Pokken Tournament DX

Pokken Tournament DX’s new update has gone live. Version 1.2.0 has just started distribution.

Oddly, Nintendo’s patch notes only make mention of a couple of things. Compatibility with Battle Pack Wave 1 has been added, along with support for video capture.

At least for now, the patch notes don’t cover any of the many balance changes. We’ll add them in here if Nintendo shares the details, but for the time being, we’ve included the unofficial translation below.

The latest episode of Nintendo’s Japanese show Nyannyan Neko Mario Time has now gone live. We’ve included it below.

Nintendo just published a new Japanese trailer for Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch. Find the video attached below.

Last month, we reported the GBA game Gekido Kintaro’s Revenge would be coming to the Switch. At that time, we weren’t sure when to expect the game, other than it was “coming soon.” Today on Twitter, Naps Team‏ revealed that Gekido Kintaro’s Revenge will be ready for release Q1 2018.

We have a handful of new screenshots showing off Bayonetta and its sequel on Switch. Get a look at the images in the gallery below.

If you’re interested in watching video content on Switch, you don’t have a whole lot of options at present. But there is Hulu, as the app started distribution last November.

As part of a new Reddit AMA, SVP of Experience at Hulu Ben Smith commented on bringing the service to Switch. One interesting point mentioned is that the company is looking into adding touch support, which is something users have requested.

Those who purchase Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap at launch will receive a few goodies. Along with the game itself, Nicalis is including an instruction booklet, a soundtrack sampler, and PVC strap.

Kirby isn’t the only series HAL Laboratory is known for. Over the past few years, the company has created a series of BoxBoy! games. Even its main character Qbby received an amiibo – well, in Japan at least.

As a nod to its past works, Kirby Star Allies has a special cameo. Those with preview access have discovered that Qbby can be found in the game.

The Hotel Transylvania game picks up where Hotel Transylvania 3 leaves off. Drac’s Pack find themselves washed overboard and lost on mysterious islands. Players will need to “rescue their favorite monster friends from fearsome enemies, discover lovable new allies with amazing abilities, and push their puzzle-solving skills to the limit to find their friends and the magic compass needed to get back to Hotel Transylvania.”
