There’s a very good dog in the just-released Final Fantasy XVI, but it has nothing on these little fellas doing Eikon cosplay.

The waves of DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe keep chugging along, and next up is number five, which debuts later this summer. Among other things, it adds Kamek and Wiggler as characters.

We already knew that Pikmin 4 was coming to the Switch on July 21st, and today we got a new trailer that digs pretty deep into the gameplay. There are lots of plant puns and adorable creatures. In other words, it’s Pikmin — except now there’s a scary night-time mode. Luckily there are new glowing pikmin to make it slightly less creepy.

Another spooky Luigi game is coming to the Switch, with a remake of the 3DS title Dark Moon, which will be launching next year.

We don’t know much about it at all, but Nintendo has confirmed that a new game starring Princess Peach will be launching on the Switch some time next year. Jack Black must be very happy.

It’s almost time for the latest Nintendo Direct, which kicks off at 10AM ET and should include whatever Nintendo is planning for the Switch this holiday season. Get those predictions ready.
