Team Meat has announced a release date for the new Switch version of Super Meat Boy. On January 11, the game will be launching on the eShop.
Super Meat Boy originally came out in 2010, and has landed on many platforms since then. But even if you’ve purchased it before, there will be an incentive to pick it up again. Team Meat has revealed that on Switch, you’ll be able to partake in a brand new Race Mode.

Race Mode is something we've wanted to do since Meat Boy came out in 2010. We figured the Switch was a good time to test it out. It's fun:)

The holidays are here, the Square Enix is celebrating in style. New art was shared on the official Japanese Bravely Default Twitter account today, posted above.
Naturally, fans are already starting to speculate that the Bravely series could be appearing on Switch. We do see Edea Lee with Joy-Con in her hands after all. And perhaps the idea isn’t entirely crazy. After PlatinumGames posted some Bayonetta-themed art during the summer, Bayonetta 1 and 2 were announced for Switch at The Game Awards earlier this month. But for now, the Bravely games coming to Switch is merely speculation.
A new video has come in comparing Atelier Lydie & Suelle: Alchemists of the Mysterious Painting on both Switch and PlayStation 4. Check it out below.
Last week’s launch of Romancing SaGa 2 on Switch was pretty monumental. It was actually the first time the RPG released outside of Japan on dedicated gaming platforms. It’s mostly the same game as the Super Famicom title, but with a few extras like updated graphics and audio, new character classes, a new dungeon, and New Game+.
Prior to this week’s launch, VG247 caught up with producer Masanori Ichikawa original director Akitoshi Kawazu to talk about Square Enix’s classic. They commented on a variety of topics, including the amount of work involved needed to re-release Romancing SaGa 2, the decision to stick with pixel art as opposed to going the 3D route, and more.

Nintendo recently kicked off a Christmas event for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. The Big N is also thinking about another big event for the game based around New Year’s.
