Last night, NBA 2K18 cover star Kyrie Irving was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics. That had obviously implications for 2K Sports.

As for how the publisher is handling the situation, 2K says that the company “will issue a version of 2K18 featuring Kyrie in a Boston Celtics uniform at a later date.” The full statement reads:

“We are excited to be part of one of the most memorable NBA offseasons in history with Kyrie, our 2K18 cover athlete, and Isaiah, one of the stars of our 2K roster, trading places. This isn’t an unprecedented event, a cover athlete being traded – but it’s certainly interesting timing with 2K18 being released in less than a month. The good news is that as the most authentic and realistic basketball game on the market, we’re used to being nimble and responding to changes in the NBA. Fans should be thrilled to know that we will issue a version of 2K18 featuring Kyrie in a Boston Celtics uniform at a later date.”

Pokken Tournament DX

Play limits were a thing on Wii U and 3DS, but we haven’t really seen anything similar on Switch – until now. In the Pokken Tournament demo, those who have downloaded the Japanese version have found that a 15 battle limit is included. It sounds like once you’ve hit that number, the demo doesn’t let you play any further.

… Or does it? We downloaded the Japanese Pokken Tournament demo and played through a couple of battles. We were then told that 13 were remaining. After deleting the demo data from Switch’s system settings and redownloading from the eShop, the counter reset to 15.

Super Mario Odyssey was featured during Nintendo’s Gamescom live stream earlier today. Towards the end of the first demo with producer Yoshiaki Koizumi, we’re able to see the name of another kingdom. That’s none other than the Seaside Kingdom.

It’s likely that we’ve already seen the Seaside Kingdom, though only very briefly. It’s likely where we see Mario capturing a Cheep Cheep in the trailer from E3.

Thanks to LukasManak for the tip.
