Overcooked: Special Edition launched on Switch last week. Though it’s considered to be an excellent game, it could use a little bit of work on Nintendo’s console. Some users have encountered bugs, frame rate slowdown, and other issues.
Fortunately, the developers are already on the case. An update is in the works, but there’s no word yet on when it will arrive.
The official Overcooked Twitter account has been interacting with players, confirming that a patch is already underway:
We're looking into an update at the moment 🙂

Digital Foundry actually published a video today investigating Overcooked’s issues on Switch, which you can see below.
We finally have a straight answer directly from Nintendo about the North American pre-order situation for the Super NES Classic Edition. Later this month, pre-orders will open at “various retailers”.
Nintendo also says that there will be a “significant amount of additional systems” sent to stores for launch. More units will be shipped “throughout the balance of the calendar year” as well.
Nintendo said:
With Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle launching in about a month, a new set of previews have now been published online with details and footage. We’ve rounded up everything below.
Ubisoft has just gone live with a brand new trailer for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We’ve included it below.
The developers of Dragon Quest XI recently teased a surprise awaiting players if they connect online after completing the game. With players starting to reach that one, we now know what they were referring to. Continue on below for more.
A bunch of footage is in showing off Slime-san, which is heading to the Switch eShop on Thursday. Get a look at 41 minutes of gameplay below.
A big presentation was held for the Senran Kagura series a few hours ago. All sorts of news and announcements were shared, including an update on Shinobi Refle and the newly-revealed Peach Ball.
Following up on that, Famitsu spoke with series producer Kenichiro Takaki about the various titles in its latest magazine. Takai stated the following about the two Switch titles:
On Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura
A love adventure game with a different taste and uses HD rumble. At first it’ll be Asuka only, but I’d like to add several more characters next.
On Peach Ball: Senran Kagura
This is something I’ve always wanted to do. I wanted to play something that will let me feel when the ball touches breasts. I want to play pinball on a woman’s body.
Since there’s a lot to learn for pinball, I want to make it something easy to play.
The pinball stage will come in a light and shadow, as we’ve been working on the concept that will be something along the lines of a “bright attraction park” on one end and a “slightly suspicious attraction park at night” on the other.
This week’s issue of Famitsu has an update on Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi. Along with new details, the magazine provides a release date.
