Joker from Persona 5 and the Hero from Dragon Quest 11 will be released as amiibo this Fall. Announced as part of today's DLC announcement for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, creator Masahiro Sakurai explained that the team still plans to make amiibo for every DLC fighter in the game, but that he's not sure how many will be made. The Joker figure appears to be a complete design, while the Hero figure is apparently still in development. If the remaining fighters are indeed developed as amiibo, that would mean we'll get figures of Banjo & Kazooie, Terry, Byleth, Min Min, and 5 unannounced fighters. The announcement comes alongside the reveal of Challenger Pack 6, which will bring Arms' Min Min, a Spring Man assist trophy, a Spring Stadium stage, and new Mii Fighter costumes (including Vault Boy from Fallout) to Smash Bros. Ultimate on June 29.

Min Min from Arms will be the latest Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter. She will become available on June 29 for $5.99 (and is included as part of a purchase of Fighters Pass Vol. 2). Announced by series creator Masahiro Sakurai from his own home, the spring-armed fighter will be able to use both of her extendable limbs for a variety of attacks. Unlike most characters, the A and B buttons are mapped to one each of Min Min's arms, rather than for regular and smash attacks. As in Arms itself, Min Min's arm attachments can be swapped, offering a variety of different effects. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/22/super-smash-bros-ultimate-min-min-official-trailer"] Arm attacks can be bent in mid-air to adjust your angle of attack but, as a downside, Min Min is built for longer range combat, with attacks easy to dodge from close range. Min Min's Final Smash move summons every member of the Arms cast to deliver a barrage of punches to any unlucky recipients. Arms' Spring Man will also join the game as an Assist Trophy and uses a similar (if less powerful) move when activated. Spring Stadium is the game's newest stage to fight across, and features bounce platforms on either side, as well as an arched ceiling that can ricochet flying characters back toward the arena. Arms drones will also periodically carry items across the stage, too. New Mii Fighter costumes include Ninjara from Arms, Heichachi from Tekken, Callie and Marie from Splatoon, and Vault Boy from Fallout(!). All of the costumes will also be available on June 29. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/22/super-smash-bros-ultimate-mii-fighter-costumes-6-trailer"] Sakurai also announced that Persona 5's Joker and Dragon Quest 11's Hero will be released as amiibo this Fall. The director reiterated that the team plans for all DLC charcaters to recive amiibo figurines. Min Min and the rest of the announced content makes up Challenger Pack 6, the first of six new fighters being added to Smash Bros. Ultimate before December 2021, and part of Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Min Min marks a change from the plethora of sword-using characters, particularly from Fire Emblem - even Sakurai himself has admitted there are too many Fire Emblem characters in the game, so we're hoping Min Min marks the start of a variety of more imaginative characters in Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

Netflix has announced that principal photography on The Witcher Season 2 will officially resume in the UK on August 17. The Twitter account for the smash hit series confirmed that filming would resume in just under two months via a nifty little ditty, written in the poetic style of fan-favourite bard Jaskier.

I’m dusting off my lute and quill, I have some news, some mead to spill: After all the months we’ve been apart It’s time for production to restart. The Witcher and his bard – who’s flawless, Will reunite on set 17 August.

"I'm dusting off my lute and quill, I have some news, some mead to spill: After all the months we've been apart it's time for production to restart. The Witcher and his bard – who's flawless, will reunite on set 17 August," the post read. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/21/the-witcher-season-1-ending-explained"] The Witcher season 2 suspended its production in London back in March, as Netflix paused filming on all of its films and TV shows in the US and Canada in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, several productions have recently been given the "green light" to take their first steps back into production after a new mandate of safety protocols were approved in the UK. "This is a green light that signals that the UK is open for business again for film and high-end TV production," an industry source told The Guardian at the beginning of June. "Many productions have to get up and running again in the next two months or they won't get made this year as they rely on summer weather and conditions." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] The Witcher has been a huge success for Netflix, with 76 million households watching the first season of the action-packed fantasy-drama, and yet many fans were left bemused by the show's "controversial" multi-timeline format. Although showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has stood by this as a storytelling device, she has promised that the second season will be more streamlined, now that the characters' individual stories have intersected to exist on the "same timeline." The Witcher Season 2 is due to stream on Netflix in 2021. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist. You can reach her on Twitter.

Nintendo is reportedly retreating from the mobile gaming market, and currently has no new mobile games in development. A Bloomberg report indicates that Nintendo has been underwhelmed by its mobile games' financial performance, and is now preferring to concentrate on making games for its own Switch console following the huge success of games like Animal Crossing (which contributed to a 12-year high in share price). Analyst Serkan Toto told Bloomberg that "since the release of Mario Kart Tour in fall 2019, Nintendo’s mobile pipeline is empty”. The analyst added that the huge success of Switch has "reduced the need and the pressure" to create mobile game successes at the company. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/01/mario-kart-tour-review"] Nintendo has previously said that it will now concentrate on its current mobile games, such as Mario Kart Tour and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. The company's mobile development partner, DeNA, has reportedly also said not to expect new games until the end of the Japanese fiscal year (31st March 2021), implying there's no Nintendo mobile games coming anytime soon. While reports have suggested that Nintendo's mobile output has grossed over $1 billion, Nintendo has apparently not been primarily motivated to make money directly from its mobile games, reportedly even asking developers to adjust their games so that they allowed players to spend less. Nintendo's move out of the mobile arena to concentrate on Switch is likely to be a popular decision among players. We've written previously about how the company's mobile output hasn't amounted to much, and how it doesn't stand up to the legacy of Satoru Iwata.
