System: Switch
Release date: August 29, 2017
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger turnabout regarding the reception of a game than I have with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. When the first major leak regarding Ubisoft’s newest Nintendo crossover game happened, the general reaction was one of confusion and general displeasure. That was the case up until Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference in June, where Mario + Rabbids was finally unveiled in full with the help of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto himself. That, compounded with a truly heartwarming moment from the game’s creative director Davide Soliani and the overall presentation of the game, quickly garnered new feelings of excitement and hope that Mario + Rabbids was something to look forward to. So, after months of anticipation, is Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle able to keep that feeling of hope and excitement alive, or does it leave us wishing the Rabbids would have just stayed home?

Nintendo has been on a roll with ARMS rankings as of late. Within the past week, we’ve heard about fighters who have been used the most and characters who have the highest win rates.

Nintendo’s latest rankings are based on the top 3 percent of super skilled players. Determined by win rate, first place is awarded to Max Brass, the (current) newest character on the ARMS roster. Helix is second, and Byte & Barq followed in third place.

It’s interesting to see the fighters advanced players use. It sounds like if you want to be at the top, Max Brass might be your best bet.

First, Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase is listed for September 20 on the eShop. Other retailers like Best Buy and GameStop list it for September 26. The same goes for GameFly, which is often spot on with its listings.

If you’re playing Splatoon 2 online with friends, you can’t chat just with the Switch itself. Nintendo set up that the system so that a separate Nintendo Switch Online app is required. LAN play, however, is another story.

Splatoon 2 released several weeks ago. Despite that, one piece of information is making the rounds today. It turns out that when playing the game through LAN, voice chat is built-in.

You’ll be able to hear friends in lobbies and while playing Salmon Run. Other multiplayer gameplay doesn’t feature voice chat since you’re on separate teams. It sounds like as long as you have a headset with a mic included, voice chat is possible without any extras.
