Empire of Sin’s second update is live on Switch. Version 1.02.2.38902m contains a large amount of fixes including save corruption, softlocks, and more.

Below are the full patch notes:

Nintendo eShop

Nintendo’s current maintenance schedule is mostly status quo. There’s still one period planned for later this month involving all of the eShops, which will be impacted for a few hours.

The full schedule is as follows:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

As we enter a new month, there are a new batch of bugs, fish, and underwater creatures to encounter in Animal Crossing: New Horizons – well, for half of the world anyway. It turns out that there’s nothing new in the Northern Hemisphere, but there are quite a few additions down south.

Here’s the full lineup:

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

The original LEGO Marvel Super Heroes could be making its way to Switch. That’s based on a new rating from the ESRB, which added in the database listing this week.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 came to Switch in 2017. Wii U received the first entry back in 2013, but it never found its way to Nintendo’s current console.

Here’s some information about LEGO Marvel Super Heroes:

Suikoden

Suikoden came to be thanks to the ideas from Yoshitaka Murayama. He acted as director, producer, and writer on the series’ initial releases, but he also worked on later entries as well. Murayama ended up leaving Konami around two decades ago, but he’s not opposed to revisiting the series.

Speaking with Nintendo Everything, Murayama mentioned that the new JRPG Eiyuden Chronicle is his current focus and the fact that he’s in complete control of the IP is certainly a plus. At the same time, he would be “more than happy to work on another Suikoden game if the chance presented itself in the future.”

Murayama’s full words:

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers should be heading west soon, but the game recently made its debut in Japan. Find a bunch of footage from the Switch version below.

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers is out now in Japan. The western release is planned for early 2021.

Dark Souls: Remastered

In a previous interview with Automaton Media, key developers from Virtuos (Andy Fong and Lukas Codr) sat down to detail their porting process for Switch games. Keen readers might recognize the studio’s name from the likes of Dark Souls: Remastered, BioShock: The Collection, XCOM 2 Collection, and more.

During the interview, Virtuos confirmed that the studio has a dedicated team to work on Switch projects. The developers also spoke about developing for TV / handheld modes and where the company’s strengths lie when it comes to handling Switch ports.
