A new update for SteamWorld Heist II was made available for Switch this week via version 1.5.
New features and various fixes are included. One of the highlights is that players can now buy back rare items they’ve sold from the new Used Goods section at Argent’s Articles. The team also added options to improve ship firing angle visibility and adjust dialogue text speed.
The full rundown is follows:
In what has come as a surprise to many, a number of hardware prototypes were added to the Nintendo Museum just days before the official opening date.
One of the key complaints brought up with the location prior to its opening was that based on what was shown in the Direct and to the press, Nintendo didn’t delve much into its history here. However, this has been rectified a bit. Now that the museum has just started to open, fans have discovered that many prototypes are on display, including the earlier times with the Super Famicom and Virtual Boy, extending into the Wii U era. Some have been shown publicly before, but many have not.
August 27: The Exit 8, which launched on Switch earlier this year, is now getting a sequel titled The Platformer 8. This one will be available on November 28, 2024.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was arguably the biggest relaese of the month, and the game manages to start off at #1. EA Sports FC 25 also did very well and actually takes up two spots. We’ll also mention that Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics comes in at #13.

Yuki Ishikawa, the producer of Tales of Graces F Remastered, has spoken about the decision to bring back the RPG.
Ishikawa indicated that there’s been fan interest in seeing it happen. We also learn that it’s been in the works for the past 2-3 years.
Ishikawa stated:
Takaya Imamura had a legendry career at Nintendo where he spent over thirty years at the company, working on franchises like F-Zero and Star Fox.
In a recent interview with Famitsu, Imamura shared some insight into the inspiration for F-Zero. Along with the second Back to the Future movie, it also looks like the team was influenced by Tim Burton’s Batman. He went as far as to say that director Kazunobu Shimizu wanted to emulate the Batmobile.
Our translation of the interview excerpt is as follows:
Publisher Plow Games and developer Bringle Family Entertainment have announced The Legend of Santa for Switch, and it’s arriving very soon. It’ll be available on October 28, 2024.
The Legend of Santa combines side-scrolling platforming action with Christmas and Halloween adventure aspects while also featuring up to four-player co-op. Mario definitely looks to be an inspiration here as well.
