A few new games out came out this week on the various eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
Not one, but two episodes of Nintendo Minute have gone live this week. Along with yesterday’s Super Mario Odyssey video, a new one is up looking back at Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. View the full episode below.
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ has been updated in both North America and Europe. After downloading the latest patch, you should be at version 1.2.
We’re hearing that Nicalis has added new items from the booster packs. Charge bars has also been added to the settings, and some bugs may have been addressed. If we see any official patch notes, we’ll add them in here.
Early reports from consumers indicate that Nintendo has done a much better job with Super NES Classic Edition shipments compared to last year’s NES Classic Edition. Still, if you’ve lucked out on finding a unit, don’t turn to the likes of eBay just yet.
Polygon heard from Target, GameStop, and Toys “R” Us that more SNES Classic Edition consoles will be available throughout the holiday season. The only slight unknown is Best Buy. The retailer did not respond to Polygon’s inquiry, but it’s very unlikely they’ll be left out of future shipments.
As for Target, GameStop, and Toys “R” Us, they say the restocks will take place sporadically during the holiday season. They’re just not offering any specific dates in terms of additional shipments. Customers will be provided with updates when shipments are expected.
Game Informer has a lengthy video up for The Jackbox Party Pack 4. Check out 48 minutes of footage with the game’s developers below.
Want something to be excited about? Super Mario Odyssey launches in a month. To promote the game, Nintendo appears to be teaming up with Best Buy with a playable demo. We’re hearing reports that it’s starting to be installed today. We’re unsure if the demo will be available at every single Best Buy in the US, but you might be seeing it at your local store soon.
Thanks to Paul for the tip.
At Wonder Festival earlier this year, one of the new figures revealed was from Kirby: Planet Robobot. Kirby is getting a new figure in his Robobot Armor.
The figure is on display at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show this weekend, and we have a couple of new photos of the product. It’s in the prototype stage, so it’s mostly still devoid of color.
Good Smile will be releasing the figure at some point in the future. More information will be shared later.
It was announced yesterday that Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure is coming to Switch digitally on October 11. Watch a new trailer for the game below.
Koei Tecmo began shipping Fire Emblem Warriors in Japan this week, including the special Premium Box release. Its full contents are unboxed below.
Another Switch game is lined up for release next week. According to Nintendo’s website, Volgarr the Viking releases digitally on October 5.
Volgarr the Viking possesses all the hallmarks of the true classics – simple controls, high challenge, and meticulous design – combined with hand-made pixel animation, an epic soundtrack, and buckets of blood.
Volgarr the Viking is also listed for October 5 on the European eShop, so this should be the final date. The game will cost $9.99.
