Switch

Early next week, SEGA Genesis Classics will be making its way to Switch. Take a look at a bunch of footage showing off the collection below.

Rad Rodgers for Switch might be one of THQ Nordic’s worst-kept secrets right now. A number of signs have pointed to its release over the past few months, including listings on GameFly and the ESRB.

Adding to that is another listing, this time coming from Amazon Canada. The retailer even shows the game’s boxart. Based on Amazon’s accurate history as well as the packaging image (not to mention GameFly and ESRB’s listings), it’s pretty much safe to assume at this point that Rad Rodgers will be coming to Switch. It’s just a matter of when, and when THQ Nordic will make an announcement.

Nintendo shipped Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Switch’s launch in 2017. Hyrule Warriors, another Zelda-themed title, was added to the system’s library earlier this year. This streak may continue in the future, as Eurogamer claims that “Nintendo is keen to have a Zelda game launch on Switch every year.”

The company has many possibilities at its disposal going forward. Last weekend, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma seemingly teased Skyward Sword for Switch. Nintendo could also bring over the Wii U versions of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. There also hasn’t been a new 2D Zelda in awhile, and we’re bound to get another 3D entry at some point – just not next year.

Meanwhile, a lot has been made about a recent comment from Game Informer editor Imran Khan who said on a podcast that “the next Zelda will probably be sooner than we think.”

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

When Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai announced the World of Light mode for the game, he made it clear that it’s not quite like Subspace Emissary from Brawl. But after showing the intro, some fans might have unrealistic expectations as to how many cutscenes will be present. Nintendo Treehouse’s JC Rodrigo recently clarified to Game Informer that there will be a few cutscenes, “but it’s really more on focusing on the loot grind, and that flow of getting Spirits.”

Rodrigo stated the following about World of Light:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will give out a small bonus if you own Pokemon: Let’s Go. If you have Pikachu save data, you’ll be provided with the Partner Pikachu Spirit. Eevee save data will net you the Partner Eevee Spirit.

Fortunately, both can be accessed normally as well. Complete challenges and they’ll be yours, even without save data.

Update (12/1): We’ve added the full patch notes below.


Original (11/29): The next big update for Kirby Star Allies has gone live. Nintendo and HAL Laboratory just started distribution of version 4.0.0.

Today’s update adds The Three Mage Sisters, Susie, Magalor, and Taranza as new Dream Friends. Heroes in Another Dimension is also in as a new mode. We’ll add in the full patch notes here once Nintendo publishes them.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and its standalone Torna expansion received unexpected updates last night. Out of nowhere, Nintendo and Monolith Soft added the Massive Melee Mythra outfit to the game. This is the costume Mythra wears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Spirit.

Unfortunately, it might not be immediately clear as to how players can obtain the outfit. We do have some additional details as well as footage that gives more precise instructions.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is less than two months away from launching on Switch. Like other Nintendo titles, there will be an offer for My Nintendo members.

Those who pre-order New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on the eShop by January 13 will receive double the Gold Points. The extra points will be added to your account by January 18.

Keep in mind that you can’t actually pre-load just yet, as it sounds like this will begin on December 11. Also, while the offer has technically only been confirmed for Europe thus far, it should be extended to North America as well since that’s been the case with every similar My Nintendo pre-order bonus.
