Rocket League has seen tremendous growth in popularity and players over the past few years since its original release, and also now cements itself as one of the largest eSports franchises in the world. At the same time, it remains easy to pick up and play for the casual gamer to enjoy. Although we’ve seen a surge in online multiplayer titles for quite awhile now, Rocket League maintains a dedicated and respectful consumer base thanks to its low cost of entry, hours of fun, and, most importantly, no pay-to-win nonsense. The cars won’t run faster, but having something like the Batmobile will definitely make you look cooler than most out on the field (besides the incredible Metroid car, of course).
Earlier in the week, Nintendo started a Cyber Deals sale on the eShops. Games like I Am Setsuna, 1-2 Switch, and a few other were discounted on Switch in addition to Wii U and 3DS.
Aside from what specific sale, a slew of other titles have been discounted. The likes of Has-Been Heroes, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, The Mummy Demastered, This is the Police, and more can be had at lower prices.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’s new update came out yesterday. According to Nintendo’s official patch notes, it was released to address a few bugs. However, there’s more to the update than initially thought.
All sorts of content datamined from the latest Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been posted on Reddit. We have a look at a bunch of new content that appears to be on the way, including new villagers, furniture, and more.
Assuming there aren’t any last-minute delays, MUJO should be out on the Switch eShop worldwide next week. We have a new trailer for the game below.
A huge patch is on the way to Slime-san. Fabraz is wrapping up patch 1.1, which is highlighted by the brand new Blackbird’s Kraken campaign. It encompasses new levels, a new boss fight, new target mode challenges, and more.
Aside from Blackbird’s Kraken, version 1.1 for Slime-san also adds some new features and makes some adjustments. These include leaderboards, button mapping, a karting mini-game for two players, and more.
Continue on below for Slime-san’s 1.1 patch notes.
We have another round of data for the debut sales of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon in Japan. This time around, Dengeki has an update.
Sales between the two versions of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon stack up very similarly. According to Dengeki, Ultra Sun sold 340,394 units. Ultra Moon moved 338,618 copies. As you can see, the split is extremely small. The double pack sold another 250,000 copies by the way.
Dengeki also has a specific sell-through number for the 3DS games. The site’s data has Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon selling through 70% of their initial shipment.
Unlike I Am Setsuna, Lost Sphear will be sold physically in North America and Europe. There was a catch when Square Enix announced the game, however. It seemed as though the physical version would be exclusive to the company’s store. Or so we thought.
We started to notice this last week, but it looks like Lost Sphear will be sold on Amazon in Europe. We first spotted a listing on Amazon UK. Amazon Germany and Amazon France have listings now as well.
As for North America, well… we might be out of luck there. So far there aren’t any signs of Lost Sphear being available anywhere else other than Square Enix’s online store. But if you absolutely don’t want to deal with that site, importing from Amazon’s European outlets should be an option.
Fire Emblem Heroes has started the latest wave of Special Quests. Players will find content featuring Alfonse: Prince of Askr.
Quests will be active until December 10. You can use Alfonse to earn Orbs and other rewards.
Aces of the Luftwaffe: Squadron recently arrived on the Switch eShop. It didn’t take HandyGames very long to publish a first patch for the game.
Version 1.0.1 is now available. According to HandyGames, it involves “significant performance improvements and fixes small bugs.”
