In a video that aired during The Game Awards, Nintendo revealed that Joker from the critically acclaimed Persona 5 game will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch as a playable DLC fighter. Joker is included in the first of five planned DLC packs, each containing one playable fighter, one new stage and a handful of music tracks. Each pack can be purchased for $5.99 each, but players can also purchase the Fighter’s Pass for $24.99, giving them access to all five DLC packs as they release.
The Persona games are a spinoff of the popular Shin Megami Tensei franchise, which has a long and storied history in the world of video games – with many of the games appearing on Nintendo systems. Sporting an iconic mask and a variety of weapons, Joker is the main character of Persona 5, a beloved game that won Best Role-Playing Game and was nominated for Game of the Year at last year’s The Game Awards.
The digital version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches in Nintendo eShop at 9 p.m. PT tonight (Dec. 6), with the physical version hitting stores on Dec. 7. In this massive video game crossover event, every fighter in Super Smash Bros. history is back, and they’re joined by newcomers like Daisy from the Super Mario series, Chrom from Fire Emblem, Inkling from Splatoon, Ridley and Dark Samus from Metroid, Ken from Street Fighter, Simon and Richter Belmont from Castlevania, King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong series, Isabelle from Animal Crossing, Incineroar from Pokémon, and, soon, Joker from Persona 5. Anyone who purchases and registers a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game with My Nintendo by Jan. 31, 2019, will receive Piranha Plant as a free playable fighter. With a smashing amount of content, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the biggest Super Smash Bros. game ever. For more information about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, visit https://www.smashbros.com/.
“The Game Awards coupled with the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate marks one of the video game industry’s biggest nights, so it’s the ideal place to share news about one of the most anticipated games of the year,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime, who announced the Joker news to The Game Awards audience. “Even as we celebrate the best that our industry has to offer, we’re looking ahead to more excitement and surprises in 2019.”
Additional Nintendo Switch announcements made during The Game Awards include:
A handful of games that are playable on Nintendo Switch won awards at the show, including Overcooked! 2 for Best Family Game, CELESTE for Best Independent Game, Dead Cells for Best Action Game, The Messenger for Best Debut Indie Game and Fortnite for Best Ongoing Game.

The Nintendo Switch video game system is about to get a lot more heroic. MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order is heading exclusively to the Nintendo Switch system for Super Hero gaming action at home or on the go. The new game, which arrives nearly 10 years after the previous installment in the series, is being developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES/Team NINJA and published by Nintendo. Nintendo made the announcement with a trailer shown during The Game Awards in Los Angeles.
MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order brings together Super Heroes and Super Villains from across the Marvel Universe to battle for the limitless power of the Infinity Gauntlet, one Stone at a time. This unprecedented team of characters must use their unique superpowers to defeat the mad cosmic tyrant Thanos and his ruthless warmasters, The Black Order. The game will feature an original story and a playable cast of dozens of Marvel Super Heroes, including the Avengers, the X-Men, and—for the first time in series history—the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The new game features the same kind of action-RPG gameplay that made the franchise such a hit over a decade ago. In MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order, up to four players can drop in for co-op battles in a variety of ways: They can play online*, link up offline via local wireless or pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend to join the team. With another pair of Joy-Con (sold separately), four players can team up on one system. In addition to the series’ traditional perspective, the new entry will let players select a dynamic, zoomed-in heroic view, allowing for a more immersive play style for single-player or multiplayer when using multiple systems.
“As longtime fans of the franchise, we could not be prouder and more excited to bring back ULTIMATE ALLIANCE with its biggest game yet,” said Mike Jones, Vice President & Executive Producer, Marvel Games. “MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE is all about teaming up with your friends and creating your own ‘dream team’ of Super Heroes to go on adventures across the Marvel Universe, and Nintendo Switch is perfect for delivering on that promise of cooperative gameplay and shared experiences.”
“The MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE games have been beloved by fans for more than a decade, and this new installment on Nintendo Switch will deliver even more of the thrills and heroics that the franchise is known for,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Thanks to our partnership with Marvel, the fate of the Marvel Universe will literally be in the hands of Nintendo Switch players, whether they’re at home or on the go.”
Additional details about the game will be announced in the future. Remember that Nintendo Switch features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about other features, visit https://www.nintendo.com/switch/.

Update: Feral have also just confirmed that the game will release on iPad on December 18th. An iPhone/Universal release is confirmed for 2019. There’s also a snazzy new trailer we’ve embedded for your enjoyment.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1roVBx5TRN8?controls=0]
Original Story: Feral Interactive, as well as bringing us excellent mobile ports of Rome: Total War, have also managed to win the rights to bring Tropico to mobile.
Tropico for iPad was announced earlier this year and will officially be a modified version of Tropico 3, and will see you put in charge of an up-and-coming banana republic as el president. You’ll need to develop your economy, keep your citizens in-line, and court the major powers for favours and influence.
“But Pocket Tactics, I really want to know whether my device will run it or not,” said some people, sometimes.
Luckily for you citizen, Feral have published a handy infographic to illustrate what devices are officially supported:
The official summary on the game’s website is:
Tropico will run on any iPad Pro, any iPad released since 2017, and requires iOS 12 or later. You will also need 3GB of free space to install the game.
So it seems even a nine-year old PC game still needs some serious hardware to run.
There’s been no word on when Tropico will release, but we’ll keep you posted.
Humble does some great work in the sense that not only are they a useful platform to get games on the cheap, but they also help fund charities at the same time.
While it’s mainly all about PC and Steam, every now and then Android users get something relevant to their interests, usually in the form of a ‘Mobile Bundle’ but today’s bundle is a bit of a mixture.
Pocket Tactics is a Humble Affiliate.
Asmodee are running a Board Games themed bundle, which still has about six days to go before it runs out. Now, it’s not all mobile games sadly – there are PC games mixed in. Considering how cheap everything is I’m sure you won’t mind too much.
At the $1 (minimum) tier, you get:
And then PC-only versions of:
Pay at least $8, and you’ll get:
And then PC-only versions of:
It’s a shame about Twilight Struggle – would have been a steal to get it on Android as well, but then it’s such a good quality port if you do do some PC gaming, we’d recommend picking it up all the same.
The total bundle worth is $139, and at the time of writing over 40,000 bundles had been sold.
By default, this bundle has Direct Relief as the chosen charity. They are based in Santa Barbara, California, and are an organisation that tries to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty. Their current efforts are aimed at helping victims of the California wildfires.
’Tis the season for gaming gifts, family co-op and pine-scented Nintendo nostalgia. Bill Trinen from Nintendo Treehouse and Peer Schneider from IGN join host Chris Slate to share their happiest Nintendo holiday memories, plus plenty of heart-warming holiday stories submitted by our listeners. And, of course they take the Warp Zone quiz, discuss their current gaming obsessions and look ahead to big titles coming in December and January. Get cozy by the fire, hit play and enjoy a heaping helping of holiday spirit.
