Alongside Dragon Quest XI’s launch in Japan, Square Enix teamed up with Nintendo for a special New 2DS XL. The system has a special design modeled after the series’ Liquid Metal Slime monster. Take a closer look at the system below with a few photos.
Nintendo unveiled the amiibo functionality for Metroid: Samus Returns this week. All four figures will work with the game – the original Smash Bros. amiibo and the new ones specifically made for this title.
Some of the functionality isn’t that big of a deal. On the other hand, some of it is. One of the big features being scrutinized is the Fusion mode. By scanning the new, squishy Metroid amiibo, you’ll receive access to the mode that provides a new level of difficulty and Samus’ Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion.
Nintendo had plenty of Splatoon 2-related activities taking place at San Digeo Comic-Con 2017 last week. The company recaps everything that took place in the video below.

TIME caught up with 4J Studios CTO Richard Reavy to learn more about the update. Reavy was able to explain how the 1080p resolution was added to Minecraft on Switch.
Reavy pointed out how futher optimization was needed that Minecraft on Switch could handle 1080p without issues. With more time for testing, 4J Studios believed they could get it done.
