Nintendo Switch D-Pad accessory
Yesterday, Hori announced a special accessory for the Nintendo Switch: a Joy-Con that isn’t quite a Joy-Con, but does feature something an actual Joy-Con doesn’t have (yet)… a regular D-Pad. The catch is that it can only be used on Handheld Mode (which is still better than nothing for players who really want a D-Pad!). It costs 2 678 Yen, and will be released in July in Japan.
Here’s some pictures:

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy
In Japan, the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy is now available for pre-purchase on the Nintendo eShop. Quite interestingly, besides the trilogy itself, the games are also available for purchase separately. It’s not clear yet if this will also be the case in Europe and North America.
The games will be unlocked at 12AM JST on April 26th, and do not feature an English language option (no importing the Japanese physical copy, unfortunately!). Here’s the file size for each individual game:
- Trilogy: 14.1GB
- Ultimate Storm 1: 3.7GB
- Ultimate Storm 2: 4GB
- Ultimate Sortm 3: 6GB
Finally, here’s some screenshots for all three games:

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
Earlier this week, Capcom announced that Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection would be released on May 29th in Europe and North America… but not Japan, where the game has been delayed to an unspecified date in 2018. The reason? Negative feedback following the reveal that the collection would only include the English version of the games.
Also, Capcom shared a few more details about the Super Street Fighter II: The Tournament Mode, revealed a few days ago by GameInformer. Click here to check it out!
Finally, here’s some more screenshots for the game:
