An update for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been released that supposedly fixes some of the game’s framerate problems in certain areas. The folks over at GameXplain put that to the test and released a video where they compare the game’s performance before and after applying the patch. Turns out that it does indeed cause the game to run at an improved framerate. Check out the full video below:

Just like in the first game, you will have the ability to reroll abilities on a piece of gear in Splatoon 2. This task is once again performed by a sea urchin – not Spyke though. Instead, a new character called “Spiky” (this is his Japanese name, could likely be changed in the English), who is said to be an admirer of Spyke, will do this for you. In the example image, rerolling all three abilities on a pair of shoes is shown to cost 20,000 gold. It will also be possible to use Super Sea Snails to pay for this service, though we don’t know yet how they can be obtained in Splatoon 2.

When you reroll abilities, you will also get “Ability Fragments”, which can be used to add abilities to a piece of gear, if you collect enough of them.

The first update for Monster Hunter XX is now available. Patch 1.1.0 fixes a certain weapon crafting bug and changes the way save data is processed; the latter is being done to circumvent a certain issue which prevents the SD card from being recognized by the game. This patch is required if you want to keep playing online.

Atlus has shared some new information about Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. The following was translated by Gematsu.

First up, some info on the staff working on the game. The director is Mitsuru Hirata, who was the director of the original Radiant Historia game, the chief director of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and has also worked on several Shin Megami Tensei titles such as Shin Megami Tensei IV and SMT: Strange Journey.

The music is being done by the legendary Yoko Shimomura, who has composed dozens of excellent game soundtracks, including series like Kingdom Hearts, Mario & Luigi, Xenoblade Chronicles and the original Radiant Historia. She composed five new tracks for the 3DS version.

Responsible for the new characters designs is Masaki Hirooka, who previously worked on Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Suikoden Tierkreis and Kid Icarus: Uprising. Hirooka also drew several new event scenes.

The new animated opening movie is being produced by A-1 Pictures, a prestigious animation studio responsible for works such as Fairy Tail, Erased, Your Lie in April and the recent Ace Attorney anime.

The story remains largely the same as in the original game, with the main character Stocke being caught up in a war between the countries Granorg and Alistel while he discovers his ability to travel between alternate histories.

A new character called Nemesia appears in the 3DS version. She is a historian that doesn’t belong to either of the two main timelines, but rather the new “Sub-History” timeline. She’s looking for a material known as “Artifact”.

Most of the original’s gameplay mechanics stay the same in this remake, such as the ability to travel between certain points in the alternate histories, the ability to perform various actions in the overworld and the game’s unique grid-based combat system.

Head past the break for some more info on what has changed in the remake as well as tons of new screenshots and art.

A new update for Fire Emblem Heroes was released today and besides the new content that was officially released today, it also contains hints of what will be added to the game in the future. Dataminers have uncovered three Summoning Foci and the next Grand Hero Battle.

One focus, seen above, features Caeda, Effie, Kagero and Sophia. This one will likely accompany the next Grand Hero Battle, which will feature Navarre. Then there are two more Summoning Foci – one featuring pegasus knights (Hinoka, Cordelia, Subaki and Palla) and one featuring wyvern riders (Camilla, Beruka, Cherche and Minerva). Since all 8 of these characters are fliers, it’s possible that they will be part of the game’s next Voting Gauntlet event.
