As part of the new Minecraft DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the game is getting a new stage. Known as “Minecraft World”, it’s more than just a simple level as it actually supports a few different biomes.
Six different areas are supported: plains, birch forest, savanna, taiga, snowy tundra, and stone shore. If you want to ensure that you start off with a particular biome, you simply need to input a few commands on the stage select screen and selecting Minecraft World. We have a look at the different instructions above.

GamesIndustry is reporting today that “Level-5 appears to have all but shuttered its North American operations.” Having spoken with “multiple sources familiar with the matter”, the site says that Level-5 International America and Level-5 Abby began winding down operations in mid-2019, “part of which included laying off the majority of both offices’ staff.”
Level-5 continues to conduct almost all of its business in Japan, though it’s unknown what the status is of future localizations. A source that spoke with GamesIndustry claims that “there were currently no concrete plans for any more Level-5 games to be released outside of Japan.”
Yo-kai Watch 4 was announced for western release in July 2019. However, there have been no official updates since then regarding a localized version for North America and Europe.
