During the latest episode of Washa Live hosted by writer Mafia Kajita and voice actor Yuichi Nakamura, Masahiro Sakurai stopped by for a chat. Given the popularity of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate it’s only natural that he was asked about the game.
Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will soon be joining the Smash Bros. roster, and there have been all sorts of reactions to the reveal. Some fans have been disappointed to see another sword fighter being added to the game. However, as part of the conversation, the Smash Bros. director reiterated that those kinds of decisions aren’t up to him.
Here’s the full translation from Nintendo Everything:

A few days ago, Super Mario Bros. 35 kicked off its second World Count Challenge event. Players were tasked with collectively defeating 350 million Goombas. 317,373,419 Goombas were defeated in total, so the goal was ultimately not met.
The event was originally tied into a My Nintendo promotion. If the 350 million target was met, players would have been awarded with 350 Platinum Points on My Nintendo.

Update (3/3): Although there’s still been no official announcement, this looks to be a lock at this point. Amazon now has its own listing up with the boxart (see below) and May 6 release date. Pre-orders are open here.
Original (2/26): The shoot ’em up title Raiden IV x Mikado Remix was revealed for Switch a couple of months ago. Although we’ve only heard about a release in Japan thus far, it seems that a western launch is planned as well.
Raiden IV x Mikado Remix popped up today on the ESRB. UFO Interactive is listed as the publisher, which makes sense since the company was involved with Raiden V: Director’s Cut as well. There’s been no official announcement yet, but we’ll likely be hearing something soon.
Moss will ship Raiden IV x Mikado Remix on April 22 in Japan. View a trailer for the game here.
