Splatoon 2 held its latest Splatfest this weekend, and it was a pretty big one. Nintendo celebrated the recent launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a themed event. Players could choose to side with either Heroes or Villains.

A whole bunch of Nintendo maintenance is lined up over the next few days. The fun begins today, with specific sessions for games including Pokemon: Let’s Go, Minecraft, Super Mario Odyssey, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. All Nintendo systems will also be impacted over the next few days.
Here’s the full lineup of maintenance:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country was released digitally this past week. To commemorate the occasion, executive director Tetsuya Takahashi shared a few words.
We have the following message from Takahashi:
WILL: A Wonderful World was given a new rating by the ESRB last month. It was a sign that PM Studios will be bringing the game to retail, though we didn’t have an official announcement. Although that’s still the case, we essentially have confirmation at this point.
Amazon and GameStop have both put up listings for a physical version of WILL: A Wonderful World. Given their track records, it’s safe to say that it’s happening. We just need the news from PM Studios officially – which shouldn’t be too far away.
If Amazon and GameStop are to be believed, we’ll be seeing WILL: A Wonderful World on store shelves in Q1 2019. Both list a tentative March 26 release date.
When Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire was announced for Switch earlier this year, we heard that it would be out sometime this holiday. With just a couple of weeks remaining in the year, that target seemed much less likely.
Obsidian has now provided an update, confirming a new release window of 2019. Grip Digital is working on the port. When Pillars of Eternity II launches on Switch, it “will ship with all expansions, updates, and free DLC’s included at launch”.
During the Puyo Puyo Championship December 2018 Tournament today, two new games were revealed for the SEGA Ages lineup on Switch. Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo Tsu from the arcades are both in the pipeline.
SEGA has yet to go into detail on features. However, we do know that the two games will feature online support.
It’s not currently clear when SEGA Ages – Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo Tsu will be available on Switch, but we’ll keep you posted.
Trials Rising is going through a short delay. Originally, the game was lined up for February 12. It will now ship on February 26.
Ubisoft said in an official statement that “Ubisoft RedLynx and Ubisoft Kiev will use the small amount of extra time for additional testing and fine-tuning that will help bring the biggest, most ambitious Trials experience to life.”
