It’s that time as Nintendo has officially ended Miiverse’s services on 3DS & Wii U. As of now if you try to connect to Miiverse, you will get a server error saying that the service has ended.

The homepage for the official Miiverse website shows this image below basically saying the same thing about the end of Miiverse and also information about how your downloadable post history will be sent to your email if you sent a request.

As of right now, Nintendo has no plans for a new social media service on the Switch to replace Miiverse but these last 5 years of Miiverse were something special. Thank you Miiverse and goodbye.

Lola Pop, the last big ARMS character, was added to the game in mid-September. The company could be gearing up for the next fighter and stage.

The image above was posted to the Japanese ARMS Twitter account just a short while ago. The message itself doesn’t really say anything too interesting, but it’s the image that we’re more interested in. This forest / ruins area could be a sign of what’s to come for ARMS.

We thought that Nintendo was teasing a new ARMS stage in August. Eventually, as we know, Lola Pop made it into ARMS along with Via Dolce.

Game Informer recently went hands-on with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. As part of that, the site spoke with a couple of developers. Executive director Tetsuya Takahashi and producer Koh Kojima both had some rather interesting things to say about the big RPG and more. The two discussed Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s change in art style, teases pertaining to relations to past Xeno games, the size of the world, how long it’ll be, and Monolith Soft’s future.

You can read Takahashi and Kojima’s comments about these topics below. Game Informer has more with the developers and an in-depth preview of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 here.

It’s been somewhat of a mystery as to when The Champions’ Ballad DLC for Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be launching. The only concrete window Nintendo has given is “Holiday 2017”.

The European Switch eShop seems to have a clearer answer. On a listing for the DLC, Nintendo says that The Champions’ Ballad is planned for December.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s new DLC pack features a new dungeon, an original story, and more new challenges. Hopefully we’ll be getting more details in the weeks ahead.

Ubisoft published its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year for 2017-2018. It was for the period ending September 30.

One notable excerpt from the report is for the breakdown of sales by platform. During the sixth month period, Switch accounted for 12 percent of all Ubisoft sales. That number increased to 19 percent for the quarter between July and September, buoyed by Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. That number pretty much never surpassed more than a few percentage points during the Wii U era, so it’s certainly a good sign.

Ubisoft also said today that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was one of the games that helped drive the company’s growth.
