It took Nintendo a couple of months, but we finally found out when Super Mario Maker 2 will be launching this week. While a June launch had been previously confirmed, a specific date was not announced. We now know that it’ll be available worldwide on June 28.

In light of this week’s news, the official website has updated. The Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Mario Maker have been pushed away, and it has now become a teaser site for Super Mario Maker 2. You can access the page here. There isn’t much to see much at present aside from a trailer and old screenshots, but the site will undoubtedly update with a bunch of content soon.

That trend continues on Switch with Cytus Alpha – a re-imagining of one of mobile’s most enjoyable and highest grossing games.

Earlier in the week, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was updated to version 1.6.0. As we know, the main highlight was the addition of Nintendo Labo VR Kit support. However, that apparently wasn’t all, as we’re hearing that performance was improved.

Entering Shrines appears to have received a noticeable improvement. Comparisons indicate that loading was reduced by as much as five seconds.

Over on the official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account, Sothis from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is introduced. She’s voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa in the Japanese version.

However, only the protagonist can see her. Sothis lost her memories, and although she may look like a little girl, she speaks more like an old woman.

Here’s a brief clip for Sothis:
