Capcom Fighting Collection pre-order

A new Capcom Fighting Collection trailer is in that shows off the package once again and reveals pre-order plans.

Those that put in a reservation will receive bonuses, including 18 music remixes plus new illustrations. The lineup includes:

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium has been made official. The release was hinted at with a rating that was discovered earlier in the month, but an official announcement has now dropped.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium will feature another batch of 32 arcade classics. It’s also been confirmed that the 1984 title SonSon will be a free download. Additionally, those that pre-order or pick up Capcom Fighting Collection at launch will receive Three Wonders as a bonus.

Amazon and Best Buy have kicked off a new sale on some notable first-party Switch games. The lineup includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, and Miitopia. Along with physical versions, the digital eShop releases are included in the sale at Best Buy.

Almost all of these titles can be had for $39.99. Miitopia is the one exception as that’s been lowered to $29.99. Nearly everything here typically costs $60, though Miitopia is again the exception as that one started out at $50.

Nintendo Switch Sports gameplay

New gameplay from Nintendo Switch Sports has surfaced ahead of its release later this month. GameXplain shows off the footage with Soccer Shoot-Out, a full round of 4-on-4 soccer, a round of volleyball, tennis doubles, and more.

For those that haven’t been keeping up with Nintendo Switch Sports, here’s what you need to know about the title:

Metal Max Xeno: Reborn was first announced for Switch in 2019. It then debuted in Japan back in September 2020.

Over the years we’ve seen many instances in which Nintendo resorted to a very common strategy in the gaming industry: releasing a very successful title followed by a sequel using many of the tools created for its predecessor. Engine, assets, animation, and other elements are some of the things that are brought back.

Now we’re waiting on the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which seems to be taking a lot of elements from the last successful Zelda game. In today’s video, I decided to take a look at other direct sequels that Nintendo produced in the past, analyzing the different strategies and trying to see where the new Zelda may fit into that.
