Shoji Meguro has left Atlus and is now an independent composer, the company has announced. The move officially went into effect as of the end of September.

A new 1.3.0 update has just gone out for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. For the most part, it’s all about preparing for the big Guardian of Remembrance DLC.
As a reminder, the new DLC is going live on October 29. It comes with new playable characters, additional stages, and new story sequences. Purah & Robbie have been confirmed as a duo character, though oddly the identity of the other one has not been revealed. In any case, the new story involves the Battle for Kakariko Village, Battle of Goponga village, and more with players being able to learn more about the Champions and the mysterious Guardian. You’ll be able to see how the Coliseum and Lanayru Road looked 100 years in the past, along with other iconic locations in brand-new story stages.

Pikmin Bloom is the new mobile app made by Pokemon GO developer Niantic, which was announced in partnership with Nintendo back in March. The game involves going on daily walks to find seedlings, plucking Pikmin from seedlings after they grow, feeding them nectar and collecting their petals to plant them later on, and more.

It’s been more than two weeks since the launch of Metroid Dread, and while the hype has settled down a little, I imagine that now’s a good time to analyze the game in a more grounded perspective. I decided to put Dread to the ultimate test: is it better than Super Metroid? It made sense to think about them in this way since Super Metroid is still the most acclaimed entry in the series and it is often used as a reference for a good Metroid game.
