Trend Spotting.
Nintendo isn’t always the easiest company to predict, but things are usually pretty routine when it comes to Direct Showcases. There’s usually one in February, usually one in the summer and usually one in September — plus a handful of Indie Worlds, Partner Showcases or game-specific presentations thrown in for good measure.
We’re in September now (almost halfway through, even) and an event is still yet to be announced (at the time of writing, that is), so there’s only one thing for it: let the speculation begin.

After four years of support.
In a message sent out to Mario Kart Tour players today, Nintendo has announced that the mobile racer will no longer see any new content coming its way following next month’s ‘Battle Tour’.
The message confirms that “no new courses, drivers, karts, or gliders will be added” after October’s season, and that all future updates “will consist of content from tours that have appeared before”.

Fixes and improvements for every game.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster recently celebrated a new sales milestone with Square Enix announcing the compilation has now sold three million copies worldwide.
It turns out that at the end of last month, the collection was also updated for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Each game has apparently had some improvements and bug fixes. Unfortunately, the notes don’t go into detail about what has specifically changed, but at the very least each game has been updated.

Let’s-a vote.
It’s the weekend and that can mean only one thing — yes, it’s time for another edition of Box Art Brawl!
Before we dive into this week’s contestants, let’s take a look at how things played out last time. Celebrating the release of Sabotage’s excellent RPG Sea of Stars, we took a look at the cover variants from around the world, with you picking the winner. This one was a little closer than we would have expected (then again, both covers are really rather stunning), but it was the lesser-known Japanese box art that secured the win with 53% of the vote compared to Europe and North America’s 47%.

New stories? Fresh game modes? MORE Big Man?
It has been an entire year since Splatoon 3 was released (don’t worry, we’re just as shocked as you are) so, naturally, our minds are beginning to drift towards what comes next.
The correct answer is that mysterious ‘Side Order‘ DLC — which is meant to show what would’ve happened if Team Order had beaten Team Chaos. But what about after that? The third entry in the splat-and-swim series was a huge success on launch and with the Inklings now popping up in Smash Bros. and Mario Kart, we think it’s fair to say that the series is here for the long run.

Go on, tell us.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder will continue the trend of simultaneous multiplayer platforming in the world of Super Mario and this time it’s rolling with quite possibly the biggest roster ever, made up of not only Mario and co, but also a number of extras.
Nintendo recently asked fans on social media what character they would be picking first in this new Switch exclusive when it arrives next month, so we thought we would ask a similar question to our community here on Nintendo Life, and add a poll while we’re at it to see who might even end up being the most popular character.
