OK, we're back to normal circumstances somewhat, so what are we looking at?

The big one for me is Baba Is You, which I've heard one party in particular compare to CELESTE in terms of potential post-release hype which isn't bad for a puzzle game.

Nintendo is taking another swing at Labo, and returning to VR at the same time.

The fourth Labo kit will be a kit themed around virtual reality, and launch on April 12. The kits will support the Switch being used for the screens, and the Joy-Con will be used for tracking. Six kits will be available: VR Goggles, Blaster, Camera, Bird, Elephant, and Wind Pedal.

With the grand prize of a free $9.99 to put toward your Switch Online sub.

Nintendo has laid out the plans for the March update to Switch Online, which will have a bit of variety.

The NES games added to the service will be Kid Icarus for all territories, while the Western territories will receive the unreleased-in-Japan Star Tropics. Japan will instead get Konami's 1985 proto-fighter Yie-Ar Kung Fu and the original Fire Emblem.

The wacky eShop title Pato Box developed by Bromio will soon be getting the physical treatment on Nintendo Switch and Playstation Vita. The Switch will receive a Standard Edition priced at $29.99 and a special Limited Edition for $39.99 with preorders starting March 7th via online worldwide seller Playasia.
