Update: We’ve added some Mega Man countdown art below.
Original: The latest piece of official art counting down to Smash Bros. Ultimate is from Splatoon. Nintendo just shared the above image on social media a few minutes ago.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches this Friday – December 7.
To celebrate the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo has announced a special Splatfest for Splatoon 2. The worldwide event will be held next weekend.
Nintendo will once again ask players to choose between two sides. It’s heroes vs. villains this time around.
Koei Tecmo has uploaded a new trailer for Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition. You can watch it below.
The Pokemon Company has posted a job listing for what looks to be a new mobile title. Game Informer spotted the page on LinkedIn, which specifically mentions mobile/gaming design as a desired trait from applicants.
Another interesting tidbit is that The Pokemon Company is seeking someone who has experience in Unity. Pokemon Trading Card Game, currently only available on tablets, is the only Pokemon title to make use of that engine. Could The Pokemon Company be pursuing a port to phones or something else entirely?
The full posting is as follows:

We have a sales update on Dragalia Lost, Nintendo’s new mobile title which was developed by Cygames.
Since launching in select regions at the end of September, Dragalia Lost has surpassed $50 million in player spending on the App Store and Google Play. 60% of that amount was generated by iOS users.
Yet another company is entering the fray when it comes to offering physical versions of games. This month, Warned Collectors will be opening pre-orders for a trio of Switch titles.
Furi Guardian Edition, Dungeon Rushers, and Pankapu go up on December 7. Pre-orders will be held on the company’s website here.
It’s currently unclear what will be included in Furi Guardian Edition aside from the game itself.
As we heard last night, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate version 1.1.0 is already available. Those who pre-loaded the game from the eShop can download the update, and those who managed to secure it early from certain retailers can probably access it as well.
Fans have already dug through the patch’s files to see if there’s anything noteworthy. There is one thing, but it’s a bit on the small side. It seems that a few more Spirits have been added.
