The Nintendo UK site for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury has shared a few more details on what the Bowser's Fury mode has to offer. You can read a summary of that info below.

- Bowser has been tainted by a mysterious black goop, which turns him into Fury Bowser
- the shell that we see Bowser trapped in is called the Fury Sun
- the Fury Sun will always rise up near the island you're on
- weather will change, which indicates how much time you have until the Fury Sun emerges
- if you’ve collected five Cat Shines on an island, you can activate the Giga Bell
- this is what transforms Mario into Giga Cat Mario
- defeat Fury Bowser and he'll be sent flying back into the water, which unlocks new islands for you to explore

As we've said many times, Nintendo is really popular in France. This is why the region gets a decent amount of stock for new Nintendo products. Every so often we get details on just how many units are heading France's way, and some of that data has come in today.

Nintendo recently revealed the Mario Red & Blue Edition Switch, which is launching alongside Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. French retailers will get a total of 40,000 units to dish out to consumers, which might make it a tad hard to find soon after launch. We also got data on the launch shipments for the Banjo-Kazooie, Terry, and Byleth amiibo, which you can find below.

Banjo-Kazooie: 12,000 units
Terry: 8,000 units
Byleth: 8,000 units

Whenever someone mentions PlatinumGames, Bayonetta 3 is going to be brought up instantly. With each passing day, fans of the franchise grow more curious about how the game is coming along. When on earth are we going to leran something new about the game? If things go well, it seems we could learn at thing or two this year.

Platinum's Hideki Kamiya recently appeared on an official Arcade Archives stream with Hamster, and the discussion of new projects came up. Kamiya decided to jump in at this moment with a tiny tidbit on Bayonetta 3, along with other games we don't know about. You can read the comment below, as translated by NintendoEverything.

Well, I suppose… we’ve been working on new stuff like Bayonetta 3, not that I can say too much… but I hope we can give an update during the year. ...and give updates on a few more unannounced projects too. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say that, but I said it anyway.

Sounds like 2021 will finally bring us a fresh look at Bayonetta 3. Let's hope we'll also get to play the game this year!

Sarah Natochenny has been providing the voice for Ash Ketchum in the Pokemon anime since 2006. She's always done a wonderful job, bringing lots of joy and emotion to the character. Unfortunately, Natochenny has found doing the work a bit of struggle in recent times.

Over on Sarah's official Twitter, she shares comments on how the pandemic has impacted her voice work. You can see her full comments below.

Faithfully portraying a joyful character like Ash Ketchum in times like these, while sitting in a booth (my closet) by myself, is an acting challenge like you wouldn’t believe. My source of joy - no joke - the only real human source I pull from, is the joy I see in the comments from fans. Your joy and excitement is the joy and excitement I channel into Ash Ketchum.

If you want to help Sarah keep that joy, you can hit her up on Twitter here and share some kind words.
