Specifically, we now know about each of the new playable characters Koei Tecmo will be adding to the game. A total of nine characters are coming across the three different DLC packs, including Azura, Tharja, and more.
Here’s the full rundown of each DLC pack:

With yesterday’s Switch firmware update, Nintendo finally introduced the ability to capture video. There are a couple of caveats, however. You can only use the feature with a few select Nintendo games, and you’re limited to just 30 seconds of gameplay.
Kotaku UK spoke with two sources who say that Nintendo has more in mind for video recording on Switch. The company’s first goal is to have all first-party games supporting the functionality, as well as titles tied to Nintendo properties. In other words, titles like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Fire Emblem Warriors are the priority at the moment.
As promised, the full version of Super Mario Odyssey’s main theme has been added to Japanese iTunes. The complete Jump Up, Super Star! song can be accessed here. It clocks in at just over four minutes.
Nintendo hasn’t said if and when the song will be available outside of Japan on iTunes. We’ll keep you updated if we hear anything officially.
Update: Nintendo World Report clarified that the motion controls aren’t for gyro aiming. Instead, you can shake the right Joy-Con to do melee attacks or Glory Kills. The setting only seems to appear if you’re playing with the Joy-Con.
Original: Bethesda originally said that Doom wouldn’t have motion controls on Switch. Perhaps the publisher had a change of heart, as new evidence indicates that the feature is in the game after all.
In a now-removed video, the settings menu for Doom on Switch was shown. Before it was taken down, a screenshot was snapped that clearly shows an option for motion controls. It wouldn’t make much sense for it to be there if the functionality wasn’t planned, right? We’ll have to see how this plays out, but things are looking good for motion controls with Doom on Switch.
Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.
As previously mentioned, a demo for Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique 3 – Styling Star is out now on the European 3DS eShop. Watch some footage below.
Microids is slowly rolling out the Syberia games for Switch. The first entry in the series will be available tomorrow, October 20. Confirmation has also been given that Syberia 2 is slated for November 30.
Syberia 3 is also planned for Switch. The game has not yet been dated, however.
