Last week’s issue of Famitsu had a different type of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate interview. While we’re typically used to hearing from director Masahiro Sakurai, the magazine caught up with two people heavily involved with the music side of things. Hideki Sakamoto (who wrote the main theme song) and Erina Koga (who sung the main theme in Japanese) chatted with Famitsu. There was talk about the creation of the music, what the recording session was like, and more.
You can read our full translation of the interview below. We do also have a brief comment from Sakurai as well who commented on his approach to the main theme this time around.

PSA: Playing as Piranha Plant in Smash Bros. Ultimate’s All-Star Mode can corrupt save data
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo added Piranha Plant to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tonight. It’s not just a new playable character, as it can also be used across various game modes. However, you may want to hold off on playing as Piranha Plant in one specific mode.
We’re hearing that save data may become corrupt after going through All-Star Mode with the latest roster addition. It’s currently unclear why this is happening, but multiple player reports are out there. Nintendo will likely be preparing a fix very soon, so it’d be best to hold off until a patch is made available.

Reminders: Last chance to register Smash Bros. Ultimate for Piranha Plant DLC, Wii Shop Channel closure
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii Shop Channel | 0 comments
A couple of things are happening in the world of Nintendo within the next few days. Two deadlines are just around for corner.
If you’ve bought the physical version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now is your last chance to register the game on My Nintendo for free Piranha Plant DLC. Again, you need to do so by January 31. Nintendo will email you a code to redeem the DLC for future use a bit after the game has been registered. If you bought the digital version, no further action is needed.
Also, on January 30, the Wii Shop Channel is closing for good. Nintendo already removed the ability to add Wii Points last year, but if you have any extra points lying around, you’ll need to spend them before January 30. This move is also accompanied by the end of remaining video-on-demand services on Wii.
