Shovel Knight: Official Design Works was originally planned for August. For unknown reasons, the book ended up being pushed back, but a new (and hopefully final) release date has been announced.
You should be able to purchase Shovel Knight: Official Design Works beginning on October 17. Amazon has also reopened pre-orders after previously closing them here.
Shovel Knight: Official Design Works is packed with all sorts of content. It includes key art, character concepts, enemy designs, sprite sheets, unused ideas, and a new tribute art gallery! Creator commentary and an exclusive interview are also featured.
Nintendo’s website offers up concrete details about how amiibo support works in Mario Party: The Top 100. A listing for the game states:
Tap compatible amiibo figures to receive in-game bonuses on Minigame Island. Stand on a circle marked with the amiibo symbol and tap to get 10 coins. If the amiibo circle is occupied by a Goomba or Koopa Troopa, tap their respective amiibo figures for 50 coins! If your life reaches 0, you can tap compatible amiibo to restore one life. Each compatible amiibo can be scanned once per day.
Tap the Goomba or Koopa Troopa amiibo figures at the Minigame Pack selection screen in Minigame Match or Championship Battles for a shortcut to unlocking the Goomba Minigame Pack or the Koopa Troopa Pack.
Mario Party: The Top 100 is due out for 3DS on November 10. It will feature mini-games from previous Mario Party home console games.
A listing on Amazon Japan reveals the file size for Sonic Forces on Switch. If you plan on downloading the game, 7.042GB of space is required.

Did you know that it’s Nintendo’s birthday today? Really, it is! Nintendo was established way back on September 23, 1889. The big N has certainly come a long way from the days of love hotels and making hanafuda cards.
Whereas last year was a bit of a down year for Nintendo, things couldn’t look brighter for the company. Switch is firing on all cylinders, 3DS is still receiving some love, Nintendo has its mobile games, and they’re dipping their toes into new areas like the partnership with Universal for Super Nintendo World. It’s definitely a good time to be a Nintendo fan.

Just like in Japan, Bandai Namco is including content from the first Dragon Ball Xenoverse in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Switch and offering it in in the west. The process of gaining access is just slightly different.
For the Japanese release, Bandai Namco had the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 content built right in. Once you cleared certain sections of the story in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, you’re able to access segments from the original by talking to a particular NPC. But from what we understand, for the western version, you first need to download the a pack from the eShop.
Next week, in conjunction with the Super NES Classic Edition, Prima will be publishing a special guide. It’ll come in two flavor: the standard version and a collector’s edition.
Over on its Twitter page, Prima offered a first look at the collector’s edition, including the slipcase. We’re also able to get a look inside the book itself. Check out the full video below.
