We knew that Pokemon Home would be releasing sometime this month – we just didn’t know when. Despite the lack of an announcement, the app is out now. It can be found as a digital download on the eShop.

Pokemon Home is free to download. However, by subscribing to the service, the number of Pokemon that can be deposited increases from 30 to 6,000, the number of Pokemon that can be placed in the Wonder Box and GTS at one time is expanded (mobile version only), you can host your own Room Trades (mobile version only), and you’ll be able to use the Judge function right within the app.

To download Pokemon Home, you’ll need 707MB of free space.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield were affected by substantial leaks prior to their release. Information was shared online a couple of weeks before launch, and details about unannounced creatures in the game were made public ahead of time.

VG247 has now obtained a statement from Nintendo about the situation. At least some of the leaks stemmed from the Portuguese website FNintendo, as one of the site’s reviewers had received an early copy and decided to leak images online. Nintendo says that it will no longer be working with FNintendo moving forward.

The full statement reads:

It’s been awhile since we last saw The Wonderful 101. After the game launched on Wii U in 2013 and perhaps didn’t reach as many people as it could have, fans were hoping that a port would end up on Switch. That’s finally happening, as PlatinumGames recently announced a Kickstarter campaign to revisit The Wonderful 101 and release it on new platforms, including Switch. It took less than thirty minutes for the funding goal to be reached.

Prior to the announcement, Nintendo Everything spoke with director Hideki Kamiya and studio head Atsushi Inaba. One of the first questions we asked is what made PlatinumGames want to revisit The Wonderful 101.

In response, Kamiya told us:

During the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Finals, new information about the fighting game was announced.

Season 3 and FighterZ Pass 3 are officially happening with even more DLC characters. Five additions are planned, starting with Kefla at the end of February. Goku (Ultra Instinct), who was previously announced, will follow this summer.

Those who purchase FighterZ Pass 3 will get two days of early access to each character. That means with Kefla, you’ll be able to start playing on February 26 instead of February 28.

Here’s a trailer for FighterZ Pass 3:

In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai wrote up his latest column in the Japanese magazine. Many of his pieces as of late haven’t been related to the Switch game, but seeing as Byleth has now been added, he felt he should publish a few words on the character’s creation.

We published a brief summary of Sakurai’s column a few days ago. Now, however, we have a full translation – which does include some quick mentions of Smash Bros. having too many Fire Emblem characters and sword-users.

Here’s the full piece:

During the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Finals today, new features were unveiled for the fighting game.

One of the upcoming elements players can expect is the “Z Assist Select” system. Producer Tomoko Hiroki explained that it will be possible to choose three Assist Attacks for a character, allowing for “new ways to connect combos and build strategies, giving users a broader way to enjoy fights.”

Hiroki also touched on other changes. Another feature is in the works that will “prevent one sided games caused by specific powerful attacks and combinations as well as adjustments that give users a chance to turn the tables, even if they only have one character left.” That’s on top of an updated UI as well.

Here’s the full rundown from Hiroki:
