Kirby Star Allies

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. In an otherwise slow week, Kirby Star Allies makes its first appearance.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between January 11 and January 17.

The Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app has received an update, though it only looks to be available on iOS at present. The latest patch is version 1.4.1. Nintendo’s update notes only make mention of bug fixes.

As far as we’re aware, this update has not yet been distributed on Android. Google Play still has Nintendo Switch Parental Controls at version 1.4.0. If that changes, we’ll let you know.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
