Sunset Overdrive for PC Rated by ESRB

The ESRB has rated Insomniac Games' Sunset Overdrive for PC.

As first reported by Gematsu, this ESRB rating follows Sunset Overdrive also being rated on PC by the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea back in May.

Sunset Overdrive was released as an Xbox One exclusive in October 2014, but with the Korean Committee and the ESRB rating it looks as if Insomniac might be taking Sunset Overdrive multiplatform.

Ken Masters and Incineroar Join Super Smash Bros. Roster

Director of Nintendo, Masahiro Sakurai, announced Thursday during the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct two new fighters who are joining the roster.

So far 72 fighters have been confirmed.

The new additions include Ken Masters as a new echo fighter and Incineroar, the Pokemon who will use primarily pro wrestling moves in his fighting.

World of Light Is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Story Mode

Masahiro Sakurai has revealed Adventure Mode: World of Light, the new campaign for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

With an intro cutscene that shows rainbow-like beams vaporising almost all of Smash Bros.' characters, the mode appears to have players travelling across an overworld, and taking part in fights against fighters, seemingly to unlock them in the core game.

The mode appears to tie into the game's new Spirits system, which was also explained.

Spirits replace the series' traditional Trophies, adding a more practical application for the many franchise references that usually appear solely as collectibles.

The Spirits mode has you collecting new Spirits by taking part in bespoke challenges. Spirits can be attached to your fighters, acting as power-ups wither for your playable fighters, or as support characters for other Spirits.
