Corrin is among the Smash Bros. amiibo we’re still waiting on. Despite the silence surrounding the figure, it’s still on the way. Nintendo briefly mentioned it in today’s announcement for the Fire Emblem Echoes Limited Edition. Corrin, along with other Fire Emblem amiibo from the Smash Bros. series, can be used to summon an illusory hero of that character.

Corrin was one of the final characters added to Smash Bros. Wii U / 3DS. Cloud and Bayonetta amiibo have not yet released as well.

It’s been 26 years since Street Fighter II: The World Warrior originally launched, but one player – going by the name Desk – has managed to find some new combos in the game.

Desk takes the game’s Vega restand glitch to a new level. He’s basically discovered that you can continue to hit Vega (Claw) when he has been knocked down by a sweep. The glitch itself isn’t new, but Desk found an original way of working with it and pushed its limits.

Here’s a look:

Atlus has just gone live with a teaser site for what looks to be a new Radiant Historia game. Access it here.

Obviously the URL is pointing to the site being related to Radiant Historia. Other than that, a message reads: “In the near future, a history once told will unfold again. And an unknown path will come to be known.” More information will be shared in this week’s Famitsu.

While we’re generally against posting news without platforms having been confirmed, many of you know that Radiant Historia was a DS game. Hopefully Atlus will bring whatever this is to Nintendo platforms – be it Switch and / or 3DS.

Pokemon developer Game Freak is currently searching for a motion modeler. The company is trying to find someone who has experience making models on the level of Wii U and PlayStation Vita, and experience with the computer program Maya is required.

Game Freak cites the following as bonuses:

– Experience in deciding character model specifications
– Experience in managing progress of character models
– Experience in producing deformed characters
– Experience in producing monster models

The modeler will be asked to work on creating character models for an unspecified consumer game development project.

The position with Game Freak is on a contract basis and can lead up until May 2018.

Before Switch was announced, rumors persisted of a third Pokemon entry to accompany Pokemon Sun/Moon on Nintendo’s system. No announcement has been made, but if it exists, perhaps this job listing could be related.

A very skilled Street Fighter V player has modded Zero Suit Samus into the Street Fighter V, allowing players to fight as Zero Suit Samus in-game. While technically just a very well-made skin for the character Cammy, Zero Suit Samus nonetheless looks to be a great addition to the cast of the game. Check it out in the video below.
