As first discovered earlier today, Nintendo has updated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Version 2.0.2 is out now.
According to an in-game notice, support has been added for the Daisy, Young Link, and Ken amiibo figures. You’ll need the patch in order to participate in online play. Replay compatibility is supported with version 2.0.1 and version 2.0.0, but not 1.2.1 and earlier.
Nintendo has announced the latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event. This week, the theme is “Cruisin’ for a Bruisin'” where boxer-esque characters will be appearing. Defeating them will give you more gold than usual.
The Spirit Board event should kick off on Friday. Look for it to last a few days as usual.

Burger King has officially started offering the Pokemon: Detective Pikachu toys we reported on a few days ago. If you’re interested in any of the options pictured above, you’ll need to purchase a King Jr Meal.
Six toys are up for grabs in total. They include Detective Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Mewtwo, Arcanine, Loudred, and Psyduck. We know that Detective Pikachu lights up, Arcanine shoots a fireball from its mouth, and Mewtwo has a ball of psychic energy that it can hold and drop by moving its arms. Burger King crowns are also available based on the movie.

When pre-orders for Bubsy: Paws On Fire! went up on Amazon last week, we noticed that the retailer had listed a May 16 release date. That seemed a bit odd as we originally heard it would be available sometime in April. Accolade has clarified the situation, officially confirming the delay.
As previously mentioned, Bubsy: Paws on Fire! is getting a limited edition. Pre-orders are up on Amazon here. Copies will contain the game, soundtrack sampler, and mini collectors booklet.
We’ve included a pre-order trailer for Bubsy: Paws On Fire! below.
