Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

Nintendo Everything recently had the chance to speak with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin director Nal and CG artist Koichi. Although the team at Edelweiss typically doesn’t pursue sequels, we couldn’t help but ask if we could see a follow-up to the Switch game one day. It’s impossible to deny Sakuna’s strong reception and sales, and we already know that it’s doing pretty well having sold over 500,000 copies in less than a month.

When asked if we could see more from the Sakuna universe, Nal had this to say:

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack

System: Switch
Release date: December 3, 2020
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco


If you’ve ever longed to control a pair of sentient taiko drums and fight alongside Marie Antoinette to prevent the space-time continuum from collapsing on itself, then the Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure games were custom-made for you. Once exclusive to the 3DS in Japan, Bandai Namco has now brought its role playing taiko adventures to the west for the first time. Taiko rhythm gameplay and RPG mechanics might seem like an odd blend at first blush, so a major question naturally arises: are these roleplaying spinoffs an offbeat adventure, or do they stick to a solid rhythm? Let’s strike up a drum line and find out.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been updated to version 10.0.0. The main highlight here is the limited-time Sephiroth Challenge, which was just announced during today’s presentation with Masahiro Sakurai.

Below are the official patch notes:

Nintendo has put out an official announcement recapping all of the news from today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Sephiroth hosted by Masahiro Sakurai. If you’re interested in learning more about the upcoming DLC, read up on the press release below.

Today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation with Masahiro Sakurai and Sephiroth has ended. If you missed any portion of the broadcast, you can catch up on the full thing below.

Today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation with Masahiro Sakurai largely focused on Sephiroth joining the game as the next DLC fighter. However, there was a bit of other news as well.

Like previous broadcasts with Sakurai, the latest set of Mii Fighter costumes were unveiled. The lineup includes Barret (Outfit/Gunner), Tifa (Outfit/Brawler), Aerith (Outfit/Swordfighter), Chocobo (Hat), and Geno (Gunner).

All of these Mii Fighter costumes drop alongside the release of Sephiroth. They’re priced at $0.75 each.

Sephiroth was announced at The Game Awards 2020 last week, and we’ll now be getting a proper look at the fighter during a presentation with director Masahiro Sakurai. The broadcast begins at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe.

You can watch the presentation as it happens below. We’ll have our regular coverage going during and after the event.
