@Moroboshi876 Android 21 (Lab Coat) is "coming soon"... that's all we know right now. Bandai Namco has only just revealed this fighter today in a teaser at Jump Festa, so I guess we'll find out more in time.
@Blackrosewaifu9000 We've not covered the demo on the site until now, so I think this post still serves a purpose. I'm going to give it a go myself later today!
@Specter_of-the_OLED Yes, it did - but as noted, "later on" in the X1 generation when Phil Spencer took over as Head of Xbox, they immediately dropped the Kinect bundled in with systems, reducing the overall price.
@jojobar Are you sure? I've only played the OG versions (Xbox and PC), but I watched some Android mobile footage and the combat text box looks more like what's in the Steam version.
Some of the UI on Switch looks the same as mobile though. I'm guessing the Switch version is closer in resemblance to the mobile (portable) release overall.
@IronMan30 Yep, that's exactly what he's doing - he went on record earlier this year saying something similar. I've updated the article to reflect this.
Oh my goodness - my apologies everyone, at least we all had a laugh. Dragon Ball Xenoblade is sadly a crossover/fusion we'll probably never get, but it was fun while it lasted.
Whoops! Apologies for any confusion! When I mentioned 'OG' it was more in reference to PC being a classic platform for the game. I will say though that I've been playing this latest release with a mouse and keyboard.
@Not_Soos Yep, it's in line with Season 5. Hopefully, Mediatonic will have some sort of promotion, event or offer when the game arrives on Switch and Xbox, so new players can access this content.
@DarkTron This story was published just minutes after the Deltarune Chapter 2 teaser. The tagline was to let Nintendo fans know (at the time) that the release date announcement didn't necessarily include the Switch.

Re: Square Enix's Chocobo GP Will Include Three Different Types Of Vehicles
@alexybubble This is just how Square Enix is wording it, and there are some minor cosmetic differences in the above screenshots.
"There are three types of vehicles available in #ChocoboGP!"
Who knows though, it might be different for other characters. Guess we'll find out!

Update: I have updated the headline just to make it clear!

Re: Bill Gates Apparently Put "A Lot Of Pressure" On Xbox's Team Leaders To Respond To The Wii Craze

Re: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Rated In Australia (Again)
@Silly_G I'd still say it's in reference to this:
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/06/nintendo_confirms_advance_wars_1plus2_re-boot_camp_will_include_online_support
It would be nice if they added custom map sharing (online) as well, but I don't think a map editor has been confirmed.

Re: That Large Combat Text Box In Star Wars: KOTOR On Switch Is "Intended"
@Yosti Yeah, the battle box definitely looks a bit different in the Xbox version.

Re: That Large Combat Text Box In Star Wars: KOTOR On Switch Is "Intended"
@Quarth Dev didn't elaborate, but yeah - I guess the team thought it would be an accessibility improvement if it was intended.
Maybe it was a design decision with handheld players in mind.
