It was around this time last year that Starlight Children’s Foundation and Nintendo unveiled the Starlight Nintendo Switch Gaming Station. We now have a follow-up as these units are starting to make their way to hospitals and health care facilities across the United States.
Each station has 25 games pre-loaded, including Super Mario Party and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s important to note that they have been “manufactured to meet strict infection safety protocols” and can be rolled anywhere in the hospital.
The cinematic puzzle-platformer Inmost has received a new update on Switch. Version 1.0.4 includes performance improvements, fixes, and more.
Below are the full patch notes:
Stardash, a platformer announced for Switch back in September, now has a release date. An eShop listing confirms that the game will be out on January 7, 2021.
Here’s some information about Stardash as well as a trailer:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include Cyber Shadow and more.
Here’s the full roundup:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai published his latest Famitsu column this week. Given that Sephiroth just joined the game as the latest DLC character, it makes sense that the piece was entirely about the new roster addition.
Sakurai’s column offers insight into how Sephiroth was implemented, including the challenges involved and his “Winged Form”. He also briefly touches on the game’s reveal trailer.

Another year is almost in the books. 2020 will be finished in just a few days, which given how things have been over the past several months, that’s probably a good thing.
As far as gaming goes, plenty of titles came out this year. Nintendo itself published Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, Paper Mario: The Origami King, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and Fitness Boxing 2 (with a smattering of smaller things like Kirby Fighters 2). From third-parties, some of the highlights were Hades, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Trials of Mana, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and Doom Eternal.
