Since a mainline Pokemon has never graced a Nintendo home console, fans of the franchise are waiting to see if and when it will make an appearance on Switch. Of course, there has been plenty of speculation regarding a third version of Pokemon Sun/Moon for the platform.

When asked about Switch in a new Spanish interview, Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda said:

“Without a doubt, Nintendo Switch is the future, but we will have to wait until it goes out on the market and study how it can benefit from Pokemon. When people have it, we will have too see and deeply study how to use it so we can think how the next entries of Pokemon are going to be and how the saga can benefit from the new console.”

Masuda also mentioned that Pokemon has always evolved with Nintendo consoles, and will continue to do so. With the technology that’s available, they’ll explore how to highlight the series’ important aspect of communication.

Warner Bros. and TT Games have updated the Fantastic Beasts expansion in LEGO Dimensions to include the film’s proper ending.

Previously, the game left out a key scene from the movie’s final few minutes. A Warner Bros. spokesperson told Eurogamer that this was done as to not spoil the film. “Soon after the film was released, the cut scene was switched in the game,” the rep confirmed.

You can see the updated ending below. The first video is the original, and the second is the new version.

Mario is here to stay. As Nintendo’s biggest franchise – and one of the biggest in general – there are plenty of additional adventures in store for the future. Shigeru Miyamoto is unsure about where Mario will be taken down the road, though technology will play an important role.

Miyamoto was asked about where he sees the future of Mario going during the Super Mario Run event at the Apple Store a few days ago. He reflected on a poll conducted after Super Mario Bros. launched, and how Mario was more popular than Mickey Mouse. Miyamoto realized at the time that “Mickey Mouse was a character that had evolved with the evolution of cinema and animation, and so it was then when I felt that if I want Mario to continue to survive as a character, then Mario needs to evolve with technology and video games.” And so Mario’s future will depend on the technology Miyamoto stumbles upon in the future.

Miyamoto’s full comments:
