Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Season Pass 2 Bardock

Bandai Namco has made a couple of new announcements for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, as the game is getting a Season Pass 2 which includes brand new DLC based on the “Bardock: The Father of Goku” TV special.

With the Bardock DLC, players will be able to “experience the intense battles fought by Bardock and his compatriots when they invaded planets as members of the Frieza Force.” The story “will culminate in the tragic fate that befell the Saiyan race at the hands of Frieza himself”. Players will even be able to explore parts of Planet Vegeta, including a Saiyan community, the Frieza Force base, and more.

Konami have just announced surprise remasters for the first two titles in the Suikoden series in the form of Suikoden I&II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars. The title is set to come to Switch in 2023 and will mark the first time a mainline Suikoden title appears on a Nintendo platform.

The game is a remaster of Suikoden and Suikoden II, originally released on Playstation in 1995 and 1998, though this title also seems to be drawing inspiration from Genso Suikoden I & II, a re-release of those first two games released on PSP in 2006. This new collection promises a number of new additions, including HD visuals, an improved area map, a conversation log, auto-saves and more.

Here is a full overview for the title via Steam:

A new Splatoon 3 update just dropped, with Nintendo issuing version 1.1.1.

This is a notable patch as there are changes and fixes to various aspects of the game. Splatfests, player controls, multiplayer, Salmon Run, and single-player have all been touched up in one way or another.

One aspect worth pointing to specifically is that Nintendo adjusted the rate of Tricolor Battle occurrence and from the defending team’s perspective, they will trigger somewhat less frequently than before. However, Nintendo says the change is “temporary”.

The full patch notes for the Splatoon 3 version 1.1.1 update are as follows:

Earthworm Jim, Alisia Dragoon, Beyond Oasis Switch Online

A few more SEGA Genesis games are now available on Nintendo Switch Online, as Earthworm Jim, Alisia Dragoon, and Beyond Oasis have just been added. All three can be accessed if you’re subscribed to the Expansion Pack tier.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection online

Capcom provided an update on Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection at the Tokyo Game Show today, and the big news shared is that online functions are planned. In addition to online battles, it will be possible to trade Chips with others.

Another element was also introduced. In the collection, a 3D MegaMan.EXE will guide you through the game selection screen and gallery, complete with voiced reactions.

Return to Monkey Island

It’s time for the latest North American Nintendo Download report for the week of September 15, 2022. The latest releases include Bear and Breakfast, Return to Monkey Island, and more.

Here’s the full lineup:

Splatoon 3

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

PowerWash Simulator

Square Enix announced a slew of new Switch games this week, and the pattern continues with PowerWash Simulator.

The soothing sim title, developed by FuturLab, launched this past summer on Xbox platforms and PC. The power of relaxation is placed into the hands of players, and they can unlock new tools and upgrades to help clean more efficiently.

Yakuza Switch

Despite some fans hoping it would happen, the Yakuza series has stayed off Switch. That doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, with executive producer and Ryu Ga Gotoku studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama now weighing in.

Yokoyama spoke with GameSpot about the situation, explaining that the two are a mismatch. He feels Switch is considered to be more family-friendly in contrast to the underground attitude of the Yakuza series.
