Very few properties can say they have a long running series that have delivered such a wide array of genres for decades much like Dragon Ball has. Akira Toriyama’s magnum opus spans countless generations throughout a multitude of mediums, each with their own twist and flavor to appeal to just about anyone out there with an interest in Dragon Ball. From fighting games, to RPGs, to strategy games and beyond, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission now builds upon that roster of titles by introducing Japan’s number one digital card game for years to the western market at last and makes it accessible at the comfort of your own home and on the go.

Nintendo and Camelot have released a major update for Mario Tennis Aces, continuing the game’s support nearly a year later. The latest version is 3.0.0.

Ring Shot mode has been added as something entirely new to the game. You can battle against opponents while trying to pass the ball through rings and wrack up your score. Yoshi’s Ring Shot is available as well, and is being featured in the Co-op Challenge mode. Finally, there’s a new opening movie in the game’s story mode.

The Art of Splatoon 2, which released in Japan back in November 2017, is finally coming west. Listings on Amazon reveal that the book will be made available in North America and Europe later in the year.

Here’s an overview of The Art of Splatoon 2, which features nearly 400 pages of material:

Trials Rising

Ubisoft has issued a new update for Trials Rising on Switch. With version 1.0.3, the game has implemented a number of improvements and fixes.

Below are the full patch notes:

Since the Switch’s launch two years ago, a few companies have become associated with porting games to the system. One such example is Virtuos. Virtuos has helped bring over L.A. Noire, Dark Souls Remastered, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and more.

Speaking with EDGE last month, Virtuos Shanghai general manager Elijah Freeman said that the studio’s games have done “exceptionally well” – not only critically, but also commercially. Freeman added that the success has led to more opportunities, and believes things will pick up even more after Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster launch on Switch.

A physical version of Redeemer: Enhanced Edition was announced for Switch last month. Now thanks to Amazon UK we have a look at the boxart. Check out the packaging image above.
