Puyo Puyo Tetris already has a demo on the Japanese Switch eShop. If you’ve been holding out for an English version, you’ll be happy to hear that it should be released soon.

An image included with Puyo Puyo Tetris’ listing on the European eShop makes note of the demo. It’s not out just yet, but with the game launching in North America and Europe this month, it shouldn’t be too long until SEGA makes the download available.

GameReactor Spain has new footage up from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Additionally, the site shares a little bit of extra information about the game as well.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a new pink boost, as we’ve seen in some of Nintendo’s official videos. If you hold the ZR button longer (about four seconds), after the red and blue boosts, it’ll turn pink. The pink boost is said to be more powerful and durable.

Loading times also seem to be improved on Switch. For example, loading the Egg Cup now takes less than 9 seconds on Switch in TV Mode, whereas it’s about 13-14 seconds on Wii U. Playing it in Handheld Mode hasn’t been fully tested, but it’s likely the same there as well.

Check out all of the latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe footage below.
