One feature Pokemon GO players are still looking to see is PvP. Currently, there still isn’t a natural way for users to battle against each other. We’ve heard Niantic say before that this functionality will be added, but we have another comment from the studio indicating that it may arrive sooner rather than later.
Speaking with polish magazine Gram, Niantic head of EMEA product marketing Anne Beuttenmüller stated that the company wants to get PvP in Pokemon GO at the end of this year. Here’s a rough translation of what was said (via Google Translate):
A new Super Smash Bros. Direct will air on August 8, Nintendo has announced. The presentation will deliver the latest information about Smash Bros. Ultimate, as hosted by director Masahiro Sakurai.
It’ll air at the following times:
New sales data is in from the UK for the month of July 2018.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy leads the way, taking the top spot. Mario Tennis Aces and Octopath Traveler also appear at #8 and #9 respectively.
Super Baby Vegeta will be added to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 in the future as one of the latest DLC characters. We have a lengthy look at him in action with eight minutes of footage below, as shown during the Dragon Ball Game Festival 2018.
During a live stream today, Koei Tecmo announced Perseus as the latest playable character in Warriors Orochi 4. New footage from the game was shown as well. We have Perseus’ trailer below, along with a recording of the live stream with footage.
SubaraCity hits the Switch eShop this coming Thursday. Have a look at some early footage in the video below.
At BitSummit a few months ago, Inti Creates revealed a pair of notable projects. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon was announced and subsequently released a couple of weeks later while Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX is much further off.
Game*Spark caught up Takuya Aizu shortly after the two games were made known. Not many had the chance to ask Aizu about Luminous Avenger iX in particular, so the interview is pretty noteworthy. Aizu discussed the project’s development status and why we’re not seeing Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 yet, among other things. There’s some Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon talk sprinkled in as well.
The situation surrounding the western release of Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun is a strange one. When it was announced for the west last week, Bandai Namco shared a North American boxart. But just a few days ago, the company claimed that the game will be digital-only overseas.
Perhaps not, however. Amazon UK added in a listing for Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun this week, suggesting that there will be a physical version in PAL regions. The retailer lists a £49.99 price point for the game.
We’re still not entirely sure what’s going on here. Despite the boxart, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun could still be just a digital title in North America. In Europe though, things might be different.
New off-screen footage has emerged showing My Hero: One’s Justice on Switch from Japan Expo 2018. Get a look at the gameplay below.
