This month’s EDGE review scores are as follows:

Shovel Knight is represented in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – just not as a playable character. Use the Assist Trophy item, and if you’re lucky enough, the character will appear to help you in battle.

Speaking with Fanbyte, Yacht Club Games founder Sean Velasco said that having Shovel Knight playable in Smash Bros. was “never really in the cards.” The studio considered possible moves for him, though it sounds like Nintendo only ever approached the team for its Assist Trophy cameo.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

With the coronavirus becoming a global pandemic, many people are staying inside and self-quarantining in hopes of avoid a further spread of the disease. That means many are turning to entertainment, including video games.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons may not have come at a better time. Speaking with The Verge, producer Hisashi Nogami said that he’s “very disheartened and saddened by the events happening across the world”, but Nintendo is hoping that “a lot of the Animal Crossing fans will use this as an escape, so they can enjoy themselves during this difficult time.”

Nogami’s full words:

Nightdive Studios announced this week that it’s bringing back the 1997 point-and-click adventure game. Later this year, it’ll be returning on Switch.

Collectors can now rest easy knowing that a physical version is in the pipeline. Limited Run Games confirmed that it has picked up the game for distribution, though no further details have been shared at the moment.

The Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Pack originally came out in Europe and Japan last year. A North American release was later confirmed, but there hasn’t been any news regarding the stateside launch in months. As of today, we finally have a proper news.

Physicality Games, in partnership with video game publishers Arc System Works and Mastiff, will be handling the North American launch exclusively. Pre-orders go live on March 23.

The Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Pack will be available to pre-order in a physical Deluxe Edition format, which includes a physical copy of the game, Guilty Gear-themed steelbook, 3” acrylic standee set including Baiken, Dizzy, and Bridget, and an antique gold-finished commemorative medal celebrating the series’ anniversary and Arc System Works’ 30th anniversary, all housed inside a Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Pack-themed Collector’s Tin with a clear display window.
