Valiant Hearts

Ubisoft will soon be bringing Valiant Hearts: The Great War to Switch. Ahead of its launch – which is just a few days away – we have some screenshots of how the game looks on Nintendo’s console. Hit up the gallery below for images.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War will be available November 8 on Switch.

Arc System Works has issued a new patch for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. Version 1.31 is out now for all players.

With the latest update, Arc System Works has tackled one issue in particular and made a couple of changes. We have the full patch notes below.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun finally debuted in the west this week. For a lengthy look at the game, check out the footage below.

Kirby Star Allies

One of the elements in Kirby Star Allies that might be easy to glance over is the game’s menu skits. Players can watch a variety of skits while looking at the title, file select, and mode select menus. What you may not be aware of is the work that went into creating them.

This week, Tatsuya Kamiyama gave some insight into how the skits – of which there are 82 patterns – were created. Read what the developer had to say on the subject below.

Bethesda’s Pete Hines had quite a few interesting things to say about Switch during a panel at PAX Aus 2018 last week. We already heard Hines mentioning that the company is considering the console for its games in almost every case, but he actually had much more to say about Nintendo’s platform.

Hines first spoke about Switch support in general and why the publisher has been putting as many games as it has on the platform thus far. The big takeaway is that the primary reason for the lack of Bethesda support on Nintendo platforms in the past was simply due to tech specs. For Switch, what the system is capable matched up fairly well with what Bethesda is doing and the developers have allowed for these games to happen.

A Nintendo Direct for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rolled right in and aired earlier this week. Nintendo pretty much filled in the blanks on some of the uncertainties surrounding the game. The last initial characters were revealed, DLC was confirmed, the Spirits mode was detailed, we got a first look at the new Adventure Mode: World of Light, and more. There was a lot that was discussed in the end, so this recap should come in handy if you want to get a quick reminder on everything shown.

Now that we mostly know about everything surrounding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, how is everyone feeling about the game? Did this week’s Nintendo Direct get you more hyped or were you disappointed? What do you think about the final characters that were announced? If you have any thoughts about the new Smash Bros., be sure to share them with us in the comments below.

XSEED announced this week that Fate/Extella Link is coming to North America in Q1 2019. Better yet, it’ll be accompanied by a special release. Amazon is taking pre-orders for the Fleeting Glory Limited Edition here.

The limited edition comes with a few extra goodies. Fans will be given the game, a soundtrack CD, a pack of 10 collectible cards depicting each of the new Servants, a cloth poster, and an acrylic diorama all housed in a custom box.

If limited editions aren’t your thing, you can also pre-order a standard copy of Fate/Extella Link on Switch here.

Nintendo Live 2018 is happening in Tokyo this weekend, with another event to follow in Kyoto later in the month. Nintendo is offering playable demos, hosting a variety of tournaments, and more.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai actually stopped by earlier today and mainly showed off the Classic and Spirits modes in a 22-minute presentation. We have the recording of that below, along with a ton of additional footage.

More footage is in from the updated demo build of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Below we have a look at all alternate costumes in the game (including alternate colors).
