Kirby Star Allies

Shortly after launch, Nintendo and HAL Laboratory added new Dream Friends to Kirby Star Allies with an update. Marx, Gooey, and character set “Rick & Kine & Coo” all joined the game.

As we know, these aren’t the only new Dream Friends planned for Kirby Star Allies. Nintendo promised that additional ones would be added in the future. Thanks to some datamining, we now know who they are.

After Nintendo issued Super Mario Odyssey version 1.2.0, dataminers uncovered upcoming costumes for the game. A few of these have been added thus far, including the Satellaview Helmet and Satellaview Suit, Batting Helmet and Baseball Uniform, and Topper Hat and Topper Suit.

Last night, images leaked of what looks like the rest of the costumes Nintendo will be bringing out in the future following a new datamine. If you’re interested in getting a closer look, continue on below. 

Kirby Star Allies World Map

Kirby Star Allies made a pretty significant change to the World Map. In previous games, a board-style map was employed. This time, however, you can freely move around and you’re not on rails.

Kirby Star Allies sequence director Tatsuya Kamiyama recently offered some insight into the change and the team’s approach to the World Map in general. Read what Kamiyama shared on the subject below.

During the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s financial results briefing, current president Tatsumi Kimishima and upcoming president Shuntaro Furukawa fielded around a dozen questions. There was talk about Kimishima’s retirement, wanting to reach new people with Switch, continued 3DS support, interest in China, and a whole lot more.

Currently, the Q&A transcription is only in Japanese. However, Dualshockers has provided a summary, which we’ve rounded up below. We’ll also bring you more on this when the English translation is live.

There are many, many Switch games to look forward to, but there’s one in particular that’s a very big mystery. Announced at E3 last year, Pokemon is coming to the console in some fashion. Aside from the fact that it’s a core RPG experience, almost nothing is known.

Since little has been said about Pokemon’s first true experience on Switch, that leaves the doors open to endless possibilities. And hopes and dreams!

What are you expecting out of Pokemon on Switch? What’s a feature that you’d personally like to see? Do you believe it’ll launch this year or in 2019? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

On Monday, Nintendo submitted several different documents to the FCC. They all appear to be tied to a new version of the left Joy-Con. Though the controller is never mentioned by name, it’s clearly shown in photos from a couple of the documents.

Here are those photos in question:
