Nintendo has updated its upcoming maintenance schedule. The Switch Parental Controls app will be seeing some downtime next week, with eShop maintenance planned for the following week.
Here’s the full maintenance schedule at the moment:
Almost certainly as a way of price-matching the buy 2, get 1 free sale happening at Target that just started up, Amazon has kicked off its own buy 2, get 1 free sale. They’re also similar in that games, books, movies, and more are included. These deals tend to spring up around the holiday shopping season and Black Friday is set to take place later this month.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, Monster Hunter Stories 2, The Caligula Effect 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Hades, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, Mortal Kombat 11, and NBA 2K22 are just some of the Switch titles are included. Note that we didn’t list everything here. Additionally, Amazon should be updating its selection in the coming days.

I’m a big believer that the best board games are those that remain exciting and engaging regardless of whether you’re in first place or fourth – a simple enough concept on paper, yet one that’s not always so easy to execute. But Mario Party has (almost) always excelled at providing the sort of unpredictable, chaotic multiplayer experience that can deliver ample opportunities for family fun, thanks in no small part to its polished mechanics and varied mini games. Recent games in the series haven’t always hit this mark, though – Mario Party 9 and 10 scrapped the standard board game progression in favor of a controversial “travel-as-a-group” gameplay flow, and Super Mario Party alienated many handheld players with its high reliance on motion controls. Now with the release of Mario Party Superstars, Nintendo is returning to what worked by bringing back mini games, boards and mechanics from older games in the franchise – but is that enough to reinvigorate this over twenty-year-old franchise for modern players?
