After not updating for three days, the official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate website updated today. It got a total of three new posts, although none of them really introduce anything new. Mario gets a little introductory post, and the website talks a bit about the new Black Hole item and the Battlefield stage.

With the latest update, compatibility has been added in for several new DLC characters. These include Yang Xiao Long

The latest 3DS firmware update has just gone live. Nintendo issued version 11.7.0-4 just now.
Nintendo hasn’t shared the patch notes as of yet, but there hasn’t been any major changes in a few years. The lone statement will likely be the following “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”. If we hear anything differently, we’ll let you know.
In Inkopolis Square, the main hub of Splatoon 2, players can share their fan art, in-game memes, and helpful tips with other users. This builds a sense of community amongst players, and helps the Splatoon universe feel vibrant and alive. Unfortunately, this also means that some flagrant messages find their way into the game’s lobby, and within the multiplayer maps where these messages also appear.
Speaking with Kotaku, Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami explained that posts that receive more “likes” naturally appear more often; in theory, this means that the system can be used to upvote hateful comments “kind of like the real world.”
