Nintendo NY is keeping up the tradition of hosting viewing events for Nintendo Directs. When the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct airs tomorrow, fans can stop by to watch the broadcast with other enthusiasts. The Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation will also be shown at Nintendo NY.
Nintendo NY will be showing the same feed that you can find online, but it’s more about viewing things with other fans. Plus, you can bet that the reactions will be recorded, and those are always a good time to watch after the fact.
Earlier this month, Marvelous announced that it will be bringing Fate/Extella Link to Switch in Japan. XSEED has now followed up with news confirming that it will be released in North America.
XSEED will be offering a premium Fleeting Glory Edition, which includes a soundtrack CD, a pack of 10 collectible 3” by 5” cards depicting each of the new Servants, a 17” by 24” cloth poster, and a 3” by 4.5” acrylic diorama featuring the Servants Nero, Drake, and Scáthach, all housed in a custom box. It’ll cost $79.99.
The pre-load option for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee has started to go live on some regions. Thanks to that, we have the file sizes for the two games. Both weigh in at just 4.1GB.
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee can currently be pre-loaded in Australia and Japan. Other regions should follow soon.

The release date for Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two on Switch appears to be final. After it was previously pulled months ago, the game has returned to the eShop with a November 6 release date. Other retailers have been listing the same day for the physical copy, so there shouldn’t be any further delays.
It was originally thought that Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two would be out on Switch back in August based on the original eShop listing. That didn’t happen though, and we were left wondering when it would eventually launch.
Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two still has its original listed price point of $39.99.
