The lineup of LEGO games on Switch is expanding next week with LEGO Worlds. Warner Bros. is publishing the game on September 5.

If you plan on downloading the game, you’ll need 2.0GB of space, according to an eShop listing. You can also purchase a physical copy from retailers as well.

Ubisoft has now come out with a new Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle trailer specifically focusing on Luigi. Watch it below.

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.

As with past entries in the series, a localization seems extremely unlikely, but with the Switch being region-free, you’ll at least be able to easily grab the Japanese version.
