Those who purchase FighterZ Pass 3 will get two days of early access to each character. That means with Kefla, you’ll be able to start playing on February 26 instead of February 28.

Sakurai on the creation of Byleth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai wrote up his latest column in the Japanese magazine. Many of his pieces as of late haven’t been related to the Switch game, but seeing as Byleth has now been added, he felt he should publish a few words on the character’s creation.
We published a brief summary of Sakurai’s column a few days ago. Now, however, we have a full translation – which does include some quick mentions of Smash Bros. having too many Fire Emblem characters and sword-users.
Here’s the full piece:
Pre-order Metro Redux for Switch, get the Ranger Cache Pack
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A substantial pre-order bonus has been revealed for Metro Redux on Switch. By reserving the game, players will receive access to the Ranger Cache Pre-order Pack.
The pack comes with a host of physical goodies. It includes a double sided alternate inlay, game case sleeve, pin badge set, double sided art cards, and one A2 double-sided poster.
You can pre-order Metro Redux for Switch on GameStop. It’s also up on Amazon without the bonus, so it’s unclear if this will be a GameStop-exclusive.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Dragon Ball FighterZ getting “Z Assist Select” system, updated UI, more
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
During the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Finals today, new features were unveiled for the fighting game.
One of the upcoming elements players can expect is the “Z Assist Select” system. Producer Tomoko Hiroki explained that it will be possible to choose three Assist Attacks for a character, allowing for “new ways to connect combos and build strategies, giving users a broader way to enjoy fights.”
Hiroki also touched on other changes. Another feature is in the works that will “prevent one sided games caused by specific powerful attacks and combinations as well as adjustments that give users a chance to turn the tables, even if they only have one character left.” That’s on top of an updated UI as well.
Here’s the full rundown from Hiroki:

Soulcalibur VI producer still unsure about a Switch port
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
At the end of 2017, Soulcalibur VI producer Motohiro Okubo was asked about the chances of a Switch port. Okubo was open to the idea as he was interested in Nintendo’s console and said it could be a possibility depending on compatibility with Unreal Engine.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like things have changed since then. Okubo told Soulcalibur Community that the team hasn’t had time to investigate a Switch port as Bandai Namco has been occupied with Season 2 DLC.

Rumor: Nintendo requested Sora for Smash Bros., but Disney didn’t let it happen
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already has five DLC characters, but the fun isn’t stopping there. It was announced last month that another six fighters are set to be delivered by the end of 2021.
There’s always speculation as to who could be joining the game. Sora from Kingdom Hearts is one such character that’s been highly requested by fans, but it has yet to happen. Apparently, that isn’t due to a lack of interest on Nintendo’s part.
