Mario Tennis Aces

Update: (1/15): The validity of this datamine has been brought into question. Currently it seems that the news was fabricated, so take what you’ve heard with a big grain of salt.


Original (1/14): After datamining Mario Tennis Aces, fans have discovered what could be a huge development for the game. An unexpected character might be joining the fray – and it’s one not from the Mario universe. We know that some folks are sensitive to spoilers concerning unannounced content, so continue on below if you’re interested in reading up on the scoop.

Game Informer recently spoke with the developers behind Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey. The publication caught up with Yoshihiko Maekawa and Akira Otani, the producers at AlphaDream and Nintendo respectively (among others). Maekawa and Otani commented on why the latest 3DS remake isn’t on Switch, why Partners in Time wasn’t revisited, Luigi’s role in the series, and more.

We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting excerpts from the interview below. Find the full discussion here.

A new wave of games are coming soon to the Nintendo Selects line. Super Mario Maker, Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, and Star Fox 64 3D are the latest additions.

These titles will become a part of the Nintendo Selects line on February 4. When that happens, their prices will drop down to $19.99 officially.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is officially coming west, Bandai Namco has revealed. The news was just announced during the Dragon Ball Games Super Showcase.

For those who missed it as part of the Japanese announcement a few months ago, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is a “super card battle adventure”. The North American and European launch will be taking place on the same day – April 5.

Here’s the first English trailer:

Rocket League has just gained full cross-play support. The game has entered the PlayStation Cross-Play Beta program, meaning that if you’re a Switch user, you can have a match against those on the PlayStation 4. Of course, the feature is still in effect for Xbox One and Steam players as well.

Cross-platform parties are also still coming, and the system is expected to go live as part of the first update of 2019. This will enable players “to partner up with friends on any platform with the push of a few buttons.”

Disney Interactive unexpectedly pulled the plug on the Disney Infinity franchise back in 2016. There was plenty planned for the series, including another entry. Unfortunately, Disney Infinity 4.0 just wasn’t meant to be.

More than two years after the franchise was cancelled, we have a look at Disney Infinity 4.0 thanks to some pre-alpha footage that surfaced today. We learn that it may have carried a “Kingdoms” subtitle and Yoda was to help Aladdin defeat Star Wars droids in Agrabah.

Here’s a look at the pre-alpha build:

Japanese website Game Watch recently sat down for an interview with three key figures from SEGA and M2 handling the SEGA AGES collection on Switch.
