Nintendo just published two new trailers for Mario Tennis Aces. With Petey Piranha and Shy Guy joining the game next month, they’ve received their own spotlight videos. Both can be found below.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP was announced for Switch back in August only for it to have not been mentioned since. We did hear that it was supposed to land on the eShop sometime this month, but Capybara Games never confirmed a specific date. Listings on the eShop now indicate that the title is due out next week.
Over on the North American and European stores, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is listed for release on November 30. The Australian eShop has it down for one day later – December 1.
Nintendo has shared another piece of Super Mario Odyssey concept art through social media. Above, we have the latest image showing Pauline (or Mayor Pauline).
The art shows off Pauline’s final design in the game. Nintendo’s goal was to highlight what Pauline would look like today and maintain the past essence of the character at the same time.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. Right now over 200 games have been discounted – the largest ever for a given period.
Here’s the full roundup of sales:
We’ve secured the European boxart for BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition on Switch. Check out the packaging image above.
BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition will be sold physically in Europe and Japan. However, it’ll be digital-only in North America.
Usually most of the major news about figures comes out of Wonder Festival, but we do have a few updates from WonHobby Gallery 2018 Autumn. The event took place in Akihabara, Tokyo this weekend where fans were treated to looks at upcoming Nintendo products and more.
The Layton Nendoroid was previously announced, but only in a picture concept form. Now we’re able to see what it looks like in-person, albeit without color. Also shown was the Nendoroid Beam Kirby as well as Kotobukiya-made Pokemon figures for Ethan and Leaf.
Below is the full set of photos:
Adobe Analytics tracks e-commerce transactions across 80 of the top 100 US retailers. Today, the company reported early information about Black Friday 2018 sales.
According to Adobe, the top five products purchased online in the United States were Laptops, LOL Surprise dolls and accessories, Fingerlings baby pet toys for kids, God of War on PlayStation 4, and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. CNET further indicates that the new Pokemon games were top-selling products at retail in general during Black Friday.
Pokemon: Let’s Go is already confirmed to have sold over three million copies worldwide in its first three days.
North America and Japan both had their latest Splatfests earlier this month. This weekend, it was Europe’s turn.
Splatoon 2’s latest European Splatfest carried a food theme. Players were asked if the eat the yummiest part of their meal right away, or save the best ’til last? In other words: impatient eater vs. flavor savourer?
The Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018 kicked off in Japan this week. Normally you wouldn’t expect any sort of major news from that type of event, but something noteworthy did in fact happen.
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma reportedly appeared at the concert this weekend. Based on messages from fans who attended and posted on social media, Aonuma said: “We know what you are thinking, Skyward Sword on Switch, right?” That prompted the audience to clap and cheer.
Nintendo has been bringing the 3D Zelda games to new systems one by one, so a new release of Skyward Sword would make sense. Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask hit 3DS while Wind Waker and Twilight Princess landed on Wii U. Could Skyward Sword on Switch be next?
