Nintendo has returned with a new piece of music for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Today’s track is Guile Stage, which originates from Street Fighter II.

Yuzo Koshiro is responsible for the new arrangement. Koshiro has worked on a ton of soundtracks throughout his career, including the Streets of Rage series.

We have today’s music piece below.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai normally doesn’t tweet in English, but he made the rare exception today. A pair of messages address the DLC situation surrounding the Switch game.

Sakurai confirmed that the DLC lineup for Smash Bros. Ultimate is complete and the selection was done entirely by Nintendo. With Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, you may recall that a ballot was held so that fan feedback could be collected in determining how to proceed with certain characters.

Defiant Development has confirmed that new DLC is live for Hand of Fate 2… in some parts of the world at least. Switch owners in Europe have access to Outlands and Outsiders & The Servant and the Beast right now. Players in North America can get their hands on the content starting November 9.

Also note that there is also a free update this week for everyone. The Goblin Faction, Shadow Faction and Combat Reforged add-on packs will be made available at no extra cost.

Pokemon GO is continuing to perform strongly. Sensor Tower reports that in October, the game earned roughly $73 million in gross revenue worldwide across the App Store and Google Play.

Just how good was that? Well, Pokemon GO “only” earned $43.6 million last October, meaning there was a 67% increase. Pokemon GO also sat at the #8 spot for revenue among all apps on both stores worldwide as well as #7 among mobile games.

Best Buy may soon be giving fans an opportunity to try out Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a much more expansive fashion. While the retailer did hold demo events at select stores several weeks ago, we’re hearing that a widely-available version could be appearing as early as this week.

Twitter user ChaseJ_T spotted Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at a Best Buy demo kiosk earlier today. Best Buy’s official account even chimed in with a reply, stating: “The cat is out of the bag.”

We’re a month out from Smash Bros. Ultimate, so it’d definitely make sense for a new demo to start making the rounds at retailers. Keep an eye out on your local store for a possible appearance in the near future.

Diablo III Eternal Collection

Digital Foundry published a new tech analysis for Diablo III – Eternal Collection on Switch today. We learn more about the game’s resolution, frame rate, and more.

Diablo III’s final docked resolution mostly sits at 900p. This can decrease though, with Digital Foundry recording 1344×756 – usually during high action with many effects. Portable resolution tends to sit at the native 720p, but it can drop to 960×540.
