Pikachu has been a mainstay at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for almost two decades. The tradition continues once again this year, with The Pokemon Company confirming that the creatures will be flying high through the streets of New York during the event later this week. Pikachu will be wearing a cozy scarf and carrying a cute Snowman Pikachu.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will air on November 22 on NBC starting at 9 AM. Pikachu should show up sometime before the event ends.
Starting today, Warframe makes its debut on Switch. We have a new launch trailer for the game below.
Preview images of Famitsu have appeared online, and they reveal the new design of returning character Rorona in the upcoming Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland. The game is set several years after the other games in the Arland series, so this Rorona is a bit older than she was in her own game. The full issue of Famitsu, which will be out later this week, will also reveal a new male character, other returning characters and new gameplay features. Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland will be released in Spring 2019.
Preview images for the latest issue of Famitsu magazine have appeared online and they reveal that a fighting game in the Shining series is in the works for Nintendo Switch. Called Blade Arcus Rebellion, the game will feature characters from Shining Resonance Refrain and other Shining games. An online versus mode is also included. The game will launch in Japan on March 14th, 2019. We should have more information once we get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu tomorrow.
Nintendo posted a new trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on their Japanese Youtube channel. The video gives an overview of Smash’s basic gameplay, the fighters, the game’s various modes and more:

Even though Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is the best-selling third-party game title for Switch and Starlink: Battle for Atlas heavily featured Star Fox, Nintendo still makes up a small percentage of Ubisoft’s earnings. A recent report shows that sales on Nintendo platforms only made up 3% of their overall sales in Quarter 2 of 2018, less than when Mario + Rabbids was a newer release. It’s interesting data but doesn’t mean Ubisoft isn’t continuing to prioritize their partnership with Nintendo, just that it has much more content pointed towards other consoles and PC.
Pocket Camp has another event to celebrate its 1st year anniversary. They’re inviting players to post a screenshot of their own unique campsites through the Pocket Camp app from tomorrow through November 25. No word on if there’s a prize for doing so, though it certainly wouldn’t be surprising if there was.
Warframe is celebrating tomorrow’s launch on Switch with a little gift. Players can receive a free starter pack of in-game items through the Inbox until December 4 at 11:59 PM ET.
Here’s the full lineup of rewards:
