Nintendo uploaded a new commercial to promote Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions on 3DS. Watch the “Best Friends” advert below.
Following up on last week’s update, Splatoon 2 has received another patch. It’s now at version 1.4.1.
It was sort of expected, but today’s update isn’t too significant. Instead of adding new functionality and making adjustments to elements like weapons, this is mainly about addressing a few issues.
Nintendo just issued two new Japanese Snipperclips Plus trailers, and we have both below. The first is an overall introduction to the game. The second is primarily aimed at those who played the original release.
Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle was updated today with some new DLC featuring Koishi Komeiji. Check out a bit of footage in the video below.
Party Golf is now available on the Switch eShop in North America and Europe. Get a look at the launch trailer from Giant Margarita below.
The Verge is among the sites to have shared some comments from Game Freak about Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon. Director Kazumasa Iwao was interviewed, who spoke about how the team really focused on the user interface. He also discussed how Game Freak wanted to improve what was possible from last year’s titles while also surprising players.
Iwao said:
Moon Hunters, first announced for Switch in August, has been given a release date on the European Switch eShop. Based on what’s listed, Moon Hunters will be available on October 26. The North American launch will also likely take place at the same time.
Moon Hunters is a roguelike action RPG with support for up to four players. You’ll set out on a journey to solve a mystery and restore balance to the world after the Moon fails to rise on one fateful summer evening.
Here’s a trailer for the game:

A number of hints and teases have suggested that Super Meat Boy would be on Switch. Finally, we have official confirmation.
The official Super Meat Boy Twitter account notes that Super Meat Boy will be heading to Switch digitally before the year is over. Also, it sounds like a physical version will be prepared in 2018.
Here’s the tweet in question:
Yes. SMB on Switch will happen this year. Physical Switch (probably) next year. https://t.co/A5eYkfls81

GameSpot recently spoke with Motive Studios producer David Robillard about Star Wars Battlefront II. The site managed to get in a question about a potential Switch version.
Robillard said that a Switch release could be explored “if we see opportunities there”. However, he quickly added that “it is not something that’s on the books right now.”
It’s worth noting that Star Wars Battlefront II runs on Frostbite. For FIFA 18 on Switch, rather than using the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions as a base which also use Frostbite, EA created a custom engine. It would be interesting to see how Star Wars Battlefront II or any other titles from the publisher would be handled in the future if they’re developed with that engine.
