Around a dozen new mystery SKUs have popped up in GameStop’s internal database. Each one is simply labeled as “Available SKU”, so there is unfortunately no additional information about what each product might be.

Here’s a snapshot taken from the database:

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

There’s still more content planned for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Aside from more costumes that will be free to all players, new DLC is in the works featuring the Fantastic Four.

An apparent datamine may give some additional insight regarding other possible additions for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. It seems that there could be some additional story content in the pipeline, for example.

Here’s a summary of what was supposedly uncovered:

One of the earliest announcements made for Wii U was Metro: Last Light. That release ended up being cancelled in the end, but the first-person shooter IP may now finally be making an appearance on Nintendo’s console with Metro Redux for Switch.

Metro Redux was first rumored for the Big N’s platform after a listing popped up on a Portuguese retailer website. Then more significantly, the European ratings board PEGI just added in a rating yesterday. Those two pages combined all but suggest that an announcement is imminent. 

Metro Redux bundles together Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. There were technical and gameplay improvements, including enhanced animations. It’s unclear what exactly we can expect from the Switch version, though we’ve included some additional information and a trailer below. 

A few months ago, Nintendo Dream was able to interview some of the developers behind Dragon Quest XI S. Towards the end of discussion, the Japanese magazine asked about Hero’s inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Producer Hokuto Okamoto, development director Masato Yagi, and director Takeshi Uchikawa all shared a few words about the Square Enix roster edition. Twitter user Sephazon has prepared a translation of the excerpt, which you can find below.

Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand has an original mechanic that goes beyond the actual gameplay. Through a light sensor included with the cartridge, players are able to charge up solar weapons by going outside.

Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear fame was behind Boktai, and he actually had ever greater ambitions for the GBA title. Had he been able to follow through with his vision, it would have shipped with a sensor measuring how your breath smelled.

Here’s a recent translation from Shmuplations that was published in a 2003 issue of Nintendo Dream:

It’s the last episode of NEP of the decade! Join Oni Dino and Galen as they give their personal awards across the nightmare-scape that is gaming in 2019. Biggest surprise, biggest embarrassment/controversy, best new character, and so much more. The gang employs a process of elimination that requires bargains, arguments, concessions and a whole lot of passive aggressive love. What will win? How will we compromise? Who won’t make it out alive?

If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

We recently spoke with Keisuke Kikuchi, the producer of the Fairy Tail RPG heading to Switch in 2020. Aside from discussing topics like how long the game will be and talk about DLC, Kikuchi also expressed interest in wanting to turn this into a franchise when we asked about the possibility of original characters.

Here’s our full discussion with Kikuchi:

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga developer TT Games has spoken to Nintendo Everything about the game’s Switch version.

According to the studio’s James Burgon, the first build “ran like a dream” on the console. Burgon further said that he and the rest of the team “really want to do it justice on that platform.”

Burgon’s full words:
