This month’s CoroCoro has started to leak, and has provided substantial information about Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee.

The big takeaway is that Mega Evolutions are officially in the game. Players can activate the feature when they have the Key Stone and the Pokemon’s associated Mega Stone.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has the first report on Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. The magazine provides us with a bunch of new details. We’ve rounded up the tidbits below, courtesy of Gematsu. 

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Update: Nintendo has reverted the song title to its original name from last week. Make of that what you will.


Original: You may recall that, last week, Nintendo shared a new Smash Bros. Ultimate music. The last piece added to the site was a Galaga medley.

Fast forward a week later, and the title of that medley has been updated. No one can say why at the moment, but it may very well point to a brand new character – who could be revealed tomorrow.

Nintendo Labo is back on the road with a new kit. The Labo Vehicle Kit puts you behind the wheel of a mean modifying machine and also puts your wallet back in peril. With Labo sales firing on all cylinders and a new kit just around the corner, what does this mean for the future of Nintendo’s cardboard collaboration?

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Polygon has published some new comments from Captain Toad game director Shinya Hiratake and producer Koichi Hayashida. The two discussed a variety of topics, including why it was brought back for Switch and 3DS, its future, and more.

Here’s a roundup of what was shared:
