Nintendo sent a cease & desist letter to a prominent E3 leaker ahead of the Nintendo Direct tomorrow
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
If you’ve been following the general E3 coverage this year so far, you’ll know that many major announcements from various companies have leaked in advance – and much of it came from one source, a leaker known as Sabi on Twitter. Nintendo’s big E3 Nintendo Direct is tomorrow, and it seems like they weren’t going to take any chances: Sabi stated on Twitter that she has received a cease & desist letter from a lawyer representing Nintendo, meaning that she’s not allowed to reveal any private trade secrets of Nintendo Co., Ltd. According to some further posts on her account, she said she’ll stick to that, although she said she will continue to leak announcements from other companies (which might include games coming to Nintendo Switch).
Seems like Nintendo has some surprising announcements in store for tomorrow if they’re taking such actions.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses introduces Petra
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
The next Fire Emblem: Three Houses character to be introduced on the game’s official Twitter account is Petra of the Black Eagles. She’s the granddaughter of the king of the Briggid Archipelago, a group of islands west of the main continent. As the Archipelago is subservient to the Adrestian Empire, they sent Petra to the Officer’s Academy to prove their loyalty and allegiance. She’s unfamiliar with the language spoken in Fódlan, but she has been studying hard. She is voiced by Shizuka Ishigami.
Here’s a brief clip of Petra talking with Byleth, in which you can hear her unusual speech pattern:

The latest Fire Emblem: Three Houses character to be introduced via the game’s official Twitter account is Ignace of the Golden Deer. The second son of a merchant family from the Leicester Alliance, he joined the officer’s academy in order to support his parents, as his older brother will inherit the family business. However, it seems like his passion lies somewhere else. He’s kind-hearted and loves nature and art. He’s voiced by Shogo Yano.
Here’s a brief clip of Ignace talking to Byleth about art:

Fortnite version 9.20 is now available; full patch notes
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
The latest version of Fortnite is now available. Patch 9.20, among the usual bug fixes, also adds the new Storm Flip item. Here are the full patch notes:
Weapons + Items
- Storm Flip
- Thrown item that explodes on impact and creates a sphere-shaped zone.
- Where the sphere overlaps the storm, it will create a safe zone.
- Where the sphere overlaps a safe zone, it will create a storm zone.
- The Storm Flip deals the same damage as the current storm.
- The zone lasts for 20 seconds before dissipating.
- Available in Epic Rarity.
- Can be found from Floor Loot, Chests, and Vending Machines.
- Drops in stacks of 1.
- Max stack of 1.
- Vaulted
- Hunting Rifle all variants
- While we value the variety of longer range sniping options, the Hunting Rifle has become somewhat outclassed by the Infantry Rifle after it was changed to hitscan. In addition, there are a few Sniper Rifle options available and we feel it doesn’t currently fill a necessary role in the item lineup.
- Loot Carrier
- Reduced sniper package availability from 12.5% to 8.45%
- Reduced explosive package availability from 12.5% to 7.04%
- The chances of getting high-powered, rare items from Supply Drones was higher than felt appropriate, so we’ve reduced their availability slightly
- Mounted turret
- Overheat now takes 20% longer.
- The Mounted Turret’s usage has decreased over time. By slightly increasing time before Overheat, the goal is to help increase its risk/reward.
- Increased max charge time on Boom Bow from 1s to 1.25s
- The Boom Bow is a bit stronger than we’d like. This adjustment should reduce frequency between shots, making misses riskier. We’d like to evaluate the impact of this change before making any additional adjustments, and it’s possible that more tweaks will be necessary if this doesn’t have the desired effect.
- The Slipstream’s audio, pink ring, and spinning blades turn off when disabled during the fifth phase of the Storm.
- Players revived from a Reboot Van will lose invulnerability upon shooting or building.
- Air Vents are now more forgiving in order to prevent fall damage when players jump on them from high places.
