Earlier this week, THQ announced that it’s bringing Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning to Switch. The RPG will be out in just a couple of months.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning will be sold physically (complete with all content on the cartridge), and we have the boxart above. Amazon is currently taking pre-orders here. For those in the UK, it’s up here.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is lined up for a March 16 release on Switch. More information and a trailer can be found in our original post here.
One of the new aspects of Bowser’s Fury in Super Mario 3D World for Switch involves Bowser Jr. The character will be with you along the way and provides help by fighting enemies as well as uncovering power-ups. A friend can even play as Bowser Jr. in local co-op.
It looks like you’ll actually be able to adjust how often Bowser Jr. provides help. Nintendo sent out a Japanese screenshot of the settings for Bowser’s Fury, and while we can only seen one of the options, it equates to something like “from time to time” or “a little”.
Here’s a look at the settings:
Amazon UK has pre-orders up for a bunch of upcoming amiibo. Along with the double pack for Cat Mario and Cat Peach, you can also reserve the Banjo & Kazooie, Terry, and Byleth Smash Bros. amiibo.

Olija launches for Switch via the eShop on January 28.
Capcom recently shared an interview with Monster Hunter Rise sound director Kosuke Tanaka and lead composer Satoshi Hori. Unsurprisingly, much of the discussion centered around the game’s sound and music.
Tanaka and Hori commented on topics like the sound effects, recording the music, and approach to returning tunes from past titles. We also get some insight into why Capcom wanted to have the hunters talk this time around.
Here’s the full discussion:
Another update has gone live for the Switch version of Calico. The game is now at version 1.03, containing a few more features, bug fixes, and more.
The official patch notes are as follows:
According to a new estimate from SuperData, the Switch version of Among Us sold 3.2 million copies on Switch during December. It was “the highest-earning version of the game for the month,” the report states.
That number is not official, so we do again need to stress that this is an estimate. Still, anything even remotely close to 3.2 million would be quite impressive.
We can say for a fact that Among Us has repeatedly topped the Switch eShop charts since launch.
Mario Kart Tour will be kicking off its latest event next week. The Cat Tour goes live on January 26 at 10 PM PT / January 27 at 1 AM ET, the company has announced.
Remember that the Berlin Tour is currently running in Mario Kart Tour, though it will be ending soon. It’ll be over once the new Cat Tour starts.
