Fans picked up on some footage from the Mega Man animated series during the weekend. Film Roman shared the first look, but it wasn’t intended for public consumption. Dentsu Entertainment informed Rockman Corner that the footage wasn’t final, and was based on internal animation tests.

Mega Man’s look in the show is apparently still evolving. The design shown in the clip doesn’t represent the final product.

One other note: despite what we heard previously, the Mega Man animated series doesn’t have a set network. It isn’t guaranteed to air on Disney XD.

Another CPSIA certificate was actually filed on the same day, and is just now showing. It as well appears to be from the Smash Bros. line. Now the question is, when will Nintendo start revealing these mystery figures?

Warner Bros. already announced that LEGO City Undercover is heading to Switch. On top of that, it looks like we can expect LEGO Worlds on the platform as well.

TT Games head of design Arthur Parsons confirmed on Twitter:

Warner Bros. describes LEGO Worlds as “an open environment of procedurally-generated worlds made entirely of LEGO bricks which you can freely manipulate and dynamically populate with LEGO models.” The game lets users make anything and everything one brick at a time or by taking advantage of large-scale landscaping tools. Characters and creatures interact with you as well as each other in various ways.

As previously announced, Switch will be present at PAX South in just a few days. Nintendo shared more details about its plans for the expo today.

Anyone with a PAX South badge can stop by and play games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2-Switch, Snipperclips: Cut it out, together!, Splatoon 2, Arms, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Bomberman R, and Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers.

As for the setup, Nintendo sent over the following:

“The main stage at the Nintendo booth will feature hands-on time with different Nintendo Switch games. But instead of a traditional booth setup, these games can be experienced in creative environments that show off the unique functionality of the Nintendo Switch system. For example, games can be played in the cross-section of an airplane to show how easy it is to take Nintendo Switch with you anywhere. Other games will be set up in a living room to highlight that Nintendo Switch is also a home gaming system that can be played on a TV. In addition to all the awesome Nintendo Switch experiences, the main stage at the Nintendo booth will feature hosted competitions, live demonstrations, video presentations and other fun Nintendo surprises.”

PAX South 2017 will take place between January 27 and January 29. Nintendo’s interactive booth (No. 11255) will be open from 10 AM to 6 PM each day.
