Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time ties into the TV show in a big way. It certainly helps that Genndy Tartakovsky and Darrick Bachman, the show’s creator and writer respectively, were on board during development. Interestingly, an alternate ending was recently been discovered Battle Through Time that offers a different take on what could have served as the series’ finale.

Spoilers proceed from here out regarding both the show and game. Keep that in mind before continuing on below.

Paper Mario: The Origami King

There’s been a lot of talk regarding the direction of the Paper Mario series as of late. One comment that recently made the rounds came from producer Kensuke Tanabe, who said that the team is no longer able to “modify Mario characters or to create original characters that touch on the Mario universe.” Although that is a notable restriction, it sounds like they have a significant amount of creative control otherwise.

Speaking with Eurogamer Germany, Tanabe said the team has had “almost complete control over the creative direction of the game” going back to Paper Mario: Color Splash. It also sounds like Shigeru Miyamoto is not really involved at this point.

According to Tanabe, which we’ve translated as follows:

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced that Corrin: Child of Dusk will soon be added to Fire Emblem Heroes as the latest Legendary Hero. She’ll be going live on August 31. Other Heroes will also be appearing.

The event featuring Corrin: Child of Dusk will be live until September 6. View a trailer below.

Another Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase is in the books. After the first presentation of its kind in July, it only took about a month for the next one. Also, as far as actual content and new announcements are concerned, there was noticeably more this time around.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack, World of Tanks Blitz, Rig Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions, and Just Dance 2021 were the new announcements. Other games were shown as well, including Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, which received a November release date. In case you missed it, you can find the recap announcement here.
