November 27: It’s been a long time coming, but the Nintendo Switch version of Victory Heat Rally finally has a release date. The game has appeared on the eShop showing that it’s due out on December 12, 2024.
If you’ve been keeping track of our coverage, you may recall that we first reported on the game way back in 2020. The following year, Playtonic picked it up for publishing and it was planned for 2022. The racer finally came to PC recently, and it now looks like we’ll be seeing it on Nintendo Switch very soon.
It’s time for the newest North American Nintendo Download report for the week of November 28, 2024. The latest releases include Antonblast, Snow Bros. Wonderland, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
PQube and Storybird Studio just passed along a release date for Beyond the Ice Palace 2. On Nintendo Switch and elsewhere, it launches on March 13, 2025.
Beyond the Ice Palace 2, a 2D platformer and sequel, was originally planned for this year. That means the game has technically been delayed, but the wait should be worth it.
Inti Creates just went live with a version 1.1.0 update for Card-en-Ciel. This is the first major update for the game.

According to a filing in federal court in Washington State, Nintendo of America is now going after new targets related to Nintendo Switch piracy, including members of the SwitchPirates subreddit.
