The team at Rolling Hills recently made public their January devlog, and the game is looking wonderful!
Rolling Hills is a super cute life-sim about running your own sushi restaurant in a town full of anthropomorphic animals. All of the inhabitants are amazing and friendly, and even fix up the restaurant to give to you for free. In return, they would like a little help sprucing up their town.
Rolling Hills is still in development, and the devs are pushing for a release of sometime this year. So far the game is only announced for PC, but will most likely come to console, if all goes well. And looking at some of the recent changes, my guess is that we will eventually see Rolling Hills on the Nintendo Switch.
What’s in the update?
The developers have been working diligently on many upgrades to the overall aesthetic of the game. The buildings have recently gone through some fine tuning in an effort to really make the town come to life. It is mentioned that there is an effort being made to “make things cuter, smaller, and more detailed.”
The feel of the environment has changed to that of a more simple style, allowing the town to see more progress, as opposed to an already pretty developed zone at the start. With all of these lovely upgrades being made to the game, it appears that Rilling Hills will definitely have a nice comfy home in the life-sim genre.
More Info
Rolling Hills is coming to Steam sometime this year. The developers are also considering a console / Nintendo Switch version of the game. I have reached out to the small team to see if they can share any more details on platform and release date!
For more information on the recent development of Rolling Hills, as well as the opportunity to help the game grow, you can see the full devlog on their Patreon page.
To stay up-to-date with what is going in on with the game, you can also follow on Twitter and Discord. For more cute game like Rolling Hills, check out my coverage of Hokko Life.

Since I last played and reviewed Littlewood here, the sole developer Sean Young has made many improvements to this adorable farming simulation game. I rather enjoyed the pixel style graphics of the game, getting to know all of the villagers and fulfilling the requirements for them to move permanently, as well as shaping my whole town to my liking. The game is available now on Steam Early Access and continues to receive updates, such as this most recent and rather large feature added; Tarott Monster.
Now we can start collecting various Tarott Cards and do battle with certain villagers during big competitions that are annually held in Dirboros! The story behind these cards has to do with the fact that there are real monsters sealed away in them since the Dark Wizard’s defeat. There are 5 duelists to beat with varying elemental cards and they are as follows: Bridgette (Fire), Alister (Earth), Maya (Water), Lucius (Light), and Erika (Dark).
Not only will it be satisfying to collect these spooky, whimsical, and cute little cards but if you can manage to defeat The Big Five, you’ll receive some never-before-seen items such as badges, furniture like lamps and tables, as well as cool-looking statues to put on display! Meet your challengers at the new Card Shop and see if you have what it takes to win! Also, how fun is it to have a game inside of a game?!
This update is now live and Sean Young has Tweeted that his next focus for the game is to implement “Littlewood’s Pet System”. Below you can see an image of a cat and a dog which I am all too excited to learn more about! Don’t forget that Littlewood has also been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch so there’s a lot more coming our way.

The latest Nintendo Direct was set to feature game releases in 2019, yet Nintendo didn’t shy away to surprise fans with some more information about the Animal Crossing New Horizons Multiplayer mode and more.
In the nearly 5 minutes of new gameplay we received, we learned that Animal Crossing New Horizons Multiplayer mode will allow 8 players to come together online hang out in a town and enjoy many activities together. Planting trees, fishing, exploring and more are all part of the fun. The big N also promised that only a little bit of the games feature have been revealed and that we can look forward to many other surprises and game features we didn’t know would make it into the game.
If you want to play with your friends and share a single console you can do that as well! If you own a Nintendo Switch and a single copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons you will be able to play with up to 4 friends using only one console and one copy of the game. However, you may need an extra pair of Joy-Cons. Nintendo also did not clarify if the game will support split screen, or if all players have to stay close together with player 1 – the owner of the town – leading the way.
Fun with friends in Animal Crossing New Horizons In New Horizons local multiplayer mode, players will be able to provide a home to friends for the very first time. While it was possible do so in New Leaf, it was restricted to only one player at any given time. This time around players can play at the same time, on the same system and both have their own home placed on the same island.
Animal Crossing New Horizons is betting big on multiplayer, something that has made New Leaf so enjoyable for many years after its release. Trading with players from all over the world and exploring other towns breaths news life into the game even 7 years after its initial release.
We are truly excited to be sharing our island and goodies with players from around the world. Animal Crossing New Horizons will be coming to Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2020.
If you are looking for other Animal Crossing like games, we recommend you take a look at Hokko Life a farming and village simulation game that takes place inside a cute town filled with even cuter animals.

Button City is a coming-of-age game about making friends and adorable anthropomorphic animals trying to save their local arcade. Play mini-games, solves puzzles, and complete quests in a world with beautiful pastel colors and floating islands. Button City is created by Subliminal, a two-person indie game studio and is still in early development with no release date or announcements on platforms. However, stay tuned with myPotatoGames to stay caught up with all of the updates (see below for the latest post on their Patreon page).
About Button City
The game follows a shy fox named Fennel as he befriends the coolest kids in town, the Fluff Squad. He joins them at the Button City arcade for the tournament of the summer against their ultimate rivals the Tuff Fluffs. But their battle is cut short when they discover that the arcade will soon be closing its doors to make way for a Big Box store. With friendship on their side and a crazy scheme, the Fluff Squad set out to save their beloved hangout and win arcade glory.
At the Button City arcade, there is a fierce rivalry brewing. Eight spunky kids, two teams, one game, and one prize. It is the battle of the Fluff Squad versus the Tuff Fluffs, a story as old as time. In the arcade and beyond their rivalry runs deep. Which team is the best in town!?
The Fluff Squad
The Fluff Squad comes in with Fennel the Fox, Sorrel the Cat, Lavender the Panda, and Chive the Rabbit. They are pastel loving friends who are bright and love to dance. Don’t let their cute looks fool you, these Fluff’s mean business.
Sorrel the team leader brings the hype! Always looking for thrills and excitement she will infect you with her energy and pump you up times a billion! When she’s not dancing or playing games you can find her doing her Metal Yoga.
Chive is inventive and quick-witted. Looking to make things faster, stronger, better she hacks together devices and tinkers with the world around her so she is always at the cutting edge. She will not slow down to explain things so try to keep up.
Lavender is creative, enthusiastic, and caring. She loves to write fanfiction and draw fanart in her free time. She will talk your ear off for hours about her favorite books, shows, games, and manga. Don’t bad mouth her favorite characters or she will bring down wrath like no other.
Fennel is the newest Fluff Squad member! He is a bit shy and quiet but he’s excited to have all these cool new friends. He loves to play video games and he’s currently trying to memorize all of the knock-knock jokes in his new book, but he’s embarrassed to try telling any.
The Tuff Fluffs
The Tuff Fluffs are here to rumble with Saffron the Cat, Cayenne the Mouse, Paprika the Pup, and Sesame the Bear. These younglings come in ruff and tumble but do it for love and respect.
Saffron is the leader of the Tuff Fluffs and she means business. She will be the shoulder to cry on, she will help little old ladies cross the street, she will be Tuff to do what’s right. With lollipop in paw, she leads by being true to her Tuffness.
Cayenne is the brains of the Tuff Fluffs! Even at a young age, he already reads at a 10th-grade reading level and does complex long division in his head! He will outsmart you with high-level tactics in game and then get a perfect score at trivia.
Paprika is a star! They are super photogenic, super nice and have a ton of friends. Though they are always positive, there may be more than what they are letting on.
Sesame is super chill listening to the freshest beats before anyone else. He’s always cool to hang out with and there to listen when you’re feeling down.

A few great games are on sale during Nintendo’s Love To Game and Gift Sale.
Getting a great deal on games is always a good thing. And if there is one thing that we can expect when another holiday rolls around, it will mean more sales from all of our favorite retailers.
This year, Nintendo’s Valentines Day sale happens to bring down the cost on some cute games that I am quite fond of. First, there are few great LEGO games currently on sale, like LEGO Worlds now for only $11.99.
Possibly the greatest deal for this sale, though, would be the complete LEGO Harry Potter Collection for only $19.99. That is a lot of magical goodness for a great deal. Not to mention how LEGO tends to make every game/movie franchise just that much more silly.
LEGO Harry Potter Switch Trailer
There are a few other cute titles available on sale, but the overall list is a bit unimpressive. However, I am always keeping an eye out for other great sales. Especially since Nintendo never seems to keen on lowering the prices of their games.
Visit the official Nintendo Website to see the full list of games on sale!
