This week, Nintendo released an update for Kirby Battle Royale in Japan. The game has been updated to version 2.1.0.
The official patch notes are as follows:
– Made it easier to gain Ranking Points in Online Battle.
– Made it so that you will gain Ranking Points even if an Online Battle is cancelled due to an opponent disconnecting.
– Fixed a bug that could cause the game to crash when a rocket is launched in Rocket Rumble.
Kirby Battle Royale still isn’t out in North America, but is scheduled for January.
The official website for Steins;Gate Elite provides a look at the game’s boxart. We’ve posted the packaging image above.
Nintendo has once again uploaded a video in which Mario responds to a fan letter. You can watch the fifth episode below.
Nintendo describes Switch as a console first and foremost, but it’s one that you can take anywhere. In an interview with IGN, Nintendo’s Entertainment Planning and Development Division general manager Shinya Takahashi spoke about the hardware’s portable nature.
When asked if they’ve seen many people playing Switch out in the world and its success thus far, Takahashi replied with the following:
A new update is now live for Dragon Fang Z. The game has been updated to version 1.0.2.
Early user reports indicate that Dragon Fang Z’s translation is improved after applying the patch. Note that you may need to reboot your system before the changes taken effect.
As was reported earlier in the week, Cube Creator X is heading to Switch. Famitsu has first details about the new game.
The following tidbits have been translated from the magazine:
– Has local and online multiplayer
– Cube types can be registered in part units
– Can choose the form of the stage in the stage builder
– Weather will change
– You can raise pets
– The concept of “temperature” has been added

It’s the end of the week, which means another weapon update for Splatoon 2. This time it’s a brand-new weapon: the Undercover Brella will be added to the game soon. Compared to other Brella-type weapons, it has lower durability but can be fired while its semi-transparent shield is open. It comes with the Ink Mine sub-weapon and the Splashdown special. It will be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.
