Starlight Nintendo Switch Gaming Station

It was around this time last year that Starlight Children’s Foundation and Nintendo unveiled the Starlight Nintendo Switch Gaming Station. We now have a follow-up as these units are starting to make their way to hospitals and health care facilities across the United States.

Each station has 25 games pre-loaded, including Super Mario Party and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s important to note that they have been “manufactured to meet strict infection safety protocols” and can be rolled anywhere in the hospital.

Masahiro Sakurai

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai published his latest Famitsu column this week. Given that Sephiroth just joined the game as the latest DLC character, it makes sense that the piece was entirely about the new roster addition.

Sakurai’s column offers insight into how Sephiroth was implemented, including the challenges involved and his “Winged Form”. He also briefly touches on the game’s reveal trailer.
