SteamWorld Dig was originally released on Nintendo 3DS back in 2013 and was later ported to other platforms. Its sequel, SteamWorld Dig 2, was one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed indie games on the Switch last year.
Yuji Naka, most famous for his heavy involvement with the Sonic series since its beginning, has announced on Twitter that he has joined Square Enix. He will be working in game development and says that he aims to develop “an enjoyable game”.
He was a key member of SEGA and Sonic Team for over 20 years, first as a programmer on Sonic games, then later on as a general producer. In 2006, he left SEGA to create his own studio, Prope.

In order to get snowflakes, you have to complete requests from animals, Timed Goals, or get them from the Shovelstrike Quarry. Below are the items you are able to craft during the event:
This event runs from now until January 31st.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Shin Megami Tensei V is back in the top ten, and Bayonetta 3 enters the chart for the first time.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 28 and January 10.
Iast year, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems held a special Choose Your Legends event for Fire Emblem Heroes. It allowed users to vote on their favorite characters from various entries in the franchise.
This same event is now being brought back for a second consecutive year. Once again, you can choose your favorite character here. Votes can be carried out once per day over the next week.
Note that if you cast your vote with a Nintendo Account, you will receive 100 Platinum Points as a gift at a later date. The top characters will appear in Fire Emblem Heroes down the road as special versions.
First 4 Figures unveiled a new Meta Ridley figure over a year ago. This week, the company finally provided an update.
The image above “is an updated and more detailed reveal as it is now in its physical stages.” The hand in the shot was also included “to give everyone an idea as to how the actual statue scales in comparison.”
GameFly has posted the tentative boxart for Atelier Lydie & Suelle: Alchemists of the Mysterious Painting, attached above. It may end up being the final design as the western launch is just a couple of months away. If there are any changes, we’ll share the updated packaging image.
