Splash Blast Panic is coming to the Switch eShop this Thursday. For a look at some gameplay footage, watch the video below.
Splatoon 2’s 4.1.0 will be going live tomorrow or later today (depending on your time zone); alongside the final new stage to be added to the game, Skipper Pavilion, four more weapons from the Kensa Collection will be available:
The latest trailer for Persona Q2 is a little bit different than usual: it showcases who is presumably the first boss you encounter in the game, “Kamoshidaman”. Based on the villainous teacher from Persona 5, Kamoshida, Kamoshidaman is, at least according to this in-universe movie, a superhero who fights for justice:
Fire Emblem Heroes pits fathers against daughters in its latest Voting Gauntlet event, which involves four rounds between now and October 8. Perfectly Nintendo provides a great description of how the Voting Gauntlets work:
The second half of Jack’s Halloween Hunt gives you the opportunity to find new flowers and help Jack collect special creatures in order to earn even more rewards. Here’s a full description of the event courtesy of Perfectly Nintendo.
As teased in the past few days, the latest garden event for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp went live today. It’s called Jack’s Halloween Hunt, and it runs until October 9th (with the event divided in two parts, the second one beginning on October 2nd).
Here’s what the event is all about: Jack has come to your campsite in search of a rare type of creatures: rare bats. To help him, you need to grow flowers that can attract them. Of course, you will be rewarded for doing so: by completing the tasks set by Jack, you can earn some special pieces of furniture and more. You can even view an extra special ending if you complete all the tasks!
There’s also a set of hard tasks, that you can tackle once you’re done with those from the first and second half. As the name implies, they’re harder than regular tasks, but they’re totally worth it: they allow you to get recoloured versions of the furniture and clothes you can get from the regular tasks. Unfortunately, they do not unlock a special cutscene when they have all been completed, and the rewards are not displayed in the Catalog.
Don’t forget to check the set of Timed Goals that went live alongside the event: you will find details about them on this page! Also, 2 Halloween Packs are now available from the store (they include bonus flower food), and you can find details about them on the same page.
More information is available in the Pocket Camp app.
New boxes are unexpectedly available to purchase in Pokemon GO. There’s no hint on if they’re temporary or permanent. The screenshots below display the boxes and what they contain.
Nintendo has posted another update to the Smash Bros. Blog for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This time around, we have an introduction to Sheik.
Here’s the overview:
Fortnite teased an upcoming game mode in its news feed that makes emotes more important than ever. Polygon provides more detail:
It seems like the new mode will be all about dancing, or emoting, and require players to spend as much time using emotes in a certain area as possible, according to the description. While dancing may be the focus, it’s unlikely that this means guns will be gone from the mode completely, which means you’ll have to make sure you’re dancing safely.
Fortnite didn’t include a release date, but Season 6’s first content update arrives this week so we probably won’t have to wait long.
More amiibo seem to be getting a restock in the near future. Lucario, Toon Link, Sheik, Charizard, and Marth have all seen updated children’s product safety certificates.
Almost every one of these amiibo went through a new wave of manufacturing in August. The only exception if Sheik, though it should still be included in an updated restock based on the updated certificate.
If and when we hear about amiibo restocks, we’ll be sure to pass the news along.
Minecraft launched in 2011, and has been going strong since then. Some fans might be wondering if we’ll ever see a sequel, but IP owner Microsoft has shut down the idea once again.
Speaking with Business Insider, Microsoft’s Helen Chiang said that a Minecraft 2 wouldn’t make sense since it would fracture the community. Chiang stated:
