Dragon Ball FighterZ

Earlier today, we heard that the online beta for Dragon Ball FighterZ will be held next week in Japan. Bandai Namco has followed up with details for the west.

The beta can be pre-loaded now in Europe, and will be up later today in North America. It will then be going live on August 10 in all major regions (evening of August 9 on the West Coast).

Here’s the full rundown of the beta’s schedule from Bandai Namco:

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze originally came out in 2014. Yet four years later, one player has uncovered a Metroid Easter egg in the game.

Shane Marchis is the person who made the discovery. The Metroid can be found in Amiss Abyss, though it can be somewhat easy to miss.

Arc System Works published a new wave of details and screenshots for Wizard’s Symphony today. We learn more about Feline Sora and Nina Lazydaisy, along with a few different systems. Find everything rounded up below, courtesy of Gematsu.

Broken Sword 5: the Serpent’s Curse is coming to Switch, ‬Revolution Software and Ravenscourt announced today. The adventure game will be coming to Nintendo’s console worldwide on September 21.

On Switch, Broken Sword 5 will include behind the scenes movies that can be unlocked as play progresses. These clips “reveal the story and the development process behind the game, through previously unreleased interviews with the Broken Sword team.” Joy-Con and touch screen play are both supported.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

The online beta for Dragon Ball FighterZ on Switch will start next week, Bandai Namco has announced. In Japan, it’s set to take place between August 10 at 1 PM until August 12 at 4 PM.

When the beta starts, 23 characters will be available. You’ll also be able to use a new Extreme Type controls method.

You can download the app for the Dragon Ball FighterZ beta from the Japanese eShop now. It takes up 3.1GB of space.

A few new video clips have popped up for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. The full set, posted below, show Venusaur, Electrode, Onix, Caterpie, and Golem following the trainer.

Octopath Traveler has managed to reach a major milestone. The RPG has shipped one million copies worldwide, Nintendo and Square Enix have announced. That figure is based on shipments and eShop downloads.

The next Splatfest has been announced for Splatoon 2 in Japan. Players will be asked about what they prefer: Meiji Mushroom Mountain or Meiji Bamboo Shoot Field. As you can see, this is a sponsored food Splatfest.

The new Splatfest will run during the weekend of August 18.
