Nintendo has posted another update to the Smash Bros. Blog for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This time around, we have an introduction to the Brinstar stage.
Here’s the overview:
Shadows of the Empire wasn’t always a Star Wars game. In an interview with Game Informer, co-project leader Jon Knoles revealed that after wanting to take a break from Star Wars, the team “started kicking around this idea of a western with this new machine we heard Nintendo was making.”
Everything changed after Nintendo reached out to LucasArts about making a Star Wars game for what would be the N64. The Big N was interested in something new with original characters.
Ultimate Chicken Horse dropped on the eShop this week. Get a look at some footage of the game running on Switch below.
With Sony finally opening up the PlayStation 4 to cross-platform play with Fortnite, Epic Games is planning a couple of features for those who created an extra account to play the game on multiple console platforms.
First, an account-merging feature is in the works. This is scheduled for November and will allow users to combine Battle Royale purchases.
Also planned is functionality so that you’ll be able to unlink a console from one Fortnite account and relink it to another Fortnite account. Epic will make the feature available very soon, as it’s coming in just a few days.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 was originally supposed to have a separate Japanese voice pack on Switch yesterday. That didn’t happen, but SEGA has addressed the issue and the free DLC is now available to download.
Switching between languages is very easy. If you’d like to change the voices to Japanese (or back into English), just visit the options menu.
Rooms: The Adventure of Anne & George is now available on the Switch eShop. For a look at the game, check out the footage below.
This week, a new collaboration with Yacht Club Games was announced to bring Shovel Knight to Brawlhalla. Along with Shovel Knight himself, King Knight, Dark Knight, Plague Knight, and Specter Knight will be added with skins featuring unique select animations and signature effects.
Brawlhalla is releasing for Switch on November 6. The Shovel Knight skins will be appearing in the PC version starting October 3, so they’ll likely be available on Nintendo’s console at launch.
Masahiro Sakurai returns to Famitsu this week with a new column. The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director says Nintendo will be slowing down on the reveal of new characters, talks about Isabelle’s inclusion (such as how she differs from Villager, her design), and more.
