A new update has landed on the Japanese Twitter account for Super Mario Odyssey. This time around, we’re shown one of the enemies from Luncheon Kingdom. It was featured in the game’s original trailer.

What we have is a new look at the Cook Bird (name may differ in the final version). It’s a food-loving animal as the name suggests. Also, it looks like it’s busy preparing stew for Bowser’s wedding ceremony.

One of the new features ARMS is adding with its big update this week are records. Nintendo now shares additional details as to how it works.

Each time ARMS receives a notable new update (version 3.0, 4.0., etc.), new records will be added. Each version will have its own page of records. Past records can always be revisited, but previous versions can’t be changed. So if you update your game to version 3.0 in the future, your records for version 2.0 will be set.

Here’s a look:

2nd Studio has been looking to fund its strategic brawler KnightOut on Fig. With over two weeks left in the campaign, the $15,000 goal has already been surpassed. The team is now turning its attention to stretch goals, including online multiplayer, an extended soundtrack, and “Death Match”.

KnightOut should be out on Switch later this year. A video and additional details about the project can be found below.

KnightOut will get you on the edge of the couch as you battle your best friend. How will you bring your soon to be ex friend to his knees? Use your strategic overview as you build your castle which defines half of the battlefield, a good defense is all you need, or master the sword and take him out in close combat. Only one can be jumping in the couch spilling his beverage in celebration. Will it be you?

Don’t got any friends? Don’t worry KnightOut is for everybody also the lone wolf. In arcade mode you defend your castle against waves of enemies alone or with your friend. Rise to the top of the leaderboards if you can master this mode.
