During the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Finals, new information about the fighting game was announced.
Season 3 and FighterZ Pass 3 are officially happening with even more DLC characters. Five additions are planned, starting with Kefla at the end of February. Goku (Ultra Instinct), who was previously announced, will follow this summer.
Those who purchase FighterZ Pass 3 will get two days of early access to each character. That means with Kefla, you’ll be able to start playing on February 26 instead of February 28.
Here’s a trailer for FighterZ Pass 3:

Sakurai on the creation of Byleth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai wrote up his latest column in the Japanese magazine. Many of his pieces as of late haven’t been related to the Switch game, but seeing as Byleth has now been added, he felt he should publish a few words on the character’s creation.
We published a brief summary of Sakurai’s column a few days ago. Now, however, we have a full translation – which does include some quick mentions of Smash Bros. having too many Fire Emblem characters and sword-users.

Pre-order Metro Redux for Switch, get the Ranger Cache Pack
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A substantial pre-order bonus has been revealed for Metro Redux on Switch. By reserving the game, players will receive access to the Ranger Cache Pre-order Pack.
The pack comes with a host of physical goodies. It includes a double sided alternate inlay, game case sleeve, pin badge set, double sided art cards, and one A2 double-sided poster.
You can pre-order Metro Redux for Switch on GameStop. It’s also up on Amazon without the bonus, so it’s unclear if this will be a GameStop-exclusive.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
