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.

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.

Bethesda has slowly rolled out information about Doom’s performance on Switch. Yesterday we found out that the game runs at 30 frames per second, at least officially anyway. Rolling Stone, who shared that information, managed to obtain some additional details from Bethesda as well.
First, Doom’s resolution is 720p on Switch. That’s regardless of which mode you’re playing in – docked or portable. Both are the same.
Bethesda also says that Doom won’t have any motion controls on Switch. The functionality is being added for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but it won’t be present in Doom.
