Ultra Street Fighter II was seen by Capcom as a sort of test run for the Switch – the company has said that its sales numbers would influence their future support for the platform. The game has exceeded Capcom’s expectation, selling about 450,000 copies worldwide so far. However, it seems Capcom is not quite done testing the Switch yet. During a Q&A session at their recent financial results meeting for the past quarter, someone inquired about Capcom’s future support for the Switch given Ultra Street Fighter II’s success. Here’s what Capcom had to say:
The Nintendo Switch seems to be doing very well, and we look forward to further growth in its install base. Beginning with Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Nintendo Switch Ver. for Japan, we are evaluating how we will support this platform in the future.
The next Pokken Tournament DX character trailer is here – this time, the focus is on Charizard. Give it a watch:
Round 1 of the Battle at the Beach Voting Gauntlet in Fire Emblem Heroes is over.
Gaius, Robin, Leo, and Corrin were the winners for the first round and get to move onto Round 2. If you supported a winning team in the first round, you get a bonus of 500 feathers and keep fighting for the same team in this round. If you were on the losing side, you get no bonus, but get to pick a new team.
The second round for the Battle at the Beach Voting Gauntlet will last until August 5th.
Koei Tecmo has updated their official Japanese website for Fire Emblem Warriors with some new screenshots showing off the the recently announced characters, Female Robin and Cordelia. There were also other screenshots uploaded to the website showing off some the game’s mechanics such as weapons, movement, tactics, and bonds.
You can check out the new screenshots below in the gallery.

Update (8/2): The new Pokemon GO update is now officially live.
Original (7/29): Niantic is rolling out another update for Pokemon GO. Players should soon find that version 1.39.1 is available for iOS, and version 0.69.1 for Android.
The latest update mainly addresses a few bugs and issues. It also brings back Spark to appraise Pokemon for Team Instinct Trainers. Players recently noticed that Spark went missing and have been wondering when he would return.
The full Pokemon GO patch notes are as follows:
- Spark has returned to appraise Pokémon for Team Instinct Trainers.
- Resolved a motivation decay bug impacting Pokémon with less than 3000 CP.
- Resolved a bug causing Pokémon GO to freeze after consuming potions too quickly.
- Resolved a bug causing Pokémon GO to freeze after all 6 Pokémon faint during a Raid Battle.
- Resolved an issue causing iPhone 6 devices to crash.
One of the more interesting areas in Super Mario Odyssey is New Donk City. Mario finds himself in a location he has never visited previously in one of his platformer outings, that being a realistic city with humans.
Today’s Japanese Twitter update for Super Mario Odyssey confirms a neat little nugget about New Donk City. The citizens here are known as “New Donkers”, interestingly enough. This was suggested in Super Mario Odyssey’s in-game map brochure, but Nintendo officially confirms the term.
With New Donk City being a reference to New York City, that does make sense. New York City residents are often called New Yorkers after all.
