Various enemies will be included in Splatoon 2’s Hero Mode. Nintendo showed off one such type today with a brief animated GIF.

When you stumble upon this enemy, which roughly goes by the name Octoller, it’ll quickly run away. However, before it does so, it’ll drop off a Splat Bomb.

Here’s a quick look at the enemy in action:

Update: WWG has now posted the full piece of art:

Original: The first piece of art has leaked from Ubisoft and Nintendo’s upcoming collaboration game for Switch, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Twitter user FatalFlowey posted the image that shows one Rabbid wearing a Princess Peach outfit.

Earlier this month, Kotaku reported that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle would be launching in August or September. The site also mentioned having seen art featuring “Mario and crew wielding guns that shoot laser beams.” We can confirm that the image above is a small section of that asset.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is apparently being build with Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine. The game is said to be including turn-based combat, two-player local co-op, and a “goofy sense of humor,” according to Kotaku’s article.

The retro-style controller company 8Bitdo has launched a firmware update for their wireless controllers that makes them compatible with Switch. So now we can buy a wireless SNES controller from them and use it to play Ultra Street Fighter II, for example.

These will be a really great addition for when Nintendo releases their plans for Virtual Console on Switch. Keep in mind that these controllers can also be used with Windows, Mac, Steam, iOS and the NES Classic Edition if we have the right cable.

Though we know that ARMS is a game that will heavily feature the motion control possibilities of Switch’s Joy-Con, Nintendo already revealed that there will be different control schemes with different controllers.

Nintendo Life has translated the five different control schemes that are already available at the Japanese ARMS’ website so that we can check out how it will be possible to manage without motion controls and with a Pro controller, for example.
