Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Getting A Resident Evil Spirit Board
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a curious crossover coming on November 29, when the Spirit Board will replace the current Pokemon spirits with characters from a very different franchise. Resident Evil has had a big year on Switch–Resident Evil, 0, 4, 5, and 6 all released on Nintendo’s platform–and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is looking to celebrate with this Spirit Board.
Chris, Jill, Leon, and Wesker will all come to the game as unlockable spirits, meaning that you can nab three of the series’ mightiest heroes (and maybe its most iconic villain) if you’ve leveled up well and can beat their equivalent fighters. Unfortunately, this also means that Leon Kennedy almost certainly isn’t the fifth DLC character included in the Fighters Pass, which recently added Terry Bogard to the game’s roster. There are, however, more fighters in the works; it’s not unthinkable that Resident Evil will eventually be represented in Smash Bros.
Nintendo and Resident Evil have a curious history, with the Resident Evil remake, 0 and 4 all releasing first on the GameCube. Resident Evil 7 is available on the system through the Japanese eShop, but only as a streaming title. Resident Evil Revelations and Revelations 2 are also available on Nintendo’s console, with the first having begun life as a 3DS game.

Arrow: Season 8, Episode 6 Review
Warning: this review contains full spoilers for Arrow: Season 8, Episode 6! If you need a refresher on where we left off, here’s our review for Season 8, Episode 5.
In the interest of not burying the lede, “Reset” is easily the strongest chapter of Arrow” Season 8 since the premiere. It’s no coincidence this episode also happens to be the most similar in terms of tone and plot. “Reset” embraces the larger-than-life mature of the Crisis while also delivering a fond farewell to one of the series’ most important supporting characters.
Much like how Susanna Thompson and John Barrowman stopped by in the premiere, there’s no way the series could take its final bow without bringing Paul Blackthorne’s Quentin Lance back one last time. Quentin was there since day one, and over the course of six seasons he evolved and grew as much as any character. “Reset” encapsulates that growth nicely, highlighting just how much the dynamic between Quentin and Ollie evolved as they went from bitter rivals to close-knit friends and allies. Plus, with as convoluted a history as the Lance sisters have in the Arrowverse, it’s only fitting Quentin gets a quick hop in the superhero resurrection machine.
The Flash: Season 6, Episode 7 Review
Full spoilers for The Flash continue below.
Over six seasons of The Flash, we’ve seen Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) tempted by darkness and alternate possibilities, and every time, it has usually ended up coming at a cost. With a Crisis (on Infinite Earths) coming less than two days away in series’ time, Barry is forced to confront his insecurities at a time when he knows he has seen many variations of his world’s end.
“The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1” was a mixed bag for me. It hits when it moves forward and lagged a bit for me whenever we were stuck in Barry’s mind, as these are tropes that I’m frankly over in the various series in the Arrowverse. One might argue that such a psychological story is the hearty meal that comes before the “dessert” that will be next week’s inevitable confrontation between Bloodwork (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and Team Flash, but for now, Ramsey Rosso’s attempt at getting Barry to accept his “lifeblood” felt like the show was treading on all-too-familiar territory.
