Buddy Mission Bond

Nintendo just issued a new trailer for Buddy Mission Bond, its upcoming adventure title for Switch made in collaboration with Koei Tecmo. Watch it below.

Buddy Mission Bond is due out for Switch on January 29, 2021 in Japan. A western release has not yet been announced.

Back in 2018, we heard some talk about a possible Switch version of Indie Pogo, a platform brawler game featuring a slew of indie characters. Lowe Bros. Studios made it official as part of a new announcement today.

The Switch version of Indie Pogo will contain all previously released content, including all DLC. Players on the console will also have access to all upcoming DLC packs like Octodad from Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt, Dust from Dust: An Elysian Tail, and a fighter from Awesomenauts.

It’s been almost two years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced. Status updates have been tough to come by, especially since E3 2019. Fortunately, the wait for new information is almost over.

EDGE has revealed that it has scored Hollow Knight: Silksong for its next issue. Aside from featuring the game on the cover, an in-depth feature is planned, with the magazine teasing its article as a “world exclusive”.

Details should emerge online within the next few days – stay tuned.

SNK is bringing another NeoGeo Pocket Color game to Switch. Fatal Fury: First Contact, a fighter that originally debuted in 1999, is out today on Nintendo’s console.

Here’s some information about Fatal Fury: First Contact:

Update: The patch notes and fighter adjustments are in – see this post.


Original: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been updated to version 10.1.0. While last week’s patch added initial functionality for the Sephiroth DLC, today’s update supports the latest round of Mii Fighter costumes and includes fighter adjustments. We’re currently waiting on the full patch notes from Nintendo.

To access the update, go to the Switch home menu, select the icon without starting the game, press the + or – button on your controller, choose “Software Update”, and finally “Via the Internet”. It will also download automatically if you have automatic updates turned on in system settings.

There have been lots of leaks from Nintendo’s archives throughout 2020. They’ve provided interesting information about a few classics like Luigi in Super Mario 64, proposals for a portable GameCube with dock and a more powerful GameCube successor, cancelled Game Boy / Game Boy Color games, and more. 2020 is just about to end, but not before an additional Nintendo leak – this time for Switch.

The Switch leak covers documents from 2014, well before the system was finalized. Twitter users orcastraw and forestillusion shared some of the interesting findings. We’re able to see an early design (above) and learn about cut features like 3DS backwards compatibility.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits:

When the Past was Around

System: Switch
Release date: December 3, 2020
Developer: Toge Productions, Mojiken Studio
Publisher: Chorus Worldwide Games


It needs to be said right away that When the Past was Around is one of the most beautiful and evocative experiences I’ve had in quite some time. It’s games like these that I usually love to close a year off with, just as I did previously with Gris. These types of titles these go beyond a narrative being told and go straight for the heart, and, much like Gris, convey a lot by saying very little. When the Past was Around is a game that lets the art and your actions do the talking as your 20-something character goes through love, loss, and heartbreak, as well as the trials and tribulations of life and how we face them. It has a little something we can all connect to, and finding and utilizing these puzzles to face our issues – much like how we solve problems in our own lives – become complex only when they need to or if we don’t look deeper. When the Past was Around almost feels like an interactive metaphor, but does so in a gorgeous way that accentuates its stunning art style, relaxing yet thought-provoking gameplay, and café-like vibes that make it feel like a real joy to play from beginning to end despite its heavy themes.

Super Nintendo World has quite a few technological elements that go beyond just the theme park itself. We know about things like the wrist bands to collect digital coins and compete with others, the AR-themed Mario Kart ride, and a mobile app.

Speaking of that mobile app, fans have made an interesting discovery after picking through the download’s various files. It turns out that stickers exist for the Donkey Kong series. You’ve got Donkey Kong himself, Diddy Kong, and a few other related items.

So far, Nintendo hasn’t officially announced any major Donkey Kong aspects of Super Nintendo World. There have been plenty of rumors in the past though, and future expansions could make some additions based on the franchise.
