Nintendo Minute (Animal Crossing: New Horizons)

Here’s the latest episode of Nintendo Minute, which is about Animal Crossing: New Horizons this time!

Nintendo Minute is never a minute! We hope you’re all enjoying the island life so far in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Today we thought we’d show you what our islands look like so far. It’s nice that we can still meet and hang out in the game. Let us know how your islands are coming along and if your friends have visited. As always, thanks so much for watching and we’ll see you soon!

My Hero One’s Justice 2

Bandai-Namco have shared some details about Hawks, the first DLC character for My Hero One’s Justice 2:

Pro Hero “Hawks” will join the MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2 character roster this spring with his powerful wings, keen eyes, and resourceful intelligence. Hawks’ quirk – Fierce Wings – grants him a large pair of formidable feathery wings that allow him to fly. Hawks can telekinetically control each feather with ease to use them as projectiles and can sense people’s locations through vibrations in the air.

Unfortunately, we don’t know when Hawks will be released just yet.
