Bandai Namco came out with the latest update for Freedom Wars Remastered this week in the form of version 1.8.0.

There’s quite a bit here. Various weapons have been adjusted, the team added in a dash function, and much more. That’s along with the various bug fixes – plenty of issues have been fixed.

The full rundown is as follows:

Tamagotchi Plaza physical

We’ve got a bit of news for those looking to secure a physical copy of Tamagotchi Plaza. Over in Japan, Bandai Namco will be putting the game out at retail.

Tamagotchi Plaza will be available in boxed form on both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2. For the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, everything is included on the cartridge – it’s not a game-key card release. Also, both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 will support English alongside Japanese.

March 15: According to a report from eXputer writer eXtas1s, Bandai Namco plans to bring Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero to Nintendo Switch 2.

In a new video put up on YouTube, eXtas1s brings up Bandai Namco’s strong relationship with Nintendo in which the two sides have collaborated on specific projects. While Elden Ring and Tekken 8 from the publisher is also rumored, eXtas1s seems to have heard that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero on Nintendo Switch 2 is something that’s specifically happening. Further claimed is that we should be getting it around the console’s launch.
