Dark Mirror is a new mode with more powerful enemies and lots of other features. A ton of other changes and bug fixes are also incoming.

The full patch notes for the Skul: The Hero Slayer “Dark Mirror” update are as follows:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe new characters

In the flood of news this week stemming from the latest Nintendo Direct, something fans may have missed is that the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC will be adding even more returning characters in the future.

For the first three waves, only new tracks were added. However, for the fourth round, Nintendo announced that Birdo is on the way. Confirmation of even more characters were confirmed in the Nintendo Direct recap we posted, but that was something may probably missed. We should be seeing at least two more roster additions later in 2023.

Hokko Life "World Shrines" update

Team17 and Wonderscope Games issued a substantial update for Hokko Life on Switch this week, dubbed “World Shrines”.

The update includes new features, changes, and fixes. Players can expand their housing, teleport with World Shrines, access the small barn on Aubrey’s Farm, and more. Also worth noting is that the Mayor Merits screen has been reworked and some merits have also had their requirements lowered to make them easier to unlock.
