After a surprising reveal during E3 2019, Nintendo has unveiled when Banjo-Kazooie will join the ever-growing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. The bear-bird duo is now available as the latest DLC fighter(s), the company announced during its Nintendo Direct.The pair joins the likes of Persona 5's Joker and Dragon Quest's Hero, who released in April and July, respectively. All three characters are part of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Fighter Pass Bundle, which retails for $25 USD / $37 AUD / £20 GBP. Both Hero and Joker run for $6 USD / $8 AUD / £5 GBP individually, so it's likely Banjo-Kazooie will cost the same for those who don't own or want the entire Fighter Pass. Piranha Plant, the party-fighter's first DLC character, was available for free for a limited time before charging $5 USD / $7 AUD / £4 GBP, the cheapest of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's DLC fighters so far.With the addition of Banjo-Kazooie, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's roster is now larger than ever. Boasting a total of 76 fighters at launch--74 if you count Pokemon Trainer as one fighter--the party-fighter now features 80 characters in total, and there are still two more planned DLC characters for the Fighter Pass. The next of these will come from Fatal Fury. After that, even more fighters have been confirmed to be on the way, too, albeit with no specifics.If you happen to have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you can access a new Super Smash Bros.

Formerly known as Town, the game is now officially titled Little Town Hero, and it casts you as a boy named Axe who is out to defend his town from monsters.The new trailer we got to see during the Direct showed off the game's battle system, which appears to be turn-based. In addition to weapons, Axe can use his thoughts to fight; however, you'll need to think carefully about when to use which ideas if you hope to defeat the monsters that are invading your town. You can also move around during battle to get backup from other townspeople.That wasn't all we learned about Little Town Hero.

Nintendo's 40-minute-long Direct presentation has officially wrapped up. Among the few surprise releases, including the newly-released Super Kirby Clash, the company revealed that Deadly Premonition hits the Nintendo Switch later today.Re-released as Deadly Premonition Origins, the game launches on Nintendo Switch for $30 USD. In the open-world survival horror game, you guide FBI agent Francis York Morgan as he, and his mysterious friend Zach, set out to uncover the truth of a serial murder that occurs in the small North America town of Greenvale.In our Deadly Premonition review, we said, "Deadly Premonition is not a lovely game, or a refined one. It's easy to dismiss it for its bad looks, its ancient control scheme, and its general user-unfriendliness. But this is a case in which the bigger picture dwarfs the flaws and the foibles. And Deadly Premonition is certainly different. It has its ups and downs, but the one direction you'll most associate with this flawed and unique game is sideways."In other news from the Nintendo Direct, popular hero shooter Overwatch is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch next month. Banjo-Kazooie, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's third DLC character, joins the ever-growing roster later today. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Rogue sail onto Nintendo Switch in one bundle called Assassin's Creed: Rebel Collection.

2018 saw one of the most intriguing adventure games in recent years with 3909's Return of the Obra Dinn. Though it was only available for PC, the September Nintendo Direct has revealed that it's now coming to consoles for the first time--specifically, on Nintendo Switch.Though no official date has been announced, it will be arriving in Fall 2019. There's no word on any additions or improvements being made for this version of the game.Last year, GameSpot picked Return of the Obra Dinn as one of the best games of 2018. In reviews editor Kallie Plagge, "Best known for 2013's Papers, Please, developer Lucas Pope has a knack for crafting memorable and evocative games that engage your deductive reasoning. His latest game, Return of the Obra Dinn, once again puts you in an administrative role--you're an insurance adjuster for the East India Company in the early 19th century--and tasks you with identifying who or what a person is based on limited information. In this case, you have to discover the fates of all 60 crew members and passengers aboard the Obra Dinn, which was lost at sea only to drift back to harbor several years later with no one on board alive."For more on the recent Nintendo Direct, check back with GameSpot for more updates.

If you've been holding out on a Nintendo Switch port for Divinity Original Sin II, then your wait is officially over. The phenomenal 2017 RPG is available on Switch right now, as announced during the September 2019 Nintendo Direct.Back in 2017, we listed Divinity Original Sin II as one of the best games of the year. The game is also one of a handful of titles we've given a 10/10 to. Learning that the game can now be played on the go via Switch is a nice little surprise.If you've already started playing Divinity Original Sin II on PC, never got around to finishing it, and now want to continue your save on Switch, then you're in luck. The RPG now supports cross-saves between Switch and Steam, so you can transfer your progress from one system to the other at any time.In Divinity Original Sin II, you create your own character among an assortment of species and traditional RPG classes before going on a fantastical adventure alongside a band of memorable characters. The game's story is completely choice-driven, allowing you to shape events with your decisions and alter character relationships with your actions.

This immaculately conceived and emotion-wrought fantasy world, topped by brilliant tactical combat, make it one of the finest games of recent years, and it remains an instant classic in the pantheon of RPG greats."

During the September 2019 Nintendo Direct, the company announced both Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Rogue are coming out in a single collection aptly titled Assassins Creed: Rebel Collection. Both games originally launched for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC before being released again on Xbox One and PS4.Rebel Collection will also include the two single-player DLC expansions for Black Flag: Aveline and Freedom's Cry. Previously exclusive to the PS3, PS4, and PC version of Black Flag, the Aveline DLC sees Assassin's Creed Liberation protagonist Aveline de Grandpré travel to Rhode Island to undergo an undercover mission that Assassin's Creed III protagonist Connor was unable to. Freedom's Cry continues the story of Adéwalé, a character introduced in Black Flag who would become one of the most brutal but honorable members of the Assassin Brotherhood.Both Black Flag and Rogue are a turning point in the Assassin's Creed series, existing in conjunction with Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed Liberation as a series of stories that primarily take place within the same time period. Though Liberation follows Aveline and Rogue is about Shay Patrick Cormac, the four games primarily focus on the saga of the Kenway family--namely Edward, his son Haytham, and his grandson Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor. Additionally, these four games mark the point in the series where Ubisoft began writing the Assassins and Templars with more nuance. Their conflict was less good vs. evil and more just two ancient organizations that have been at war with one another for many millennia.In Black Flag, you play as a nameless Abstergo employee who joins the Assassins after living through the early life of Edward Kenway, a selfish and ambitious pirate who ultimately finds a higher calling by using his exceptional talents to safeguard human freedom as a member of the Assassin Brotherhood. In Rogue, you play as a different but still nameless Abstergo employee, this time living through the experiences of Shay, an Irish-born Assassin who betrays the Brotherhood and joins the Templars after being convinced the latter are doing more for the American Colonies than the former.In GameSpot's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag review, Shaun McInnis wrote, "Black Flag presents a world full of adventure and opportunity, where treasures scavenged in a remote jungle can be used to turn the tide in a massive naval battle against mighty Spanish warships. It's a game where you can sail the seas for hours at a time, either hunting great white sharks or simply listening to your crew sing one infectious sea shanty after the next. There's an incredible scope to what you can do in Black Flag, with a level of harmony between its component parts that encourages you to try it all, and a story that keeps you invested throughout the whole thing."Our review for Rogue is somewhat positive as well, but the game isn't nearly as good as Black Flag. In GameSpot's Assassin's Creed Rogue review, Mark Walton wrote, "Outside of a few additions like an air rifle and grenade launcher (which is used exactly one for mission), there's next to nothing in Rogue that moves the franchise forward. And even if you simply wanted more of Black Flag, that the missions are so sparse makes it difficult to want to drag yourself across the vast expanse of Rogue's oceans. Instead of a rich, fleshed-out game, Rogue is a short, mildly entertaining adventure that's thin on core content, but thick with information. It's intriguing information though, particularly if you're a series fan, just don't expect the best of adventures while you're taking it all in."The Rebel Collection releases for Nintendo Switch on December 6.
