Jump Rope Challenge, the free Nintendo Switch fitness game that released in June, has just received a free update that adds several new costumes to the game’s rabbit protagonist. They’re mostly the usual suspects, but there’s one surprise.

Here’s the complete list of character costumes included in the update.

• Mario
• Luigi
• Peach
• Toad
• Bowser
• Wario
• Link
• Samus
• Isabelle
• Squid Kid (girl)
• Squid Kid (boy)
• Arcade Bunny

The most interesting addition here is Arcade Bunny, a character who has only ever featured in one other Nintendo game–Nintendo Badge Arcade, a 3DS title that handed out badges that could be attached to the system’s home screen. Arcade Bunny was a fully fleshed-out character, and since the 3DS title stopped receiving updates many fans have missed them.

New backgrounds have been added to the game too, as well as a new ability–you can now double-under by swinging your Joy-Cons very quickly.

Jump Rope Challenge will remain free to download on Nintendo Switch until September 30, 2020.

A movie based on Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid video game franchise is in the works, with Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts attached to direct it. Vogt-Roberts has now given an update on the project, but unfortunately for fans, it doesn’t sound like it’s happening anytime soon.

In an appearance on Star Wars writer Gary Whitta’s Animal Talking show, Vogt-Roberts said a script is finished, but he has yet to be given the greenlight from a studio to actually make it. He shared that he wants to do it at a sizeable budget to faithfully capture the essence of the game series.

“Look, this is my baby. I’ve been working on this thing for six years, trying to make it so it is the disruptive, punk-rock, true to Metal Gear, true to Kojima-san spirit version of what this is. I will continue to fight for it every day,” Vogt-Roberts said. “It’s a difficult thing, getting any movie made in Hollywood is hard. Getting something like Metal Gear made … it is so complex [so] it’s even harder. That’s why I’m trying to make it for a budget where you can do crazy sh**, where you can do the Metal Gear version of it where it isn’t neutered.”

Following the release of the big Call of Duty: Modern Warfare/Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update, Infinity Ward has made a few other small changes.

First, a playlist update for Modern Warfare makes a changes to what’s available to play. The Shoot the Ship playlist has been removed, while Shipment (5v5) and Shoot House (8v8) have now been separated into individual playlists.

Additionally, Modern Warfare has received a “small patch” across PS4, Xbox One, and PC that fixes two issues in particular. The Realism Moshpit was, in some cases, failing to rotate modes as it should have–but that is fixed now. Second, the CDL playlist was “not functioning as intended,” which has also been fixed.
