We received Super Bomberman R from Konami today. We’ve sort of seen the game case previously, but now we have a final look – including an image inside the North American case with the cartridge.

Our Super Bomberman R review is coming soon. Dennis is working hard on Zelda: Breath of the Wild so hitting launch is unlikely, though we’ll deliver our verdict as soon as we can.

Nintendo has been advertising Switch in various away over the past couple of months. We can all likely agree that the company’s biggest effort was the commercial shown during the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. Aside from the advert shown during the big game, Nintendo is marketing Switch in other various ways. It appears that commercials are even airing in movie theaters at the moment.

This actually isn’t the first time Nintendo has advertised at the movies. Many years ago, Donkey Kong Country Returns received similar treatment way back in the day.

This week’s issue of Famitsu will obviously have a ton of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild content – but it also has the special artwork you see above, which features the original Link from the first Legend of Zelda game handing over the Master Sword of Resurrection to the current Link from Breath of the Wild. This celebrates the 30-year history of the series as well as the connection between those two games specifically, which have a focus on an open world and a freedom to choose where to go and what to do at any time.
