Dataminer Uncovers Support For Switch SDK In Fall Guys Game Files On Steam
One of the surprise video game hits of 2020 is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – a 60-player battle royale party title inspired by hilarious television game shows like Takeshi’s Castle and Total Wipeout.
Mediatonic – the developer behind this relatively new release – has an FAQ on its website. Within this, it says it would “love” to bring the game to other platforms like the Switch and Xbox further down the line.
Following on from this, Switch dataminer OatmealDome has apparently found a “NintendoSDKPlugin.dll” file within the game’s files on Steam. It’s supposedly been present since the original version of the game.
As noted, the support for Nintendo’s SDK (software development kit) doesn’t guarantee it’s coming to the Switch. If you’re thinking this might just be linked to Pro Controller support for the game on Steam, it’s likely not that, either. OatmealDome explains why in a seperate tweet:
There’s also the possibility it’s all an accident on Mediatonic’s behalf:
What do you make of this? Would you like to see Fall Guys make the Switch eventually? Tell us down below.

Existe una buena cantidad de análisis que respaldan los posibles beneficios de la dieta cetogénica, junto con la regulación del azúcar en sangre para la pérdida de peso. Sin embargo, la gran mayoría de los estudios solo se han realizado durante períodos cortos de algunas semanas o meses.
Dar prioridad a las comidas cetogénicas ricas en micronutrientes y quizás usar un suplemento mineral son dos métodos para prevenir las deficiencias de micronutrientes. Además, la restricción de carbohidratos tiene un efecto diurético, aumentando la producción de orina y una "pérdida" de agua corporal.
Random: Astronomical Discovery In Super Mario Galaxy’s Logo
This probably isn’t the sort of Super Mario Galaxy article you were hoping or expecting to see around the time of the Nintendo mascot’s 35th-anniversary celebrations but here we are…Twitter user and “starboy” CometMedal has been closely inspecting the 2007 Wii entry’s logo.
So what have they found? An edited image of the Andromeda Galaxy, originally taken by Robert Gendler in 2005. Here’s the full rundown, along with some comparison shots:
“I found the full image of the galaxy depicted in Super Mario Galaxy’s logo – an edited image of Andromeda Galaxy taken by Robert Gendler in 2005. It took some tricky work to confirm, but I pulled it off.”
Although the Andromeda Galaxy is depicted in Super Mario Galaxy’s logo, the game – to our knowledge – is simply set in outer space above the Mushroom Kingdom. If you do want to visit this galaxy though, you might be better off checking out the 2017 EA title, Mass Effect: Andromeda.
In case you didn’t know, the Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest major galaxy to our own, the Milky Way.
What do you think of this amazing find? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Gotham Knights Gameplay Demo Features Mr. Freeze Boss Fight
Following its official reveal trailer during DC Fandome, WB Games Montreal has posted an extended gameplay demonstration for Gotham Knights. The demonstration shows off Batgirl's combat prowess, which is distinctly different from how she, and other characters, played in previous Batman: Arkham games.
The video, narrated by creative director Patrick Redding, takes place about a dozen hours into Batgirl's progression in the game. Featuring an attack on Elliot Center--where Mr. Freeze has set up shop--it shows off several of the other playable characters in the game, including Red Hood. Freeze has manipulated the weather to actually flash-freeze the city, and it will take everything the young cast of heroes has to take him down.
Batgirl's agile fighting style allows her to quickly close the gaps on enemies and use their aggression against them. It's a far cry from the brutal and power-focused style of Batman, and should help to separate her from the other playable characters.
Remember that only those on Xbox One / Windows 10 / and Android may participate in the Beta builds. You will not be able to join Realms or non-beta players worlds and you will not be able to open worlds opened in the Beta in earlier/current stable builds of Bedrock.
Stability and Performance
The game no longer crashes if a player opens a Shulker Box they’re standing on after rejoining a multiplayer session (MCPE-60856)
Vanilla Parity
Sea Turtles now play a sound when they lay eggs
Dolphins will now dry out at the same rate as they do in Java Edition; 120 seconds
Undamaged Mending items will no longer prevent damaged Mending items from being repaired (MCPE-80156)
Basalt can no longer be destroyed by Ghast fireballs (MCPE-75252)
Basalt blocks now take slightly more time to destroy
TNT no longer activates when a Redstone Torch is placed directly on it (MCPE-81258)
Collecting fish with a bucket now works more consistently
User Interface
Fixed a visual issue where clicking to edit the text box in the NPC dialog would not show the caret (Education Edition Features)
New Achievements Screen
We have made some tweaks to the new achievements screen that is available to some beta players (through a gradual roll-out). Please continue to share your feedback on it in this post!
Gamepad bumpers can now be used to switch tabs in the achievements screen
Tweaked the default focus on the tabs in the achievements screen
Added extra space between the end of the list and the “input legend” at the bottom
The achievement detail screen now shows “Completed on other platform” section
Fix for ItemDescriptors
Item names of the format “minecraft:item.someitem” no longer need the “item.” portion and it will be ignored
If you were hoping for everything – including the two-player update – to be on the game cartridge, unfortunately, that won’t be happening. The Australian-based developer House House confirmed this during a recent Q&A session on Twitter (via the official Indie World Nintendo account).
#AskIndieWorldNA Will the physical version have the multiplayer update already installed?
We’re afraid not. We had to lock in the physical release build long before two-player was stable enough. As long as you can connect to the internet on your Nintendo Switch the game will update itself.
Members of Nintendo Life have done just that below, and we’d love for you to join in via our poll and comment sections. Enjoy!

I’ve just finished watching the new Netflix documentary series High Score (it’s worth a look, I might add) and it’s got me in the mood for some retro gaming. So this weekend I’ve decided to relive the glory days with games like the original Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, Sonic the Hedgehog, Star Fox and DOOM. Of course, I’ll be playing all of them on my Nintendo Switch.
In terms of more modern offerings, I might play through A Short Hike (again) – you know, one of the many games shadow-dropped during the Indie World presentation earlier this week. It’s a really charming game that’s well worth setting aside a few hours for if you haven’t already. Game on!

This weekend I’ll be continuing my playthrough of Paper Mario: The Origami King, which I’m quite enjoying so far. I’ve recently reached the desert area and just experienced what I’ll painfully refer to as the ‘but why, Bobby? Why would you do this to me?’ moment. If you’ve also made it to this point in the game, you’ll know exactly what I mean (and I’m sorry to have brought it up again).
The battle system has been pretty heavily criticised by fans of the series, but as someone who hasn’t played a Paper Mario game in about 15 years, I’m not comparing it to previous entries and I actually think it’s pretty fun. Boss battles in particular are spectacular, and I’m looking forward to fighting through more of them.
PJ O’Reilly, reviewer
Hello. Last week’s Indie Direct saw an absolute ton of really good stuff getting announced and stealth-dropped onto the eShop so I’m currently blasting through a few of those for review whilst trying to mop up the last few bits and pieces that I missed on my playthrough of Peaky Blinders: Mastermind, which I really quite enjoyed my time with.
Elsewhere I’m getting stuck into Risk of Rain 2 after having been recommended it by several friends and trying to finish up my first full season in the absolutely sublime Super Mega Baseball 3. Honestly, even if you’re not a massive fan of the game in real life, it’s one of the very best sports games on Switch, a perfect balance of arcade and sim that I just can’t stop playing. Have a good weekend whatever you’re up to or playing!

Faeria, the collectible card game meets living board game, is out today on Xbox One with full cross-play! Faeria has enjoyed a devoted PC gamer following, and we’re happy to launch on Xbox One where all players can meet each other regardless of platform. Build your deck, shape the battlefield, summon mystical creatures, and defeat your opponents in epic battles!
With its humble beginnings as a board game in the early 2010’s, Faeria later became one of the first online multiplayer card games out there. In an age when Magic Online was the gold standard for the genre, Faeria broke the mold by introducing the concept of a “living board.” This unique blend of turn-based strategy and collectible cards made the game stand out in ways others could not.
A one-time purchase collectible card game
Let’s fast forward a few years. Faeria, through support and backing from its players, is now being released on PC in a completely new arena of online card games. Hearthstone, the hugely popular card game from Blizzard, is now the big player on the digital card game scene. A renaissance is taking place in the CCG genre. In this new world, Faeria decided to distance itself from the standard “microtransaction” business model and instead focus on a “buy it once and you’re done” philosophy. This isn’t very common practice for digital card games, as some arguably predatory practices have gradually become more acceptable.
Finally being released on Xbox One, it is a strategy game that has stood the test of time. Unique in both its gameplay and business model, it certainly stands out.
What is Faeria?
Faeria is a strategy game, mixed with a card game, mixed with a board game. It takes place in an original fantasy universe on what is called a “living board,” which means each player builds the landscape as they go. Each game starts on a completely empty ocean. It’s up to the players to build the terrain around them, where once there was nothing.
The lands you build – be they mountains, forests, deserts, or lakes – dictate the type of cards you are able to play, and therefore the types of decks you are able to craft. You decide how many lands and of what type you want to build.
Do you want to summon big giant tree creatures? You’re going to need a lot of forests. Want to jump around with some frogs? Make some lakes. Devils shooting fireballs? Mountains.
You can even combine any combination of colors. You can make mountains and lakes to summon a fire-breathing frog, for example.
Hundreds of hours of content
While Faeria completely supports multiplayer with a ranked mode and even hosts official tournaments, there are over a hundred hours of single player content that meticulously teach you every aspect of the game. Do you like puzzles? You’re covered. You can complete your entire collection in under 50 hours of play, and then go on to collect pieces of lore and other cosmetics from daily missions. You really never even have to touch multiplayer to enjoy this game fully.
Basically, if you like board games, and you like card games – Faeria is the game for you.
