This information comes from Famitsu….
– The team had ideas for an all-star party game and love simulation game at first
– All the alchemists from previous games gather at Vestbalt is because of its Grantzvite wood, which alchemists find fascinating
– However, since this is a festival title, the team hopes you can not worry too much about the small details and enjoy the game
– Dozens of characters from previous games will appear, so please look forward to that
– Exploration in this game is similar to the DS and Salburg series
– The concept is that there are phases where you move to exploration areas, during each of which you can battle and collect ingredients, before going back [to town] that phase ends
– The story does not change based on how you develop the city, but rather on how develop your friendships with the characters
– There will be character episodes
Something’s rotten in the land of the dead, and you’re being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there’s trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation.
One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango’s epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot’s Game of the Year award upon its original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.Remastered version includes
Repainted, hi-res character textures
New, dynamic lighting
Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra
Over 2 hours of exclusive developer commentary

Nintendo finished the first day of the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles with two competitive champions and a host of bonus announcements that built on today’s Nintendo Direct: E3 2018 video presentation.
Nintendo crowned ZeRo of Chile the champion of the Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018 tournament. A longtime player of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, ZeRo defeated seven other top-ranked Super Smash Bros. players from around the world to successfully defend his title from Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Invitational in 2014. ZeRo emerged as the top player of the new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game for the Nintendo Switch system. In the final match, ZeRo used Mario to defeat runner-up MkLeo of Mexico, who played as Sonic.
During the E3 Nintendo Direct presentation today, it was announced that Smash Bros. Ultimate will support GameCube controllers. It makes sense then that Nintendo is preparing a new GameCube controller adapter.
GameSpot heard from a Nintendo representative that the accessory will be released alongside Smash Bros. Ultimate in December. Additionally, it will cost $20.
A new line of Smash-branded GameCube controllers are also planned for later this year.
The official website for Smash Bros. Ultimate saw its grand opening today. It houses pages for every character confirmed thus far.
On the character pages, each portrait is accompanied by a stage. It’s here that nine more returning stages have been discovered.
Xander Mobus was the announcer in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. For Smash Bros. Ultimate, he’ll be reprising his role.
Mobus shared the news on Twitter today:
So I guess there was a gaming conference or something with some cool stuff announced? Either way…I'M BACK, BABY! pic.twitter.com/tdaCMvx20D
