As promised, Nintendo just issued a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate video presentation with director Masahiro Sakurai featuring new Hero. We’ve now received official confirmation that the DLC character will be launching today, July 30.
Nintendo has gone live with its brand new video presentation for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In the video below, you can watch director Masahiro Sakurai deliver the latest news about DLC character Hero and more.
Nintendo’s latest financial results are in, and included with the various documents is the upcoming release schedule for Switch. Aside from a look at what’s to come from a first-party perspective, it also provides an overview of some planned third-party titles. We’ve attached the latest schedule below.
Yesterday, Activision began taking pre-orders for Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The eShop listing indicated that the collection would be a 6.3GB download on Switch. However, the situation is a bit more complicated than that.
According to those who accessed information from Nintendo’s servers, a day-one update is in the works. The 8.7GB will push the total file size to around 15GB. Some felt that the original 6.3GB amount was a bit too small given what we saw on other platforms, so perhaps that update data includes one of the three games in Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
The second Grand Prix is starting soon in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Back N. Time starts on August 2, which will feature baby versions of Crash and Coco plus other playable characters, the Probulot 2000 kart, and more.
You can see everything that’s on the way above. Remember, it’s all free.
