SuperheroGreen Arrowwas just announced for upcoming fighterInjustice: Gods Among Usearlier this week. I had a chance to go hands-on with him for a few rounds here on the New York Comic-Con show floor, at the DC Entertainment booth.

It did so well on Switch actually that in a developer AMA on reddit, D-Pad confirmed thatOwlboyhas turned a profit within 24 hours of launch on Switch alone....

If that description doesn’t sell you on it, then I’ve got nothing....

Make sure you update AMario + Rabbids Sparks of Hopepatchis out day one, and although it clocks in at just 130MB comparatively, it has a lot to address. Like,a lot! Billed as a non-mandatory patch but “recommended,” this one hits everything from framerate fixes, to individual and obscure bugs that could cause progression issues. It gets even more granular once you hit the battle bugs, like separate abilities not quite doing the damage they should: which is super hard to suss out on your own....
