As usual, Sakurai has a feature in the latest issue of Famitsu. This week's article is all about Smash Bros. Ultimate. Here's a quick rundown of what Sakurai has to say, as translated by NintendoEverything.

On Ken…

“If the opportunity presents itself I’d like to write about the game’s ‘Adventure Mode’ bit by bit. That being said, as of right now it’s finished.”

Dragalia Lost has been bumped up to Version 1.1.5, which takes up 2.6GB of space. Turns out there's quite a bit going on in this update!

Additional features and improvements:

・The AI of adventurers in your party has been adjusted so that they use attacks and skills more often during quests.
・The Fafnir enemy appearing in the recurring event quest Avenue to Power (Beginner/Intermediate/Expert variations) no longer guards.
・The number of skip tickets you can acquire in a Daily Bonus has been increased to three.
・The number of skip tickets that you can buy in the shop has been increased to three in one day.
・The maximum held number of skip tickets has been increased to 99.
・The number displaying the amount of eldwater needed to strengthen a co-ability is now easier to see.
・For the upward swiping gesture on iOS devices, it now changes to Multitask during quests after inputting the gesture two times.
・Defeated enemies now disappear from the minimap immediately.
・The display speed of Notices has been increased.
・Adjustments were made to the power of Hawk’s skill Savage Hawk on stunned enemies.
・Adjustments were made to Nefaria’s skill Night of Antiquity concerning its power, and power against enemies afflicted with blindness.
・The rates displayed in the item summon’s Appearance Rates have been changed to display up to the thousandths decimal place. The summoning rates themselves are unchanged.

Issues fixed:

・All of the gifts in the Dragon’s Roost were displaying as bread.
・While leveling up the Smithy, its level wasn’t being factored into the total Facility Level.
・Changing characters when one of them has the afflictions stun, freeze, or sleep, then switching back once the affliction has healed, was causing controls to be limited.
・For skills that grow stronger based on the number of buffs on a character, only sustained healing spells weren’t being factored in.
・Under specific conditions, you could be struck by status afflictions while shapeshifted.
・When choosing to repeat a mission from the quest results screen, the amount of stamina that should have recovered due to passage of time was not being reflected.
・For all of the items on the Friends screen, the might shown on the character that you tap would not reflect the equipped weapon or dragon.
・Opening Notices during events would sometimes cause the Notices screen to be displayed lower than the menu, preventing players from pressing the Update or Close buttons.

The preload option for Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is now available on the 3DS eShop in Japan. The title costs ¥7,538 and requires 21,783 blocks of space (2.79 GB). According to Famitsu charts, this game is very highly anticipated by Japanese gamers. It'll be interesting to see how well it does for its debut week!

Warframe is hitting the Switch next week, so it's time to get some space cleared out on your Switch. We've learned that the title is going to take up 12.2GB of space, which is quite a bit smaller than the game on other platforms. Can't wait to see how this port turns out!

I'm thinking between the two Switch review scores in this week's Famitsu, people might be paying attention to one more than the other. Just by a little bit...

Black Bird (Switch) – 8/8/8/8 [32/40]
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Let’s Go, Eevee! (Switch) – 9/9/10/9 [37/40]

Netflix's Castlevania is pitch-perfect in a lot of ways, and one of those is the art direction. The series has some fantastic character design and backdrops. Some of that content doesn't appear on-screen for more than a few seconds, but it's well worth giving a good once-over. If you're looking to get a better peek at some of that content, including backgrounds and animation tests, make sure to check out this post.

Five new themes available on the 3DS eShop in Japan this week. The lineup includes...

- Pinocchio P feat. Hatsune Miku「Yozurina」
-「Bokura wa Minna Imi Fumei」
-「Tonchinkan No Utage」
-「Mushroom Mother」
- TOKOTOKO「Shikakui Chikyuu wo Maruku Suru」
