Samurai Shodown

Samurai Showdown will have a third Season Pass, SNK announced during a Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable live stream today. Specifics regarding upcoming characters were not revealed.

Samurai Shodown Season Pass 2 featured Mina Majikina, Sogetsu Kazama, Iroha, and Warden. Gongsun Li from Honor of Kings is also coming up as a free DLC character on August 5.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have updated with the latest Wild Area event. Players can now encounter Water and Ground-type Pokemon in the various dens. You’ll be able to battle the likes of Gigantamax Sandaconda, Drednaw and more.

There’s no word yet on when the event ends, but it should last a good while.

This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta play a game of trying to guess the prices of different items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Check out the full episode below.

A few new elements were added with the latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons update, including the dream feature. Players can now upload their islands online that can be visited by others via dreams. Although nothing is permanent while visiting in a dream, it’s another way to share what you’ve created with others.

Something to keep in mind is that, based on user reports, Nintendo is being serious when it comes to taking down islands involving cheating or hacking in any manner. Any behavior the company doesn’t condone – even if it’s only used for decorative purposes – will still be removed.

Here’s a look at one email a player received:
