In July of last year, Studio Nanafushi announced Dead or School, a side-scrolling action game with RPG elements, for Nintendo Switch. Today, they shared an update on the game’s development. The Switch version is planned for a release in Japan in August. A physical version of the game will also be available. A Western release has not yet been confirmed; however, the Steam version of the game, which is already out, features English text, so it’s certainly possible that the Switch version will be released outside Japan as well.
The developers of Overcooked 2 recently teased a new update coming to the game. We now have some more concrete info thanks to the following trailer:
The “Chinese New Year” update includes a new map with seven new levels, two new recipes (fruit platter and hot pot), two new chefs (Chinese dragon and pig) and a new game mode, Survival Mode, in which every dish you serve adds seconds to a timer, and when that timer reaches zero, it’s game over. Finally, a replay button was added to the results screen, allowing you to immediately replay a level. The update also includes several bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Accolade and Choice Provisions announced today that Bubsy: Paws on Fire will launch on Switch in April. That may not be the end for the game, however.
Tomorrow, a Kickstarter campaign for Bubsy: Paws on Fire will be going live. The “Spicy Extra’s” DLC could allow for new costumes, impossible levels, mini-games, new themes, and a new character. We have a trailer promoting the Kickstarter below.
Last week, Piranha Plant was added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a new playable character. It can be used in all sorts of game modes and isn’t just limited to regular battles. But soon after the character was made available, reports started to surface that using Piranha Plant in All-Star mode could corrupt save data.
Newsweek has now obtained an official statement, and Nintendo says it “has not been able to confirm that there is an issue”. The full comment reads:
Pokemon GO has kicked off a Lunar New Year event. While live, Rattata, Ekans, Mankey, Ponyta, Electabuzz, Dratini, Mareep, Miltank, Torchic, Poochyena, Spoink, and Buneary will appear more frequently in the wild. You may also encounter a Shiny Spoink.
As far as bonuses go, there’s twice the catch XP and double the XP when evolving Pokemon. And when you trade a Pokemon, there’s an increased chance it will become a Lucky Pokemon.
The Lunar New Year event will be live until February 13.
Playdius posted a new gameplay video for Away: Journey to the Unexpected showcasing character Labiworker. View it below.
