In April of last year, D.N.A. Softwares announced Touhou Genso Mahjong for Nintendo Switch. The mahjong game featuring characters from the Touhou universe was initially set to be released in Fall of 2019, but this didn’t end up happening. However, the release of the game in Japan is now imminent: it’ll be available on January 30 via the eShop. As neither Touhou nor mahjong are all that popular in the West, a localization of this game seems fairly unlikely.
Pretty much out of nowhere, publisher Bushiroad released a Shinchan game on the Switch. “CRAYON SHINCHAN The Storm Called FLAMING KASUKABE RUNNER!!” is now available to download on the eShop.

Here’s an overview from Nintendo’s website:

Fire Emblem Warriors and its DLC will also be on sale for 40 percent off between January 20 and February 2.
