The anticipated Castlevania animated series debuted on Netflix today. Despite that, a second season has already been confirmed.

For the first season, Castlevania only had four episodes. The next season will doubt that to eight.

Frederator Studios will be back on board to handle animation. Aside from that, not much is known, but that’s hardly surprising.

Below are a couple of videos for the first season:

Nintendo recently invited some family and friends to its North American headquarters to try out Splatoon 2 and ARMS. See what happened in the video below.

Le Monde published a new interview with Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi today. Takahashi discussed Switch shortages and how the production line has now improved, possible future collaborations, how Super Mario Odyssey’s innovation will come from the use of HD Rumble, and more. Takahashi was even asked about the futures of Wave Race and 1080°.

We’ve rounded up the more notable comments from Takahashi below. Note that the responses were translated with Google, so it’s a bit rough around the edges. Still, you should be able to get a pretty decent idea as to what was said.

At the Zelda Masterclass panel at Japan Expo in Paris, it was revealed that more Zelda behind-the-scenes books will be making their way to the West.

First up is Hyrule Encyclopedia, which is an extensive visual guide to the world of The Legend of Zelda, containing tons of art and information about the various items, enemies, locations etc across the series. It is currently set to be released in September in France, though we’d be surprised if it wasn’t released at the same time in other countries and languages.

The latest episode of the Play Nintendo Show has gone live. Andrew and Jenna compete in ARMS to see who is victorious. Check out the full episode below.

As for the art, it’s based on Eugène Delacroix’s “La Liberté guidant le peuple”. That’s an artwork at the Louvre, in case you were unaware.
