Pokemon Sword/Shield

Undertale creator Toby Fox recently worked on the soundtrack for Gamefreak’s Little Town Hero. Today, he announced that he collaborated with Gamefreak once again – but this time, on something a bit bigger. He composed one of the tracks in Pokemon Sword & Shield. We don’t know yet which track he worked on, and Toby Fox himself says it wasn’t “one of the main tracks or anything”. Pokemon Sword & Shield are out in two weeks, on November 15.

Pokemon Masters recently added the ability to evolve Brendan’s Treecko. However, a bug prevented the sync pair story from appearing, making it impossible to evolve Treecko. This issue has now been fixed, and players can now evolve Brendan’s Treecko (and subsequently his Grovyle into Sceptile). As an apology, 600 gems have been sent out to all players.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is out today, and it has received some pretty positive reviews so far. Take a look at some of them in this brief accolades trailer Nintendo put together:

It’s possible that the Terry Bogard DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is going to happen quite soon. The official DLC page for the game, which lists the fighters appearing in the Fighters Pass, has recently been updated to describe Terry as “Coming Soon” – the previous description said “November 2019”. Furthermore, a new private video has recently been added to the official Smash Bros. Youtube channel, which might be a trailer or gameplay reveal video for Terry Bogard.

This isn’t official yet, so we’re marking it as a rumor, but all signs point to a release of Terry either this week or next week.
