Smash Bros. Ultimate update will remove offensive Native American stereotype from Mr. Game & Watch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, fans have noticed that Mr. Game & Watch has a new forward smash. While it was an attempt at being true to Nintendo’s old LCD game handhelds, it unfortunately involves an offensive stereotype.
Back in 1982, Nintendo made a cowboy game titled Fire Attack in which players defend a wooden fort from screaming Native Americans who wield burning torches and wear feathers in their hair. Mr. Game & Watch has a move referencing the game. After it was brought to the company’s attention, Nintendo has vowed to release an update removing the feather from Mr. Game & Watch in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Mario Bros. animated movie apparently planned to be in theaters by 2022
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Today has been an interesting day for the Super Mario Bros. movie. There hasn’t been a ton of news about the film itself, but we’ve heard Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri talking about the project.
All of today’s comments came from a Variety report. The site snuck in an interesting little tidbit that has since been making the rounds, specifically regarding a release window. Variety states that the Mario movie “will be in theaters by 2022.”
Nintendo nor Illumination have not provided an official release window. But since Variety was speaking with Meledandri, perhaps the publication was given that timeline directly.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai normally doesn’t tweet in English, but he made the rare exception today. A pair of messages address the DLC situation surrounding the Switch game.
Sakurai confirmed that the DLC lineup for Smash Bros. Ultimate is complete and the selection was done entirely by Nintendo. With Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, you may recall that a ballot was held so that fan feedback could be collected in determining how to proceed with certain characters.
