/// South Park: The Fractured but Whole’s Difficulty Slider Changes the Color of Your Skin!
During the character creation section of the game, which you can see in this video (skip to the five minutes and 40 seconds mark), you’re able to change the color of your character’s skin, as you’d expect. What’s interesting is the easier the difficulty, the lighter your character’s skin. Conversely, the harder the difficulty, the darker your character’s skin. It means if you want to play The Fractured but Whole on a harder than normal difficulty, you have to play as a person of color.

/// Nioh’s Final DLC, Bloodshed’s End, Launches September 26!
Other than additional main missions, sub missions and Twilight missions, one of the most interesting features of Bloodshed’s End is a new mode called The Abyss. Here, the strongest warriors can test their skills in a perpetual battleground.
This new mode offers epic battles and unique challenges for the most skilled players. We’ll have more to reveal on this mode before launch.
As always, this DLC will provide you with the usual suspects to complete your Nioh experience — new Yokai, new characters, a new difficulty level and new Guardian Spirits.
You have fought well against insurmountable odds, slain countless deadly Yokai, defied death again and again… but there remains one more brutal trial. I hope you will celebrate the final chapter of the remarkable Sengoku era with Bloodshed’s End, launching September 26 for $9.99 (or for free if you own a Nioh season pass).

/// Nintendo: We Never Expected the Nintendo Switch to Sell This Much!
“Nintendo has never expected the Nintendo Switch to sell this much,” said a representative of the company.
“It’s easy to increase the production capacity of the factory. The finished product needs to be delivered from the harbor to the rest of the world, and rushing shipping is an extremely difficult thing to do.”
The difficult part is getting enough components for the console, because of other companies, like Apple, are purchasing the same components.
Nintendo plans on shipping 10 million units of the Switch this year, however, “in reality there are 20 million people who actually want to buy one.”
