As a new weekend dawns upon us, so does a new Spirit Board event within Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — this time themed as “Taking the Lead”.
The themed event is planned to run all weekend and will include Spirits Black Shadow, Blood Falcon, and Jody Summer.

Nintendo has pulled back the curtain on the latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event. This week, the theme is “Taking the Lead” where spirits from racing games will be appearing. By defeating them, you’ll earn more Spirit Points than usual.

The Spirit Board event should kick off on Friday. Look for it to last a few days as usual.

Nintendo Dream published a large interview with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai about a month ago. The Japanese magazine was back at it again for its latest issue, catching up with the developer once more about various aspects concerning the Switch game.

We’ve prepared a complete translation of the new interview, which you can find below. And if you missed it, you can catch up on the first part from last month’s issue here.

As we heard in the latest Nintendo Direct, Persona 5’s Joker is set to be added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the game’s first true DLC character by the end of April. As we know, each DLC fighter comes with a new stage and music as well.
