Last week, Jackbox Games introduced Civic Doodle as the fourth game in The Jackbox Party Pack 4. The fifth and final game was revealed today: Bracketeering.

The full lowdown straight from Jackbox Games is below:

Yesterday, Raw Fury announced Uurnog Uurnlimited. It’s a new game created by Nifflas, who worked on games like Affordable Space Adventures and Knytt Underground.

One interesting thing about Uurnog Uurnlimited concerns custom levels. After launch, a level editor for the Steam version will be offered, which hooks into the Steam Workshop. This will let players share and download stages.

Interestingly, levels created here will be available on Switch. Raw Fury was originally thinking about offering a curated selection of custom levels as post-launch DLC on the system, but Nintendo suggested hooking the Workshop in directly instead. Levels are probably going to be filtered in some way. Raw Fury and Nintendo hope that the moves offers a more streamlined way of downloading new maps.

Yesterday, Rain Games announced that World to the West is coming to Switch. The Wii U version hasn’t been abandoned, however.

Rain Games shared the following regarding World to the West on Wii U:

“While porting to Switch has been a very smooth and pleasant process so far, Wii U is harder to optimize for, mostly due to the way the hardware is setup, and how the Wii U version is baed on an older version of the engine to ensure full system compatibility.

But we knew this going in, so we made sure that the game could stand up on its own without changing the main gameplay experience. We’re dedicated to making it play well on every platform! As far as an ETA is concerned, we’re hoping to get it out as soon as we can, but we don’t have a way to lock down a date yet, so I can’t get more specific than that.”

Another new Switch game from Team17 has been revealed for Switch outside of today’s Nindies Showcase. Included in Nintendo’s assets are screenshots for Worms W.M.D, which was originally released last year.

Unfortunately, aside from those screenshots, nothing else was included. We don’t have a fact sheet for this one or anything else.

In any case, here’s a general overview from Steam:

Super Meat Boy Forever was announced for Switch today. However, we should be getting the original game as well.

That’s according to the official Team Meat Twitter account, which shared the following:
