Now in 2018, Nintendo plans to update more of its popular franchises with _Splatoon 2_ and a Nintendo Switch version of _Super Smash Bros_. In addition, the company announced Thursday at its Nintendo Direct event, it’s bringing a remastered version of _Dark Souls_ to the console. There’s no official name for the new _Super Smash Bros_. installment yet, but a teaser video clip showed mainstays like Mario and Link from _The Legend of Zelda_ series, as well as newcomers such as the Inklings from _Splatoon_. Inklings, the human-squid hybrids that can transform to swim through pools of ink, have never been featured in a _Super Smash Bros._ game before. The new title will be coming later this year If history is any indication, the new entry in the fighting game series is bound to be a hit on the Switch. _Super Smash Bros. for Wii U_ was the console’s fourth most popular game, while _Super Smash Bros.
