Famitsu has a new feature on Sonic Forces this week. Along with announcing a November 9 launch for Japan, the magazine provides details about the game itself, including the Hero Character and new Tag Team stages.
One of the aspects Famitsu covers is avatar customization. In addition to choosing between the seven species, you can also set the gender, skin color, and face to your liking. Each Hero Character species will have its own unique gameplay abilities. For example, Wolves can pull in surrounding rings.
Last night, NBA 2K18 cover star Kyrie Irving was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics. That had obviously implications for 2K Sports.
As for how the publisher is handling the situation, 2K says that the company “will issue a version of 2K18 featuring Kyrie in a Boston Celtics uniform at a later date.” The full statement reads:
“We are excited to be part of one of the most memorable NBA offseasons in history with Kyrie, our 2K18 cover athlete, and Isaiah, one of the stars of our 2K roster, trading places. This isn’t an unprecedented event, a cover athlete being traded – but it’s certainly interesting timing with 2K18 being released in less than a month. The good news is that as the most authentic and realistic basketball game on the market, we’re used to being nimble and responding to changes in the NBA. Fans should be thrilled to know that we will issue a version of 2K18 featuring Kyrie in a Boston Celtics uniform at a later date.”
Yoku’s Island Express is playable on Switch at Gamescom this week, and footage has arrived showing off the build. Watch the gameplay below.
Play limits were a thing on Wii U and 3DS, but we haven’t really seen anything similar on Switch – until now. In the Pokken Tournament demo, those who have downloaded the Japanese version have found that a 15 battle limit is included. It sounds like once you’ve hit that number, the demo doesn’t let you play any further.
… Or does it? We downloaded the Japanese Pokken Tournament demo and played through a couple of battles. We were then told that 13 were remaining. After deleting the demo data from Switch’s system settings and redownloading from the eShop, the counter reset to 15.
Super Mario Odyssey was featured during Nintendo’s Gamescom live stream earlier today. Towards the end of the first demo with producer Yoshiaki Koizumi, we’re able to see the name of another kingdom. That’s none other than the Seaside Kingdom.
It’s likely that we’ve already seen the Seaside Kingdom, though only very briefly. It’s likely where we see Mario capturing a Cheep Cheep in the trailer from E3.

Star Fox 2 is one of the games featured in the Super NES Classic Edition. However, it’ll take a tiny bit of work to unlock it. After you complete the first level in the original Star Fox, the sequel will be made available.
Here’s a look at the unlock process from GameXplain:

Original: A demo for the rhythm game Voez has gone live on the Japanese Switch eShop. It takes up 141MB of space, and has a few songs to try out. English speakers should be able to play through the demo without any issues.
Flyhigh Works announced a new 1.2 update for Voez early today. When downloaded, players will have access to twelve new songs.
It’s unclear if and when the Voez demo will be published outside of Japan. The eShop does update tomorrow, so there’s a possibility we’ll be getting some news then.
