If you own Super Mario Party Jamboree, a new version 2.2.0 update is now available to download. This is for both the original Nintendo Switch version and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

Nintendo Switch 2 is where we see most of the adjustments. For one thing, Jamboree can now be played at full HD of 1080p. Also worth noting, the difficulty of Carnival Coaster has been adjusted.

Splatoon 3 will soon be going live with its latest update, with Nintendo having announced version 10.1.0. It will be available on September 3 in North America and September 4 in Europe.

This patch is all about balance adjustments. Changes have been made to a few main weapons while modifications are also planned for multiplayer “based on changes observed after adding the Splatlands Collection.”

The full rundown is as follows:

Forsaken 64 Switch Online

Two new Nintendo Switch Online games are on the way, with North America getting Forsaken 64 while Japan is set to receive Magical Vacation.

Forsaken 64 originally launched in 1998. Probe Entertainment was behind the title, which was a first-person shooter.

We’re in September, which means there’s a new set of classic icons available on Nintendo Switch Online – and now it’s time for Fire Emblem and F-Zero to shine. They’ll be up for the whole month.

Both of these have a “play to unlock” requirement. That means you’ll need to boot up F-Zero on the SNES app and Fire Emblem on the GBA app in order for them to be made available. Note that for Fire Emblem, you’ll need to be a part of the Expansion Pack tier on Nintendo Switch Online.
