Nintendo has translated the full Super Mario World / Yoshi’s Island interview we saw snippets of in Japanese earlier this week. Out of all of Nintendo’s interviews for the SNES Classic Edition thus far, this one might be the most interesting.

Takashi Tezuka, Shigefumi Hino, and Hisashi Nogami were all present to talk about the SNES games. They chatted about how Yoshi came to be, how he ended up getting a starring role in his own title, the visual style for Yoshi’s Island, and a bunch more. We also have the official translation about the original plan to have Mario hitting Yoshi when his tongue sticks out.

Continue on below for the full interview with Tezuka, Hino, and Nogami.

Update: Full patch notes added below. Nintendo also fixed a couple of issues and made adjustments to fighters and ARMS.

Original: ARMS already received a big update this month in the form of the Lola Pop patch, adding the new character and more. Just a couple of weeks later, another patch has been issued. Players can download version 3.1.0.

One thing we’ve noticed is that the Sparring Ring has been added in as a fully playable stage, and can be selected in Ranked Match. We’re waiting on the full patch notes, and we’ll add them in here when they’re live.

Nintendo is readying another new update for ARMS. All signs point to it being available tomorrow in Japan, which should be the evening of September 28 (today) in North America.

Nintendo is being pretty darn cryptic about the update, but we’re not expecting it to be as big as the 3.0 patch. Still, it sounds like a stage is involved here. Nintendo basically said “that stage” for matches will be open to the public.

We’ll keep an eye out for additional details as they’re made available.

System: Switch
Release date: September 22, 2017
Developer: Dimps
Publisher: Bandai Namco

The illustrious Dragon Ball franchise by the brilliant mind of Akira Toriyama still goes strong today over 30 years later thanks to its unforgettable characters, world, and expansions into realms of other media such as films, video games, and more, including its brand new anime follow-up Dragon Ball Super. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 takes the core concept and canon of the series and adds a twist to it, giving players a “what if” scenario by having them right the wrongs of altered history as a Time Patroller – a character which you’ll create before starting the game to serve as your primary avatar on your journey through time. Unlike other titles that have you reliving the show, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 feels like a fresh take on the series.

During a live stream on Niconico earlier today, Inti Creates unveiled plans for a new Blaster Master Zero update. The company plans to bring out version 1.4 next week.

The big highlight of the update is a new Boss Blast mode, which is basically boss rush. Boss Blast mode is for one player, but Multi Boss Blast is also included in the Switch version for two players.

13AM Games, the developer behind Runbow, is hard at work on its next project which is confirmed to be an entirely new IP. Fans will be happy to hear that it’s planned for Switch. 13AM Games boss Alex Rushdy shared the news in a Famitsu interview posted today.

While we wait on the new game, Runbow will be ported to Switch in early 2018. Rushdy told Famitsu that he’s glad he can satisfy those who have been asking for it to be released on the new console. Since 13AM Games is busy with its new title, Runbow’s Switch port is primarily being handled by Stage Clear Studios.

Two new characters have joined Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Call from Mighty No. 9 as well as Joule from Azure Striker Gunvolt are now being distributed in Japan. Each piece of DLC is priced at 200 yen.

Both characters should be going up in North America and Europe tomorrow as well. We’re unable to check the 3DS eShop, but we assume Call and Joule are also available in that version.
