Many years after the game first launched, Spirit Hunter: Death Mark just received brand new DLC with Chapter 7 Kaerazu’s Amusement Park. After buying the new content, players will need to install a version 1.02 update.
The DLC offers a different perspective on events from the original Spirit Hunter horror visual novel. We first saw the game in 2018, meaning the DLC comes around seven years later.
Here’s some additional information:
Following recent confusion, Nintendo has clarified that its Switch 2 Editions will contain everything on their cartridges, meaning no extra download will be required for the games.
We first heard from a UK customer support representative that these titles would have their content and features available as a download. However, a different representative later indicated otherwise. If a download had been required, physical Switch 2 Editions would essentially be Switch 1 games on the actual cartridge.
March 21: Splatoon 3 today announced that it has a new Splatfest in store for Spring Fest 2025.
For this year’s theme, Nintendo is asking about productivity and when players get things done. The options are morning, afternoon, and night.
Courtesy of Alliance Arts, Acquire, and WSS Playground we have the launch trailer for All In Abyss: Judge the Fake. The poker battle mystery adventure RPG just arrived this week on Nintendo Switch.
A bunch of information about the game is available in the following overview:
March 19: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is almost here (or is already here depending on your region), and to tie in with the launch, new icons are going up on Nintendo Switch Online. The first set should be made available later today in North America (or early tomorrow in Europe).
The game will be featured on the service over the next few weeks. Fans can obtain characters, backgrounds, and frames based on the game. Characters cost 10 Platinum Points each on My Nintendo. Everything else goes for 5 Platinum Points each.

Soley developed by Maciej Targoni and being published to consoles by Ultimate Games S.A, Hook is a relaxing minimalist puzzle game from 2015. The game received overwhelmingly positive response on Steam, and its 2022 sequel received similar praise. Both games are making their way to Nintendo Switch as Hook: Complete Edition tomorrow.
Here’s some additional information about the game:
Shmupulations recently released a translated 2003 Nintendo Dream interview with the lead developers of Mario Kart: Double Dash. Producers Tadashi Sugiyama and Shinya Takahashi, as well as chief director, Kiyoshi Mizuki, all discuss the development of Double Dash as well as their concern over the two-driver mechanic.
Sugiyama suggested that the staff wasn’t very confident in the feature, as to not harm what made Mario Kart unique. The team was even simultaneously developing a single-driver version in the early stages, in case two drivers didn’t go over well. After they gained confidence, they discuss that most of the games’ development time was placed into tinkering with the two-driver mechanic.
Here’s what they said, as shared by Shmupulations:
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is still only on Wii U, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will never receive a Nintendo Switch 2 port.
Tim Gettys of Kinda Funny Games was recently able to get some hands on time with the new system during a press event. He also spoke with a representative and asked about the status of The Wind Waker HD. Wind Waker will be launching on Nintendo Switch 2, but that’s through Nintendo Switch Online with the new addition of GameCube classics.
