Yesterday, Bethesda brought three classic Doom games to Switch. Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 can all be found on the eShop. These launches were great news for fans, but it didn’t come without a bit of controversy.

In order to play the classic Doom games, players have been required to log in to a Bethesda.net account. It’s far from the worst thing in the world, but some viewed it as an inconvenience while others simply weren’t interested in signing up. Thankfully, a fix is on the way.

Hero is the next DLC character joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Aside from a vague summer release window, Nintendo hasn’t said when he’ll be joining the game. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill, which has ranged from a reveal early next week, to the end of Evo 2019, to possibly the start of August. At this point, no one really knows.

One interesting development is that a series of new Dragon Quest spirits have now been spotted on Nintendo’s servers. When Hero is added, he’ll be joined by these new spirits.

Here’s a look at what’s been found as of now:

Fire Emblem Heroes has replaced the male voice actor of Byleth, and the same could end up happening with Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This all came about after Christopher Niosi, who played the character’s role, admitted to abuse in a lengthy Tumblr post. That can be found in full here.

Niosi was originally featured in a recent trailer for Fire Emblem Heroes. However, the credit disappeared from the character page, and a new trailer has since been uploaded with re-recorded lines and a credit given to Zach Aguilar.

As things stand, Niosi is still featured in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While some fans think Nintendo may end up replacing him in the Switch game, we’ll have to wait and see if that actually happens.
