We have a massive amount of art for Paper Mario: The Origami King showcasing the various characters in the game. A few of these we’ve shared previously, but they were in much smaller resolution.

Here’s the full set:

Paper Mario: The Origami King is available now on Switch.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

In a recent interview with Famitsu, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night creator Koji Igarashi reiterated interest in turning the IP into a series. However, he stressed the importance of wanting to “take my time and do things right.”

Igarashi also spoke about interest in working on something else entirely. While he didn’t give anything away regarding what sort of game ideas he could pursue, he’d want to develop “something a little more challenging if I were to create something brand new.”

Here’s our full translation of the interview excerpt:

Metroid fans have been waiting a long time for Metroid Prime 4, and it seems that the game is still pretty far out. When Nintendo made the original announcement at E3 2017, there wasn’t much to see. We were just given a logo… and that’s basically it. It’s more than likely that development hadn’t reached a point where Nintendo felt comfortable showing anything from the game itself.

The big blow concerning Metroid Prime 4 came at the start of 2019. It was never officially confirmed which developer was working on the project, but Nintendo decided to scrap everything that had been done up to that point and have Retro Studios take over. It was definitely not a bad idea to have the original Metroid Prime team lead development, but that meant fans would be forced to wait even longer for a proper look at the game, let alone the actual launch.

There’s very little that we know about Metroid Prime 4. As we wait for a proper update, now’s the time to think about what we’d like to see from the game. It should be a first-person adventure, but everything else is on the table. Is there a certain direction you’d like to see Retro take with Metroid Prime 4? Do you have any particular gameplay mechanics in mind? Let us know in the comments below.

Journey to the Savage Planet players on Switch can now get their hands on new Hot Garbage DLC for the game. There’s a new area to explore, new upgrades, and more.

Here’s a proper rundown of the DLC, along with a trailer:

The Art of Shantae

When we recently posted about The Art of Shantae, the book’s cover wasn’t available. That has since changed following an update on Amazon. You can check it out above.

Pre-orders for The Art of Shantae are up on Amazon here. There’s currently a $5 discount on reservations. We’ll also mention that pre-orders have since opened on Amazon ($10.57 discount) and Amazon UK (no discount).

The Art of Shantae is tentatively planned for release on December 1.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

EA has confirmed that it has a number of games in the works for Switch, and one of those projects has rumored to be Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. Now we’re one step closer to an announcement, as the title has been listed on Amazon UK. Unfortunately, the retailer doesn’t have any actual details aside from a tentative November 13 release date.

EA recently said it would be bringing seven games to Switch over the next year. Two of these titles are Burnout Paradise Remastered and Apex Legends while Lost in Random and FIFA 21 Legacy Edition should also be a part of the lineup. Aside from Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, Velan Studios debut title and Plants vs. Zombies Battle for Neighborville are thought to be the other upcoming Switch games from EA.

Ninjala

GungHo has issued a statement regarding players who are involved with mid-match idling and unsportsmanlike behavior in Ninjala.

According to the company, this “ruins the balance of battle and can have an extremely adverse effect on the fairness of the matching system”. It ultimately is a violation of the game’s terms of service, GungHo said.

Those that are idling or participating in unsportsmanlike behavior may face severe action. Bans could be handed out and accounts may be suspended.

Here’s the full statement from GungHo:
