We have a look at the latest Nintendo maintenance schedule as part of our weekly update. Three sessions are still planned over the next couple of weeks, all of which involve the eShop.
Here’s the full schedule:
Gamescom 2020 is over, and the winners for the annual rewards have been announced. As far as Nintendo titles are concerned, since the Big N didn’t have a presence this year, it was Little Nightmares II that was the main representative. World of Tanks: Blitz also picked up an award.
Here’s the full lineup of winners:
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast we’re catching up on several recent releases. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a mixed bag, Giraffe and Annika a charming little adventure, Sentinels of Freedom has highs and lows, and Spiritfarer is a character-driven delight. Then… the Nintendo Direct Mini. Neither Oni Dino nor Galen really cared about the games in the showcase, but that’s totally fine. Being disappointed is fine—we move on and play all the games that are already out or releasing soon. Those who are genuinely upset? That’s behavior that players should identify within themselves and reevaluate how they interact with entertainment media.
Check out links and timestamps below and come hang out.

August is just about over, which means a bunch of bugs, fish, and sea creatures are departing from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The list is quite extensive in both hemispheres.
Here’s the full lineup:
Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment have debuted the first gameplay from The Outer Worlds’ Peril on Gorgon DLC with director Carrie Patel. Give it a look below.
The Outer Worlds is currently available on Switch. Peril on Gorgon has not yet received a confirmed release window on the platform, however.
Astral Chain is officially one year old. Nintendo and PlatinumGames launched the Switch title on August 30, 2019.
PlatinumGames is celebrating the milestone, which includes special art from concept artist Yuki Suda and scenario writer Akiteru Naka. The team also had some rather nice-looking cake prepared.
Here’s the full celebration roundup:
Earlier this week, SEGA unveiled Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. You can learn all about the game here. We also have a look at the boxart above.

Remember that with the Launch Edition, you’ll be getting a pack of rare Item Cards, including three special cards featuring items from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 launches for Switch on December 8.
