Harmonix has released a third teaser for its upcoming Switch title Super Beat Sports. Five games will be included in the package: Whacky Bat, Net Ball, Rhythm Racket, Buddy Ball and Gobble Golf. Each one supports full multiplayer and a bonus Pro mode. Watch today’s video below.
When Switch was announced, many developers who were planning Wii U projects jumped ship over to the new console. However, Graphite Lab stuck to its guns and remained on track to bring Hive Jump to the older system. Just this past week, the game finally launched on the eShop.
Graphite Lab’s Matt Raithel reflected on the whole process in a new blog published on Gamasutra this week. In one section, he explains why the team was committed to the Wii U version, writing:
The App Store updated today with a news piece about Super Mario Run. The article included some comments from Takashi Tezuka, who has long been working on the Mario series.
Takashi is one of a select few developers who has had a large impact on Mario – others being Shigeru Miyamoto and Toshihiko Nakago.
Tezuka had this to say about their lengthy working relationship:
“If we were a rock band, we’d have disbanded long ago. After working together for 30 years, our sense of what’s good and what’s bad in terms of quality is in sync.”
Amazon is running a Music Unlimited promotion right now that can net you $10 in easy credit. All that’s required is to head on over here, enter “MUSIC1” as your code, and select apply. Then sign up for Music Unlimited by selecting the 30-day trial option, and the $10 credit should show up at checkout. This will work on any item shipped and sold by Amazon through October 31.
We tried the method, and the whole process only took a couple of minutes. You can basically use this to get $10 in eShop credit for free or save on something like Super Mario Odyssey. Just make sure that you cancel the Music Unlimited trial within the next 30 days, assuming you’re not interested in the subscription.
Nintendo has passed along two more codes for Pokken Tournament DX. The latest ones, as shown above, can be used to obtain original outfits for your trainer.

The Super NES Classic Edition has launched around the world. Bethesda has taken notice, and is celebrating in its own special way. The company thought about what the boxart for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim could have looked like had it been on the SNES – see the image above.
Mario + Rabbids couldn’t have gone better for Ubisoft… well, aside from the initial leaks. Once the game was actually revealed at E3, it was given a proper chance, and what was initially shown seemed very promising. The final product ultimately delivered.
Not only has Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle been well received by both critics and players, but it has also sold very well. It’s thanks to all of the success that Ubisoft Milan has a bright future ahead.
Update: Bumped to the top. This is now live on Amazon US.
Original: Amazon UK has started taking pre-orders for the Super Mario Odyssey Switch bundle. Reserve it here. Along with the Switch hardware (including the red Joy-Con), you’ll receive a digital code for Super Mario Odyssey.
