New York Comic-Con begins today and runs through the weekend. Resident Evil Revelations Collection is due out on November 28 for Switch.

As things stand now, the Switch version of FIFA 18 has a notable omission. The game currently lacks a way of connecting with friends online. If you’re hoping to challenge a buddy through the internet, the only hope you have is by some matchmaking miracle.

Unfortunately, EA isn’t saying much about the situation. When Eurogamer asked why FIFA 18 has no support for online friend battles, the company merely stated:

“FIFA 18 on Switch offers Local Seasons allowing friends to play against each other across two consoles in close proximity to one another, and we encourage those looking to compete online to take advantage of online modes on Switch including FIFA Ultimate Team, Online Seasons, and Online Tournaments.”

So that’s that. If you want to play against a friend in FIFA 18 on Switch, your best bet is doing so locally.

As a way of promoting Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo is planning a cross-country tour across the United States. Those who stop by one of the five locations will have the chance to meet the Mario costumed character, take photos with him and his trailer, and get hands-on time with the game.

While Nintendo has five specific locations lined up, Mario will also be making some stops to sightsee and take photos. Each of these special stops are inspired by Kingdoms in Super Mario Odyssey. Nintendo will be sharing photos on its social media accounts, such as when Mario visits big cities as a reference to the Metro Kingdom.

Below are the main locations Nintendo is planning for its tour:

The latest Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Twitter update is about the “Button Challenge” system. When a Blade performs a special move, pressing the correct buttons shown on screen will increase the power of that move. There’s also a narrator who gives comments based on the success of your button presses. Check out the video in the tweet below that shows the system in action:

ブレイドが必殺技を繰り出すと、「ボタンチャレンジ」が発生しますも。タイミング良くボタンを押せばダメージがアップ！
しかも成功すると、どこかから聞こえるナゾのナレーション（ボイス：利根健太朗さん）に、めちゃくちゃほめてもらえますも。悪い気はしないはずですも。 pic.twitter.com/1caaPMyOxc
