Final Two Characters
A cinematic opens up in a grand fighting arena where Little Mac from Nintendo's Punch-Out series has been punching his opponent to a corner and suddenly gets hit back in the face. His rival is then revealed to be Ken Masters from Street Fighter series.

Turning up the heat of the fight, Ken releases a Hadoken that Lil' Mac barely escapes and from behind the audience a pair of glowing eyes silently observes. He ends the fight with one of his finishing moves, sending his adversary off the ring.

The individual from the shadows now heads towards the ring and leaps from above to land directly on Ken but he moves at the last moment. The challenger with his fiery wrath is now revealed to be Incineroar from the Pokémon franchise.

Avoiding a few moves thrown at him, Incineroar hurls Ken on the ring ropes and throws him in the air to perform a series of wrestling moves on him (much like the ones fellow Street Fighter Zangief would use) before finishing the match by sending Ken flying off.

Joining as an Echo Fighter, Ken is adapted for Ultimate based on the version of his character from Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Despite being fairly similar to Ryu, he appears to be faster in the game and deals damage in varied form than his counterpart.

Ken also has a different shaped Hadoken, tatsumaki senpuukyaku hurricane kick delivers more hits and his fiery heavy shoryuken uppercut can burn his challengers. The spinning Shinryuken and Shippu Jinraikyaku are among two of his final smash attacks.

Hailing from Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon games and the final evolution stage of Litten, Incineroar brings a bunch of pro-wrestling moves for SSBU. This buff cat-wrestler has debuted at number 74, also the last drafted to the brawl.

A creature of fire-based attacks, he specializes in carry out lariats and different suplexes on his rivals in a fight to crush them good. Besides, fire-type Pokémons are known to beat the living crap out of other from their race and he is here to throw his powerful punches.

Few of the long-running norms and rules are changed for SSBU as offering stage selection before choosing your players. Also, several characters that appear as Echo Fighters are not just simple re-skin of another character but their attack damage or speed features are slightly tweaked to make them stand out.

To get your hands on the Ultimate Special Edition at launch that comes in steelbook case, just place your pre-order for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate before December 6. It also comes with a stylish Super Smash Bros. themed Switch Pro controller.

Spirits Mode
You should also know that within the world of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, many characters have become "spirits" upon losing their forms and they will assist the players in fight. There is a huge list of them that you can assign as primary and support spirits.

These spirits will power up the fighters during a match or provide abilities like speed or strength. Mix matching them in certain way to compatible character would earn them extra perks to win a fight against selected opponents.

Piranha Plant Pipes Up!

Early Purchase Bonus Character | Piranha Plant
Another bit of news from today's Nintendo Direct that knocked everyone's socks off is the addition of the iconic common enemy Piranha Plant from the Super Mario Bros. platformer games as a playable fighter that will be rewarded as an early purchase bonus.

It is all mouth and teeth mostly lurking beneath warp pipes, will be available on February 2019 for free to those who would pre-order the digital version of the game or just register game card to their Switch devices before January 31, 2019.

Story Mode | World of Light

Titled World of Light, the trailer opens up with every character from the game has gathered to collectively face a threat that turns out to be a beam of light which disintegrates everyone's physical form and transformed them into spirits, except Kirby.

Masahiro Sakurai has saved up the story mode of the game for last and boy, what a spectacular blast it was. This new adventure is unlike any other you have seen in the entire franchise so far and delivered an intense twist by revealing at the end.

RELATED: Onimusha: Warlords Re-Release Announced

Although, the ever-expanding roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate made many players' dream come true but also some may have expected a much bigger surprise at the end rather than Ken as an echo fighter and newly added Incineroar.

The most saddened part with many was the exclusion of poor Waluigi, who will not even be in Assist Trophy segment. After the characters' utter humiliation at the E3 2018 trailer of the game, Waluigi fans were still rooting for him.

No Justice for Waluigi!

When Sakurai went on saying, "That’s all the fighters you’ll find in the game", he literally hit the last nail in the coffin. With that, any hopes of him popping out as a surprise reveal is gone. Perhaps, we can see him in DLC in future? Maybe!?

The way previous Nintendo Direct has featured so many characters in the beginning, some of us honestly thought, we are getting introduced to more of them but since Ultimate always aimed for bringing back the existing stars of the franchise, they really weren't interested to draft in new fighters.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Mod Adds Bowsette

After conquering the internet and Bowser's castle, Bowsette arrives on Hyrule in the new Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Mod.

The world of video games is not out of Bowsette craze just yet that started a few weeks back from a fan comic on DeviantArt. Courtesy of a fan-created mod, we already saw Bowsette as the final boss in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Don't think for a second that it stopped there, because after invading Bowser's castle, the Bowser-Princess Peach hybrid is now arriving on the mythical kingdom of Hyrule though a mod in action-adventure game Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is still under development.

If you are still scratching your head thinking who we are talking about here then you must have been asleep the past few weeks when this new phenomenon called Bowsette made her debut and took down the internet by storm as well as major porn sites.

Back in September, Nintendo introduced a new character Toadette in the Deluxe Edition of New Super Mario Bros. U, who could turn into a Princess Peach lookalike character with her unique features named Peachette by picking up the Super Crown.

What followed after this is that she became a hot topic trending everywhere and now she has come out of Super Mario Bros. universe to explore the domains of Hyrule as independent modder Lynard Killer decided to bring her in Breath of the Wild.

Although s not yet downloadable, interested viewers are encouraged to keep an eye on its page on GameBanana along with a few other mods for display. As for the one we are talking about, it is made with incredible precision within the boundaries he worked on.

Though it's not an actual PC game but this video of Bowsette replacing former hero Link in Breath of the Wild is a breath of fresh air for sure.

This new iteration of Bowsette tries to justice to the character and adds her noticeable attributes like a black dress, Bowser horns, spiked choker and of course the Super Crown while toning down the lewd elements that has been driving people nuts.

The character design and voice swap for her seems really good and nicely complements to the game's artistic surroundings. Aside from carrying her uniqueness, she wields a flaming sword in battle and the black attire she wears can go up in smoke if it catches fire, according to the included dress physics.

Even though Nintendo remains unfazed about their massive fan community hyping over a non-canonical character, people are getting more and more obsessed with her. It probably hurt them much if they at least appreciate the creativity among their fans for once for coming out with such new ideas.

Seeing the newly reformed crossover version of Bowser in a kingdom-saving role will probably inspire the modding communities to do more work like this and left the fans wondering what else will we be seeing her next, because if this continues, the possibilities are limitless.

Mega Man 11 Free Demo for Consoles

Currently available to download on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, the demo allows you a single level to explore, which is the pyramid stage you have seen so many times in promo videos and it will lead you to a final face-off against robot master Block Man.

He is apparently a small robot made of blocks who typically uses his ability to drop blocks on his opponents; in this particular case, on Mega Man. A power gear installed within him can transform him to massive size and immense strength.

The other part of the trailer focused on robot master Bounce Man rampaging on the Boing-Boing Park and other debutante robot bosses who will appear for the first time in this game.

Then there are Blast Man, Fuse Man Impact Man and Torch Man to spice things up on various stages throughout the game.

The first cinematic opens up with a shrouded person enters the fortress while it was raining outside and Mario's long-time companion Luigi wandering around inside Castle Dracula. He is chased by mummies, snakes and finally is faced by Death itself.

The scythe is swung and his soul leaves the body just before a whip chain hits Death on the face, revealing the attacker to be legendary vampire hunter Simon Belmont from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. However, by then it was too late for our little friend.

Shortly afterwards, when he was facing off against immortal vampire Dracula Vlad Tepes, the lord of the undead unleashed a fiery attack and Simon was about to get it, another valiant warrior arriving straight out of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night steps in.

Richter Belmont is the second recruit from Castlevania series, carrying the same legacy of his ancestor. Both has been in vampire hunting business and now has crossed over to take part in the biggest brawl fest of history.

Simon mostly relies on his iconic whip aside from his signature axe, cross, holy water and good-old fist. Although his weapon is slow when it comes to use it in a fight and leaves him vulnerable for attack, it does have an extended range than any other weapon from any character.

His earlier design has been polished and has gone through a little makeover. Except from animation, looks and voice, Simon and Ritcher has identical move sets, making the latter as an echo fighter of the former.

Chrom Joins The Battle!

Roy from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade previously got enlisted into SSBU and now Chrom from Fire Emblem Awakening joins the list due to fan-request. Even though his moves are based on Roy, he has some unique moves to be considered as a non-Echo.

Sci-fi action game series Metroid has been privileged by having two of their prominent figures; bounty hunter Samus and extraterrestrial dragon Ridley. Now, Dark Samus from Metroid Prime enters the fray as an echo fighter of her counterpart.

King K. Rool Comes Aboard!

The second introduction clip reveals a villainous figure from Donkey Kong Country, King K. Rool stomping over, menacing his long-time enemies Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. This alligator-like Kremling king loves bananas as much as his foes do.

To be honest, he appears to be more funny than scary on any level and throwing of his crown to opponents are a clear example of that. His polished design lets him fit perfectly along with other combatants now.

These new fighters are bringing along new stages themed on their own image from respective franchises. In terms of answering whether or not Echo Fighters are getting their own slots, it actually depends on your likings.

Current addition of brawlers makes it clear that Nintendo and Sakurai has been listening to fan pledges for months and hopefully, some more fan-favorites will pop out for this Nintendo Switch-exclusive.

Nintendo Sues ROM Sites for Copyright

Nintendo sued two ROM sites over copyright, leading one to shut down and another to pull all NES ROMs.

Japanese video game publisher Nintendo has recently filed lawsuit against two popular ROMs websites LoveRETRO.co and LoveROMS.com, both of whom were responsible for hosting some older console games from the company. Their reason to take legal action against these two sites was simply because of massive copyright infringement of their intellectual property rights. The former among them is already shut down while the latter took down all Nintendo files out of their directory.

Whereas this practice keeps the game alive among players for decades, it commercially robs the publisher of their revenue and despite knowing of it, most of them do nothing to stop it. Nintendo however, took a strong stand with this issue and filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on July 19 after frequently calling them out on occasion. Of course, many of these ROMs sites belongs to fans as some hobby projects but the two accused ones are definitely professional.

Because of an impressive sales record, the game was then ported to literally every other modern gaming platform including Android, iOS, Linux and Mac. Then a seven years gap took in before Inside debuted on Xbox One exclusively a week before PC and fellow consoles as its spiritual successor.

The success of the first game made an impact to people's mind about what they are about to get in a follow-up game and Inside was praised even more for creating a compelling platforming experience with improved art, subtle plot and portrayal of a world shrouded in darkness. Inside has toned down the gory parts and delivered a lesser graphic rendition of events. Moving away from its predecessor's solid monochromatic color schemes, it chose to slightly highlight parts of the surrounding.
