For the past several months, there have been ongoing rumors of Persona 5 for Switch. We haven’t covered them here because there’s been all sorts of information floating around about when it would be announced and whether or not it was real.

As first discovered earlier today, Nintendo has updated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Version 2.0.2 is out now.

According to an in-game notice, support has been added for the Daisy, Young Link, and Ken amiibo figures. You’ll need the patch in order to participate in online play. Replay compatibility is supported with version 2.0.1 and version 2.0.0, but not 1.2.1 and earlier.

Nintendo has announced the latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event. This week, the theme is “Cruisin’ for a Bruisin'” where boxer-esque characters will be appearing. Defeating them will give you more gold than usual.

The Spirit Board event should kick off on Friday. Look for it to last a few days as usual.

We’ve included a pre-order trailer for Bubsy: Paws On Fire! below.
