Yesterday, Nintendo announced the western release date for The World Ends with You: Final Remix. The Switch title launches in North America and Europe on October 12.

Following up on the news, retailers like GameStop have updated their listings. Rather than the original $60 price point, The World Ends with You: Final Remix is now listed at $50. Amazon and Best Buy are also showing the same price.

Most Switch games tend to cost $60. The World Ends with You: Final Remix won’t be receiving a massive discount, but it’ll be $10 lower than originally expected.

A new update is now available for the Switch version of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Nintendo has issued version 1.0.2.

The new update addresses one issue in particular. In the past, there was a problem in which the route to stage 3-4 wouldn’t open after clearing stage 3-3. This has since been addressed.

Update: Nintendo has reverted the song title to its original name from last week. Make of that what you will.

Original: You may recall that, last week, Nintendo shared a new Smash Bros. Ultimate music. The last piece added to the site was a Galaga medley.

Fast forward a week later, and the title of that medley has been updated. No one can say why at the moment, but it may very well point to a brand new character – who could be revealed tomorrow.
