Q-Games and Spike Chunsoft have readied a new update for PixelJunk Monsters 2. Version 1.04 is out now, adding in further language support, improvements, and more.
The full patch notes are as follows:
This week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation has an interview with Tales of Vesperia producer Yoshito Higuchi and Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition producer Yusuke Tomizawa. The two spoke about wanting to make the series multiplatform, interest in the team challenging itself for future entries, and more.
Here’s the roundup of tidbits shared:
Throughout the life cycle of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS, Nintendo prepared extra Mii Fighter costumes. We haven’t really seen this yet for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but that could be changing in the future.
Over on Nintendo’s customer support website, there’s a page for available Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC. It specifically mentions “Mii Fighter Costume” as part of that downloadable content. It states that one costume is included for $0.75, with a release planned for 2019.
We do have a small bit of doubt that Nintendo will be going all out with Mii Fighter costume DLC for Smash Bros. Ultimate. Though it could very well happen, we can’t help but wonder if the customer support site is referring to Rex. That Xenoblade Chronicles 2 outfit can only be obtained by purchasing the Fighters Pass currently. The fact that the page lists just a single costume may point to a wide release of the Rex costume. Either way, we should know come next year.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been in the works for quite some time having been funded on Kickstarter back in 2015. After a few years of development, the project is finally coming closer towards completion.
Creator Koji Igarashi stated in a Kickstarter today that development has now “reached its peak”. Igarashi provided the following status update:
A new video is now available for the strategy-simulation game We. The Revolution. Watch the “Life of a Judge” trailer below.
The King of Fighters 2002 has joined the Switch eShop as the latest NeoGeo game. For a look at the title, check out the following footage:
Limited Run Games has announced a physical version of Iconoclasts for Switch. Pre-orders will open on January 18.
Originally, Iconoclasts was offered as a digital download on Switch. It launched back in August for $19.99.
We’ll let you know when pre-orders for Iconoclasts’ physical release go live.
Phrasefight recently debuted on the Switch in eShop in Japan. Have a look at some gameplay footage in the video below.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 ended up selling roughly 200,000 copies in its first week, according to Media Create. The sales split between the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions were pretty similar, with Nintendo’s console just slightly behind. Dengeki adds that Dragon Quest Builders 2 sold through 50% of its initial shipment in Japan.
How does that stack up to the original? Well, it’s a bit difficult to compare since the first entry in the Dragon Quest Builders series came out on Switch well long after the initial release. However, the original title did end up selling 368,000 copies in its first week on the PlayStation 4, so Dengeki feels that initial sales are a bit on the slow side. We’ll hopefully see things pick up for the year-end and New Year sales.
Fire Emblem Heroes has brought back one of its prior events. Bound Hero Battle Revival: Hector & Matthew is live, and will be active until January 4.
The latest event features the pair of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade characters in Special Maps. Limited-time quests are available as well. Players can send Alfonse: Prince of Askr and Fjorm: Princess of Ice into battle to earn Orbs as rewards.
