Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will spend roughly a year after its launch adding more characters, stages, and music tracks via downloadable content. Don’t waste time starting that letter campaign for Dixie Kong, though–director Masahiro Sakurai says the roster is already locked.

“Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC line-up is now complete,” Sakurai said in a tweet. “This time the selection was made entirely by Nintendo. I decide if we can create a fighter based on their selection, then come up with the plan.”

The phrasing does note that the selections were already made “this time,” leaving the door open for another series of DLC content to follow that could include fan requests. The community has been vocal about some of their favorite characters, including Waluigi, Banjo-Kazooie, and others. Of course, he could have simply been contrasting this time with last time, meaning the last Smash Bros. game.

Six downloadable characters are coming in all. The first, Piranha Plant, will be available for free for everyone who purchases and registers the game by January 31, 2019. He’ll come later as a purchasable character. Five more fighters will be added in DLC packs that are bundled with an additional stage and some new music tracks. Those packs will cost $6 apiece, and a Fighter’s Pass bundle will get you all of them for $25. Buying the Fighter’s Pass will also get you an outfit based on Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

The announcement of Piranha Plant and the DLC fighters came alongside the last two roster reveals in the main game: Ken and Incineroar. That announcement also debuted the final mode, Spirits, which has you take on a series of challenges to earn equippable character buffs. That Nintendo Direct mentioned that the DLC wasn’t locked down yet, so the character selections may be very recent.

Smash Bros. Ultimate releases on December 7 for Nintendo Switch.

With Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee set to arrive on Nintendo Switch in a little over a week, The Pokemon Company is ramping up excitement for their release with another new trailer. While the last one gave us our first glimpse at Lavender Town, this video showcases some of the challenging trainers who stand in your way of becoming a Pokemon Master. Mild spoilers follow.

The trailer begins with a look at Sabrina, the Psychic-type Gym Leader of Saffron City. We also get a glimpse of the leader of the villainous Team Rocket, Giovanni, as well as a quick look at the Elite Four–the four powerful trainers who await you at the Pokemon League. You’ll only be able to challenge the Elite Four after you’ve collected all eight Gym badges in the Kanto region, and you’ll need to defeat them in succession in order to become the champion.

Most notably, the new trailer also reveals that Red and Blue–the protagonist and rival of the original Red, Blue, and Yellow versions–will appear in Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee. From the looks of it, you’ll be able to battle them during your adventure, though whether they use their original Pokemon lineup remains to be seen. Red and Blue aren’t the only callbacks to the original Gen 1 games, either; at the end of the trailer, you can see a brief glimpse of the female trainer who appeared alongside them in the titles’ original artwork.

As The Pokemon Company recently revealed, your adventure doesn’t end once you’ve defeated the Elite Four. After you’ve become the Pokemon League Champion, powerful new Master Trainers will appear around the region. Each one specializes in one particular Pokemon, and you’ll need to battle them using that same Pokemon in order to claim their title.

Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee launch for Nintendo Switch on November 16. You can read more about the games in our latest hands-on impressions. We also got to speak with Let’s Go director Junichi Masuda recently about the challenges of updating Pokemon Yellow for a new generation and why Pokemon rivals aren’t jerks anymore, among other things.

The first season of Mayans MC has come to an end and what a story it told. Sons of Anarchy fans hoping for a nice and easy follow up to the original series were in for a shock quickly, as they learned this particular club is riddled with fractures among its members.

Still, through new characters, a different location, and a healthy dose of references and Easter egg nods to Sons of Anarchy, Mayans MC has managed to become an exciting show to watch. One that, quite honestly, we can’t wait to have return.

How closely were you paying attention to this season, though? Did you realize the show was stuffed with Sons of Anarchy references, ranging from bringing back fan-favorite characters to even small nods to former plots?

After watching this season, we’ve dug through so much Sons of Anarchy lore that it’s as if the original show never ended. Thankfully, that’s amounted to a pretty comprehensive collection of the Easter eggs dropped into Mayans MC by co-creator Kurt Sutter and his creative partners on the series. How many of these did you spot? And what did we miss? Sound off in the comments and let us know!
