Switch

At the Splatoon Koshien 2019 tournament earlier today, Nintendo made a couple of new announcements for Splatoon 2.

As it turns out, the game isn’t quite finished adding new content. It’s been announced that more weapons are coming soon, which will be a part of Sheldon’s Picks. You can get a look at them above. Nintendo is also planning another update, but hasn’t elaborated on the details.

Team Sonic Racing

This week’s issue of Famitsu provides an update on Team Sonic Racing. There’s only a little bit new, but we do learn about a previously-unannounced track: Doctor’s Mine. The track is said to be a wide stage where you don’t really have to worry about falling off, and there are plenty of jumps and tunnels that make for a high speed race.

Famitsu also goes over the recently-revealed Team Eggman. Metal Sonic is a speed type, Zavok is a power type, and Eggman is a technique type. They also tease the possibility of Dodonpa being somehow related to Team Eggman.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, a lengthy interview was published with Masahiro Sakurai. The magazine has several pages touching on a wide variety of topics with the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director. Sakurai weighed in on the lack of certain playable characters like representatives from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and ARMS, explained why Incineroar was chosen over Decidueye, spoke about Piranha Plant, talked about specific character changes such as giving Ganondorf a sword, online play, and more.

We’ve prepared a complete translate of Sakurai’s interview with Nintendo Dream. You can read it in full below.

A new listing on the USK indicates that TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is in development for Switch. While not an official announcement, it’s a sign that Bigben has plans to bring the racer over to Nintendo’s console.
