Here’s everything included.

Level-5 returned to the West in a big way earlier this year with the release of Megaton Musashi W: Wired. Eight months on, the mech battler is landing a beefy new patch, with the ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ update scheduled to come to Switch on 26th November.

As detailed in the new trailer (above) the headline addition of this one is a new online PvP mode — fittingly called ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ — where you’ll select a mech from a limited number of pre-sets and get right into a battle. You can either invite friends or hop into a room with other fighters based on your match rule preferences. Nice.

Un-bee-lievable.

If, during the late 2010s, you were pining for a new Paper Mario game, you may well have picked up Moonsprout Games’ Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, a fantastic paper-themed turn-based RPG. It came to Switch half a year after its PC release (in May 2020), and has proven popular.

However, five years after its PC release, Moonsprout Games has dropped a surprise free update for the game. What a treat!

Feline fine.

We got our first peek at Nautilus Games’ Everdeep Aurora in the 2023 Wholesome Direct before going hands-on with it at BitSummit earlier this year. We’ve liked what we have seen so far, so it’s exciting to hear the cute cat adventure now has a release window: Q3 2025.

Admittedly, that does feel like a long way away, but we’re hopeful that 2025 will bring plenty of exciting drops before then (please), so we’re sure it’ll fly by.

Including “various graphical improvements”.

Star Wars Bounty Hunter was certainly faithful but a few things also needed fixing here and there. Fortunately, Aspyr is still providing regular updates and today it’s released the second major patch for all platforms including the Switch.

Switch users can expect multiple fixes. Some are tied to Jango getting stuck, button input problems and more. Notably, there have also been “various graphical improvements” for all platforms! Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Aspyr’s official support page:

Or just misunderstood?

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the Nintendo DS launched, yet here we are. It’s been even longer since it was revealed too, with the newly-appointed VP of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aimé taking to the stage at E3 2004 to showcase Nintendo’s vision for the future of handheld gaming.

We know now, of course, that the console clutched in Reggie’s hands was a mere prototype. At the time, however, as far as many prospective customers were concerned, this was it. This was going to be the Nintendo DS that would wind up in millions of homes across the globe.
