There isn’t much time remaining in 2017, but Nintendo is gearing up for its busiest week of maintenance this year. A ton of different maintenance periods are planned, affecting individual games, the eShops, and Nintendo’s systems in general. Over a dozen sessions are currently listed.
Here’s the schedule as things stand now:
Portal Knights’ new update on Switch has arrived. Version 1.2.2 is now available for all players to download.
As far as we’re aware, the patch only fixes a memory issue that plagued the game previously. We’ll let you know if we hear about the update involving anything else.
Game Swing has announced that Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Deluxe is heading to Switch. It’s launching on December 29 in Europe and January 4 in North America as a digital download.
Stikbold! is a unique dodgeball game with all sorts of different game modes, including a campaign. The exclusive Deluxe version for Switch features new content plus “improved features and gameplay for up to 6 players”.
We’ve included a bunch of additional information and a trailer below.
Bandai Namco has issued the first trailer for the newly-announced Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus. We’ve posted the video below.
Nintendo has announced a release date for Dragon Quest Builders on Switch in the west. North America and Europe will both be getting the game on February 9.
It was revealed at Jump Festa this past weekend that Dragon Quest Builders will be available for Switch in Japan on March 1. A demo will be distributed on the Japanese eShop starting February 1.
The Super NES Classic Edition is available once more on Amazon UK. You can place an order at the retailer here.
For those curious about US shipping, you should be able to place an order stateside. We were able to make it to the final step of the checkout process, so there shouldn’t be any issues.

Panic Button has already worked with Bethesda to bring Doom to Switch. Unsurprisingly, the company has been brought back to help out Wolfenstein II on the console as well.
Senior game designer Andreas Öjerfors confirmed the news to Gamereactor. Öjerfors said that Panic Button is now a Switch expert, and given how Doom turned out, Wolfenstein II should end up being a great experience on Nintendo’s console as well.
