We know that Fire Emblem Heroes is getting a “Special Heroes” summoning event starting on May 21st. This summoning focus will last for a whole month, which usually means that it will feature Heroes in special themed outfits. Last year around this time, we got the Bridal Blessings summoning focus with female characters in wedding-themed outfits. It seems like we will get a similar theme this year, judging by the teaser image showing silhouettes of two of the characters that’ll be available through the focus.

Square Enix has released the “May overview” trailer for Octopath Traveler. Like the trailer they released last month, this one also introduces new characters, classes and gameplay features. The game’s official website has also been updated.

Most importantly, it introduces the final two playable characters – Ophilia and Cyrus. Cyrus is a scholar working at the royal university. An incredibly curious and knowledgable person, his Path Action is “Explore”. This lets him find out hidden details and information about other characters. During combat, he can reveal the weaknesses of enemies and exploit them using fire, ice and lightning magic.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has revealed that Little Dragons Café, the newest simulation game from Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada, will be released in Japan on August 30th. We don’t have a concrete Western release date yet, but last we heard, Rising Star Games, who are publishing the game in Europe, have said that the game will launch in Europe “this Summer”. It seems quite likely that August 30th could be the game’s worldwide release date, though we don’t know for sure yet.

Part of the paid Nintendo Switch Online service is a selection of NES games with added online functionality. 20 of those will be available at launch, with more to be added later. Being able to play classic games (albeit not online) has previously been done on Nintendo systems with the Virtual Console service, with the difference that games had to be purchased individually. For a while now, it has seemed increasingly likely that a Virtual Console like on Wii, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS would not be coming to the Nintendo Switch – and this has now been confirmed.

Kotaku inquired about a possible Virtual Console on Switch, and received the following answer from a Nintendo spokesperson via e-mail:

The latest Jake Hunter game has been announced, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch. The game’s full title is Jake Hunter Detective Story: Prism of Eyes. This is pretty much all we can glean from the preview images of this week’s Famitsu magazine, but we should have more info once we have access to the full issue later this week.
