Nintendo has posted another update to the Smash Bros. Blog for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This time around, we have an introduction to Pac-Man.
Here’s the overview:
Nintendo has cranked out yet another new piece of Hint Art for Super Mario Odyssey. We have the latest image above.
Similar to past Hint Art images shared online, there’s no Power Moon tied to solving the puzzle. Instead, you’ll be given a small reward for your troubles.
Nintendo just released a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate trailer promoting the game’s December 7 release date. See it below.
System: Switch
Release date: October 16, 2018

The cosmos has always been fascinating. From our blue dot, Earth, being able to look up and see the stars shine, it’s natural to wonder what’s out there or what it’d be like to walk on other planets or visit other solar systems first hand. It’s because of this that I’ve always found sci-fi and space exploration intriguing regardless of the medium helping to bring those thoughts and galaxies to fruition with our imagination. Titles like Mass Effect, Elite Dangerous, Everspace, No Man’s Sky, and so much more have helped bring us as close as possible to experiencing the extraterrestrial within the comfort of our own homes (with significantly less danger) and laid the foundation as well as continue to push various ideas on what lies beyond the exosphere in a variety of different ways. Starlink: Battle for Atlas takes the best parts of space exploration, planetary farming, star battles, and more and brings them together in a way that’s immersive both in and out of the game with a toys-to-life approach that, surprisingly, doesn’t actually need any toys to be enjoyed to its fullest.
Pixel Arc Studios recently started a Kickstarter campaign in hopes of funding Bushiden. The goal has been met with less than two days to spare, and the game’s development will be completed. Even better, it’ll be coming to Switch.
The tagline for Bushiden is that it’s a futuristic, ninja action platformer. We have a few more details and a trailer below.
Blue Wizard Digital is celebrating Halloween with the release of Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle on Switch. Check out some footage below.
Horizon Shift ’81 is coming to Switch, Flump Studios has announced. The team is using the original Horizon Shift, but will now release it as a “sequel/de-make” on Nintendo’s console.
Here’s a bit of additional information and a trailer:
Denis Dyack, known for spearheading the likes of Eternal Darkness at Silicon Knights many years ago, tried to make the new project Shadow of the Eternals happen during the Wii U era. Dyack and his team were looking to fund their project on Kickstarter, but unfortunately missed out on the funding goal. There’s always been some uncertainty over the game since then, but Dyack has finally provided a mostly definitive update.
The bottom line is that Shadow of the Eternals isn’t happening anytime soon. Dyack told IGN that “it’s not canceled, but it is also not going to be in active development for a while.”
Dyack announced a latest game Deadhaus Sonata from his new development studio, Apocalypse. He says it’s “targeting all platforms,” though it’s unclear if Switch is included.
A new update has gone live for the digital version of Deemo. Version 1.4 is here, adding in support for the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con Piano. This includes an exclusive music pack.
Yesterday, it was announced that the physical version of Deemo is launching January 29. Nintendo Labo support will come out of the box, so an update won’t be necessary.
The September 2018 NPD report might have been mostly quiet in terms of Nintendo news, but one related nugget of information has emerged. Through 2018 so far, Nintendo is actually the best-selling publisher of the year when it comes to software.
The bulk of Nintendo’s sales may very well come during the holiday season. The company is saving a couple of big guns for the holiday in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Various Switch bundles are also planned, which should provide a nice hardware boost.
