If you happen to reach the ending of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, something interesting will happen. It’s tough to go into any sort of detail without spoiling anything, but what players see was enough for Kotaku to ask director Suda51 about it.

He shared the following comment:

Last week, we posted a translation of a column from Sonic the Hedgehog series sound designer Tomoya Ohtani in which he spoke about working on some Splatoon music from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Sonic Team sound director Jun Senoue had his own contribution having worked on a new Mega Man 4 medley.

Why did Senoue go with Mega Man for his music piece? He discussed that and more in his own column, which we now have a translation of as well. You can read it in full below.

Announced earlier this week, the Xenoblade 2 Official Artworks Alrest Record is releasing in Japan in the very near future. The book spans over 300 pages, covering the main game and the Torna expansion. Fans will be able to pour over concept art for the characters, Blades, enemies, weapons, items, landscapes, and more.

Play-Asia has opened pre-orders for the Xenoblade 2 Official Artworks Alrest Record here. It’s due out on February 2 in Japan. Currently, a release in the west has not been announced.

We’ve seen some folks asking about the status of Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age in Europe. Fortunately, just like in North America and Japan, both will be seeing a physical release in the region. Amazon UK actually started taking pre-orders for both this week here.

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster launches for Switch on April 16. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age follows on April 30.

We recently came across an interesting LinkedIn profile from a former staffer at Soleil, the developer behind Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. We won’t name this person here in order to protect their identity, but the CV mentions two unannounced projects for Switch. The staffer served as an environment artist on one of these games, and a lead environment artist on the other title.

Soleil has ties to Valhalla Game Studios, the team behind Devil’s Third on Wii U. The company was also responsible for Devil’s Third Online aside from Naruto to Boruto. Thus far, Soleil hasn’t announced or released any Switch games.

New DLC has been announced for Fate/Extella Link. In addition to Attila Larva as the latest character, more chibi PuniPuni models will be added.

Nintendo has started to update its maintenance schedule for the coming days. It’s looking like another quiet week so far, with just one session planned.

The current schedule is as follows:

This past week, Bandai Namco finally confirmed Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission for the west. The game will be distributed in North America and Europe alongside the previously-announced Japanese version.

We actually already know that Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission will be sold physically overseas. Amazon is taking pre-orders here and Amazon UK has it here. We have the boxart above as well.

Warner Bros. has passed along a fact sheet that provides more details about The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame. We also have a new set of screenshots as well.
