Infogrames, along with Sand Castles Studio, today shared details about a big “Laboratory” update planned for Bread & Fred.
The update doubles the game’s content with the inclusion of a new 666-meter map. It comes with its own mechanics, NPCs and lore, plus a bunch of new puzzle rooms and secret capybaras. The free content can be accessed after completing the base game in multiplayer to scale to new heights in co-op mode.
Here’s some additional information about the additions:
A bit of additional information about Nintendo Switch 2 has come to light, seemingly confirming that NFC and Wi-Fi 6 will be included.
The Verge spotted new filings with the FCC today. Based on what was published, NFC and Wi-Fi 6 will be included with Nintendo Switch 2. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) networks are supported with up to 80MHz of bandwidth, compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) on the original Nintendo Switch. Note that Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6E are not included. Additionally, tests with the FCC were only done for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks instead of the faster / shorter-range 6GHz band.
Mika and the Witch’s Mountain has announced “Into the Mount Gaun”, its third free content update.
A bunch of stuff will soon be available to players on Nintendo Switch. This includes three Zelda-like dungeons, two hours of gameplay, a new green witch outfit, and free flying.
VGP – or VideoGamesPlus – has started to make more noise in the video game space over the past few years. While the Canadian retailer has been selling games for awhile, it’s also now become known for restocks of physical releases on Switch. Titles that were generally sold out elsewhere or are hard to come by have been returning at VGP on a regular basis.
Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.
Electrogical is getting a Nintendo Switch version, publisher Phoenixx and developer Kinjo shared today. It will be available sometime in 2025.
