Kirby’s latest art book comes with a bit of a surprise. Tucked inside one of the pages, fans are given a look at what the pink puff’s skeleton looks like.

Last November, Nintendo said that it would be investigating the head of its Russian department, Yasha Haddaji. Haddaji was seen acting unprofessionally during a Mario Kart stream, but that was far from all. Fans blamed him for a few unpopular business decisions, including no longer selling new Pokemon trading cards and not meeting demand for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee. Nintendo Russia employees also shared stories pertaining to violent behavior, unnecessary anger, and sexual harassment.

Nintendo has now concluded its investigation and has issued a statement. Ultimately, Haddaji has been warned and has issued an apology to all staff. Nintendo of Europe will also “be providing more resources to Nintendo Russia to support their efforts to bring Nintendo products and experiences to Russian players.”

More than two years after the franchise was cancelled, we have a look at Disney Infinity 4.0 thanks to some pre-alpha footage that surfaced today. We learn that it may have carried a “Kingdoms” subtitle and Yoda was to help Aladdin defeat Star Wars droids in Agrabah.

Here’s a look at the pre-alpha build:

During a recent episode of the GI Show, Wright was asked about the Smash Bros. Assist Trophy. Here’s what he had to say on the subject:
