During a Q&A session at their recent financial results meeting for the past quarter, someone inquired about Capcom’s future support for the Switch given Ultra Street Fighter II’s success. Here’s what Capcom had to say:
The Nintendo Switch seems to be doing very well, and we look forward to further growth in its install base. Beginning with Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Nintendo Switch Ver. for Japan, we are evaluating how we will support this platform in the future.

The next two characters coming to Fire Emblem Warriors have been revealed – Cordelia and Female Robin from Fire Emblem Awakening. This reveal comes to us via the preview for this week’s Famitsu magazine, so we don’t have a whole lot of information at this point. We do know that Cordelia uses lances and fights from the back of her pegasus. We don’t know much about Female Robin yet – is she a separate character from Male Robin? Or merely a different skin you can choose?
We will have more information once we get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu tomorrow.
