The latest update for Super Mario Run is now available. On both iOS and Android, version 3.0.15 is out now.
Not too much to note this time, however, as the official patch notes only mention “Implemented bug fixes” in regards to the update.
Ahead of release in September, 2K Sports has revealed some of the player ratings in the upcoming NBA 2K20, including the top 20 players overall.
Those interested can view the various lists below.
For the first Grand Prix season in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Tawna and her “Watermelon Tawna” skin were added. Players quickly took issue with the name. Because of her darker fur and watermelon shirt, many people felt that this was racially insensitive.
Activision and Beenox have since taken action. The skin has since been changed to Summertime Tawna along with a few others. “White Tawna” is now known as “White Tiger Tawna”, for instance. A number of other skins with “Black” or “White” in front of them have also been given a slight change such as “Black N. Tropy” and “Black Zem”.
GungHo Online Entertainment issued a new teaser trailer for its upcoming Switch title Puzzle & Dragons Gold. Have a look at the video below.
Pokemon GO has announced a special collaboration with the manga and anime One Piece. Between July 22 and July 29, a special Straw Hat Pikachu will appear in-game. Players will also be able to access a straw hat outfit.
Japan is taking the collaboration a bit further. A One Piece statue will be placed in Kumamoto with special PokeStop featuring art from series creator Eiichiro Oda. This is being held to help support the Kumamoto prefecture in Japan rebuild following last year’s earthquake.
When SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays was announced, we heard that the game would be made available in Asia with English subtitles. It’s now been confirmed that the launch will take place on November 28. Japanese voice-overs will be included with English text. Play-Asia has pre-orders here.
Fans will be able to purchase standard physical and digital editions. A limited physical and digital “Premium G Sound Edition” is also planned, which features 35 Gundam anime theme songs and original soundtrack music collections.

Damascus Gear Operation Tokyo released on Switch last year. As for Operation Osaka, it was first made available on PS4 and PS Vita before appearing on Steam.
Nihon Falcom doesn’t exactly have a lot of experience with Nintendo platforms. If Nippon Ichi Software didn’t offer to port Ys VIII, it probably wouldn’t have ended up on Switch.
In an interview with USgamer, Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo commented on what it would take to further suport Switch. Kondo explained that they “don’t have the knowhow” to develop for the platform and has to serve its fan base on PlayStation systems above all else.
