Here’s the full roundup of information:

After it was just released a short while ago, footage for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s latest character, Piranha Plant, is already popping up online. We have videos showcasing gameplay below, including Palutena’s Guidance, Kirby’s transformation, and more.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Nintendo recently sent out word that an update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be arriving soon. The patch has now officially gone live, bringing the game up to version 2.0.0.

The big highlight of today’s update is the arrival of Piranha Plant. Spirit Board now supports four players, fighters have been adjusted, and more. Full patch notes below.

Splatoon 2

As was announced earlier today, a new update has gone live for Splatoon 2. The game is now at version 4.4.0.

Today’s update includes various changes pertaining to Kelp Dome, weapons, and more. We have the full official patch notes below.

Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 launches on April 23. If you’re in Europe, however, that might be a different story.

There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding Mortal Kombat 11’s Switch launch in Europe. We’ve been trying to hold off on posting about it until Warner Bros. comments on the situation, but thus far, they haven’t done so. In the meantime, a number of retailers have come forward listing a May 10 release date – including the Nintendo UK store. The Switch version of Mortal Kombat 11 is still on track for April 23 in the states, though for whatever reason, that doesn’t appear to be the case for PAL regions.

Pre-orders are open for Mortal Kombat 11 on the Nintendo UK store here. Bundles with Pixel Pals Lamps are also available.
