The Dragon Ball FighterZ Show will be starting soon. Bandai Namco will kick off the broadcast at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM in the UK / 8 PM in Europe.
Based on what’s been said, we should be hearing about game updates, including the 2020 competition map. An exclusive trailer will also be showing up – perhaps showing off the next DLC fighter.
You can watch the Dragon Ball FighterZ Show as it happens below.
Samurai Jack officially wrapped up in 2017, so it was a bit of a surprise when a brand new game based on the show was announced earlier this year. Adult Swim Games has teamed up with Japanese developer Soleil on a 3D action title that will have fans revisiting locations from the show, taking on familiar enemies, and more.
Ahead of next week’s release, we were able to speak with director Hiroaki Matsui from Soeil. We chatted about how the project happened and the studio’s involvement plus what it was like recreating the TV show. Switch was another topic of discussion as we wanted to get a better idea a to what players can expect from that version.
Here’s our full discussion:
Update (8/16): Ruud van de Moosdijk, Engine Software’s owner & VP of development, has said that “the unannounced project I am working on with a prolific Japanese developer, is not Killer7 for Switch”. He adds that the LinkedIn banner “should have been changed, as in the end we only did a PC version of Killer7.”
Original (8/14): Towards the end of 2018, Suda51’s classic GameCube title Killer7 was released on PC. Although NIS America published the game, it was ported by Engine Software – a studio that has worked on several projects for Switch. Now thanks to the company’s expertise, the game could be heading to Nintendo’s console.
A top developer at Engine Software shows a Killer7 remaster on his LinkedIn page for PC and Switch where he’s listed as executive producer. There’s also a note on his resume mentioning that he’s a producer “on an unannounced title in collaboration with a prolific Japanese game designer”.
Here’s a look:
Bethesda has rolled out the latest add-on for the re-release of Doom II on Switch. Players can now experience BTSX, Episode 2, which originally debuted in 2014.
Here’s a bit of information about BTSX, Episode 2:
A new update is live for Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition on Switch. With version 3.6.69.4648, the team has “addressed an array of visual and technical issues with the new Armour Sets, the Peck Eyes skill is no longer available during character creation and the cake is no longer a lie as we’ve addressed the crash from interacting with the wedding cake in Arx.”
The full patch notes are as follows:
Good Pizza, Great Pizza has slipped slightly, as the game was originally planned to launch in July. An eShop listing now reveals that it’s a few weeks out – we’ll be seeing it on September 4 instead.
We have the following overview and trailer for Good Pizza, Great Pizza:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include Jump Force Deluxe Edition, RPG Maker MV, Windbound, and more.

We have a massive amount of art for Paper Mario: The Origami King showcasing the various characters in the game. A few of these we’ve shared previously, but they were in much smaller resolution.
Here’s the full set:
Paper Mario: The Origami King is available now on Switch.
In a recent interview with Famitsu, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night creator Koji Igarashi reiterated interest in turning the IP into a series. However, he stressed the importance of wanting to “take my time and do things right.”
Igarashi also spoke about interest in working on something else entirely. While he didn’t give anything away regarding what sort of game ideas he could pursue, he’d want to develop “something a little more challenging if I were to create something brand new.”
Here’s our full translation of the interview excerpt:
Metroid fans have been waiting a long time for Metroid Prime 4, and it seems that the game is still pretty far out. When Nintendo made the original announcement at E3 2017, there wasn’t much to see. We were just given a logo… and that’s basically it. It’s more than likely that development hadn’t reached a point where Nintendo felt comfortable showing anything from the game itself.
The big blow concerning Metroid Prime 4 came at the start of 2019. It was never officially confirmed which developer was working on the project, but Nintendo decided to scrap everything that had been done up to that point and have Retro Studios take over. It was definitely not a bad idea to have the original Metroid Prime team lead development, but that meant fans would be forced to wait even longer for a proper look at the game, let alone the actual launch.
There’s very little that we know about Metroid Prime 4. As we wait for a proper update, now’s the time to think about what we’d like to see from the game. It should be a first-person adventure, but everything else is on the table. Is there a certain direction you’d like to see Retro take with Metroid Prime 4? Do you have any particular gameplay mechanics in mind? Let us know in the comments below.
