At E3 2018, Nintendo officially took the wraps off Super Smash Bros. Ultimate following a short teaser video back in March. The reason why the game is being called “Ultimate” is because it will feature pretty much every single character from every Super Smash Bros. title that has been released to date, along with some brand new ones.
So with all the characters returning to the game, does that mean that every stage will be made available as well? We suppose that’s not a completely unreasonable expectation, but unfortunately that will not be the case. In the latest issue of Famitsu (via Nintendo Everything), they reported on a press event with Nintendo’s Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff where during a Q&A session, the topic of stage availability was brought up and it was revealed that not every stage will be brought back to the game.
As it stands it has been revealed that there are around 84 stages or so which admittedly is a lot more than most players would need, but we suppose for the sake of variety it’s not necessarily a bad thing. However it is unclear as to which stages will not be brought back so we guess we’ll have to wait until its release to find out. The game is currently set for launch on the 7th of December, 2018.

Passwords are far from being the most secure way of protecting your online accounts. They are still necessary but nowadays we’re starting to see how passwords are being supplemented with other security features, such as biometrics or two-factor authentication, where a one-time generated code is sent to a verified device like your smartphone.
The good news for Twitter users who would like a more secure way of logging onto the platform, the company has announced that they will now start to support the use of logins using USB security keys, such as the Yubikey which is starting to gain an increased amount of support from companies such as Mozilla.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Twitter is using other forms of security to help protect accounts of its users. Twitter also offers support for third-party apps such as Google Authenticator and Duo Mobile, but the upside to USB keys is that even if your phone is not on you you will still be able to login. If this sounds like something you want to take advantage of, head on over to Twitter’s support page where you will be able to find the instructions on how to set it up which appears to be a rather straightforward and simple process.

It’s not surprising that when Pokemon GO was first launched that it was a massive success. This combined the success and fame of the Pokemon franchise with that of the ability to “catch” Pokemon in real-life thanks to the use of augmented reality. However the game did face some problems at the start, along with features that were promised but never launched.
However it seems that Pokemon GO might have caught a second wind because according to the latest figures from SuperData Research (via VentureBeat), the game is said to be experiencing its largest playerbase to date since the summer of 2016. SuperData doesn’t provide the exact figures, but they claim that Pokemon GO managed to earn $104 million in May which is up 174% from the same period last year.
This seems to indicate that there are more players than before, either that or players are spending more money than last time. However to Niantic’s credit, the company has been hard at work pushing out new updates to the game over the past couple of years, and it was announced not too long ago that trading will finally be coming to the game. There are still some features that have yet to be launched, such as PVP battles, but we suppose they will come in time.

Epic’s Fortnite Battle Royale is an incredibly popular game, which we guess is a combination of several factors including gameplay and also the fact that it is free. However as with most free-to-play games, there will be in-game purchases that helps generate revenue for the developers, and Fortnite is no exception.
In fact it was recently reported that Fortnite managed to pull in $100 million from its iOS launch alone, which is impressive considering that the game was only launched a few months ago. That being said, how much are players spending on the game? According to a recent survey conducted by LendEDU, they found that the average Fortnite player spends $84.67 each.
From those who spent money on the game, 58.9% claimed that they did so for the cosmetic features. 18.06% claimed that they spent money on the game for gliders, 13.52% on harvesting tools, while 9.52% spent money on the game for emotes or the dancing animations. Based on this it’s not surprising that many players seem to be more than happy to part with their money for the game.
As it stands Fortnite is available on iOS, the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and the Nintendo Switch, There are plans for it to arrive on Android this coming summer which means more money for the developers.

This year is shaping up to be a great year for fans of the Pokemon franchise. This is because not only is Pokemon GO getting the much awaited trading feature, but there will be two new Pokemon titles coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year, while Pokemon Quest for the Switch is already available.
For those unfamiliar, Pokemon Quest was announced last month ahead of E3 2018 where players can build up a party of Pokemon, all of whom have been designed in cute cube-like shapes which some have since compared to Minecraft. However in addition to announcing it for the Switch, the game was also announced for iOS and Android in which it is now available for download.
According to the app’s description, “The Pokémon you know and love have turned into…cubes?! Head out in search of treasure with your cube-shaped Pokémon buddies on Tumblecube Island—a land where everything is a cube! Your goal is to find the awesome goodies said to be hidden on the island ! The Pokémon you know and love from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue appear in this game.”
The game is free-to-play but there will also be in-app purchases. These come in the form of tokens that will help speed up gameplay. If you’d like to get your hands on the app, head on over to the iOS App Store or Google Play for the download.
