2022’s Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope was an excellent evolution of its predecessor’s fast-paced, freeform strategy gameplay, and I’ve been eager to check out its DLC to have an excuse to play more of it. The Last Spark Hunter is significantly larger in scope than the run-based Tower of Dooom DLC from earlier this year, this time offering up a whole new planet to explore, a new antagonist, and even some new mechanics to shake up gameplay. But for players who have likely already sank dozens of hours into the base game, is the overall quality high enough to justify revisiting the world of Sparks of Hope?

The developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn’t take any inspiration from Elden Ring or any other major titles for that matter. That’s according to Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the game’s director and Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the series.

FromSoftware previously said that when the studio was developing Elden Ring, it was influenced by various titles including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, it sounds like the team at Nintendo was too busy to play that game – or at least that goes for the developers at the top.

Hamster kept up its run of classic games on Switch goes this week with Arcade Archives Pole Position, and ew have gameplay. Plenty of footage was shown during the company’s latest live stream.

For a quick recap on the title itself, read the following overview:

PepperStones is hard at work on its upcoming title Wetory, and has confirmed that it will be released on Switch in the future. The project should be finished sometime in 2023.

Wetory is officially described as “an adventure story 3D rogue-like game about a child whose feet leak water colors and strives to regain lost colors.” Here’s some additional information:

We have a launch trailer for Garlic, a new 2D precision platformer from Ratalaika Games and Sylph. This one just arrived digitally today.

Additional information about it can be found in the following overview:

Super Mega Baseball 4 is back with a second update, and we have the patch notes.

A number of improvements have been implemented across Franchise Mode, Pennant Race, Online Leagues, and more. A ton of bug fixes have also been implemented with some specific to Switch.

Here’s the full rundown:

AEW: Fight Forever recently landed on a bunch of platforms including Switch, and Digital Foundry has now shared a technical analysis that goes over various aspects including frame rate and resolution.

Strictly talking about Nintendo’s console, the resolution isn’t great and the graphics have been scaled down. While that may sound disappointing, the frame rate seems to be steady which is very much important.
