Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule for the week of December 17, 2023. Only one session is currently lined up for Switch.

Here’s the full maintenance schedule for the week of December 17, 2023:

Hammerwatch II launch trailer

We have a fresh launch trailer for Hammerwatch II, which launched on Switch this week. This one comes from Modus Games and Crackshell.

Here’s a bunch of information about the medieval action RPG:

Choo-Choo Charles

Choo-Choo Charles, which initially launched a year ago, is now making the jump to Switch. An eShop listing indicates that Two Start Games will be bringing the title to Nintendo’s console on January 18, 2024.

Choo-Choo Charles is an open-world horror game in which players take on the role of an old train as they upgrade it and fight  an evil spider train. Further details can be found in the following overview:

Hirilun gameplay

Ratalaika Games brought Hirilun to Switch this week, and we have new gameplay. Those that are interested in the title can get a closer look at the first-person platformer.

Check out the following overview for more details:

Saturnalia physical

A little over a year following its digital launch, Saturnalia is now planned for physical release on Switch.

Limited Run Games will be in charge of distribution. The company will only be offering a standard version at this time.

Kubfu location Pokemon Scarlet Violet

For those looking to get their hands on Kubfu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as part of The Indigo Disk, we have a location guide for you so you can learn where to find it.

The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet includes Kubfu as one of the Legendary Pokemon that can be caught. It’s a good thing, too – Urshifu is currently one of the strongest Pokemon in VGC, and it was previously only obtainable via Pokemon Sword and Shield’s DLC campaign.

Before we get into the Kubfu location, keep in mind that you can get the Scroll of Darkness or Scroll of Waters from the Porto Marinada auction house. From there, you can use it like an item to evolve Kubfu without having to do any of the training present in the Isle of Armor DLC.

Zelda Tears Kingdom Rauru seal shrines Lightroots

Hidemaro Fujibayashi and Eiji Aonuma, the director and producer of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, have shared interesting information regarding Rauru’s seal – including what it did to Ganondorf – as well as the shrines and Lightroots. This comes as part of a recent interview with Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream that we’ve translated.

We won’t go too much into a summary here as the interview goes into (light) spoilers, but we get to hear about what Rauru’s seal on Ganondorf actually was, the appearance of shrines and Lightroots, and more.

Raccoo Venture gameplay

Following the debut of Raccoo Venture on Switch this week, we have new gameplay. 19 minutes of footage shows off the 3D platformer.

Learn more about it in the following overview:
