Below are the full patch notes:

In Masahiro Sakurai’s 609th column for Famitsu, the Super Smash Bros. director talked in-depth about the thought process behind staging characters for visual appeal. He also revealed the reason for switching up Min Min’s input methods in Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overwatch - Tracer

The developers of Overwatch have weighed in on the characters they’d like to see join the Smash Bros. roster.

During a Reddit AMA yesterday, director Jeff Kaplan and lead hero designer Geoff Goodman were asked about which characters from Blizzard’s team-based shooter they’d like to see join the game. Kaplan pointed to Tracer while Goodman went with Doomfist.

Their full comments are as follows:

Later this week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be hosting its latest Spirit Board event. Blue spirits will be featured, and by defeating them, you can earn more gold than you normally would.

The latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event goes live on July 31. Just like previous ones, it’ll last for three days.

This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, we start off with a melodramatic anime opening about Galen traveling during the pandemic. Galen has survived (for now…) and has horrible puns and impressions on Min Min in Smash Bros., while Oni Dino can’t get enough Xenoblade. We then cover recent news, including new details on the soon-to-be-released Paper Mario: The Origami King. Will Origami King avoid gameplay flaws of the past two entries, Sticker Star and Color Splash? We also discuss what frustrations long-time fans feel with modern Paper Mario games. Is the player expectation VS developer intent unfair? And lastly, we share some embarrassing things we did as kids, inspired by video games.

Check out links and timestamps below, and come hang out.
