There’s been a lot of talk surrounding Minecraft Steve’s addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate over the past week, but not necessarily due to his actual inclusion in the game. A lot has been made of the character’s original win screen. Due to the placement of the meat, some have felt it was suggestive. Nintendo ultimately made a change with last night’s 9.0.1 patch.

Before the change was made, Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo actually asked Xbox boss Phil Spencer about the victory screen. Of course, Microsoft owns the Minecraft IP.

Here’s the full exchange:

Inti Creates has released a massive patch for Dragon Marked for Death. Version 3.1.3n has tons of changes for characters, quests, and more.

Original: Nintendo announced a new 9.0.1 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate yesterday, and it has now gone live. All players can access today’s patch now.

We’re still waiting on today’s patch notes, but today’s adjustments pretty much all come down to the game’s newest DLC character, Steve/Alex. Among them is a change in one of the fighter’s win screens. There’s been a lot of talk about it being a bit suggestive, so Nintendo decided to implement a change.

Here’s a look at the new screen:

Pokemon Sword/Shield

The saga of Nintendo leaks has been ongoing for several months now, and a new development has apparently taken place with the latest Pokemon entries – Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. We’re hearing reports that debug files are starting to spread online.

The full contents of these files will be parsed through in the coming days. Nothing overly interesting has come to light thus far, but early screenshots have been posted online, which are worth a look alone.
