If you have a Japanese eShop account, you can now download a demo for Yumeutsutsu Re:Master. The girls-love visual novel about a fledgling game company will be released in Japan on June 13. A Western release had previously been confirmed for Spring, but that was before the Japanese release date was moved to June 13.

The CD will contain all songs from that concert, as well as these six bonus songs (not from Off the Hook):

Today, another Tap Battle is making its return to Fire Emblem Heroes. Illusory Dungeon – Shadowed Memories will be available again until June 13, allowing you to get its rewards if you missed it the first time around.

MotoGP 19 will be released on Nintendo Switch on June 27. Sadly, just like MotoGP 18, it’ll miss one crucial feature: the Switch version won’t have online multiplayer. Instead, 8-player local multiplayer with multiple Switch systems will be possible.

Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp to end services in Belgium on August 27 due to gambling laws
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Nintendo announced today that it will end services for Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp in Belgium on August 27 this year. This is due to a recent change to certain gambling laws in Belgium, making in-game loot boxes that can be purchased with real money illegal. The law is not 100% clear, but it seems like Nintendo decided to err on the side of caution and remove these games entirely from the Belgian market. Until August 27, both Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp can still be played normally and players can still use Orbs and Leaf Tickets, respectively. After August 27, both games can no longer be played or downloaded.
Additionally, future Nintendo games with similar business models won’t be released in Belgium.
E-mails going out to people accepted into the Mario Kart Tour beta test in Japan
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Update: Emails are also going out in North America (thanks Adam S and Mark G). See the screenshot below.
Original: Nintendo has barely talked it, so you might not be aware that the closed beta test for Mario Kart Tour starts this Wednesday, May 22. As a reminder, only Android users in Japan and the United States could apply for a spot in the test. It seems like Nintendo has now started sending out e-mails to those who got a spot in the closed beta test, at least in Japan. Twitter user siinarei_rin000 posted a screenshot of an e-mail they received from Nintendo. Nintendo themselves haven’t officially confirmed yet that they have started sending out invites for the beta test, but since the beta starts in two days, it seems reasonable that they’d start doing that now.

Trainer customization confirmed for Pokemon Sword & Shield, more info in next month’s CoroCoro
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Screenshots, Switch | 0 comments
In a sort of roundabout way, it’s been confirmed that you’ll be able to customize your trainer’s clothes in Pokemon Sword & Shield. In Japan, Uniqlo held a contest in collaboration with The Pokemon Company in which participants could design t-shirts with a Pokemon theme. The winning design will be mass-produced and go on sale. Today, the winning design has been revealed – plus the fact that it will also be available in the upcoming Pokemon Sword & Shield as a customization option for the player character.
Additonally, the next issue of CoroCoro magazine will contain more new information on Pokemon Sword & Shield. That issue will be available on June 21, however, ten days after Nintendo’s E3 presentation, so it seems unlikely that CoroCoro will reveal a ton of actual new info.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses introduces Ferdinand
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
The latest Fire Emblem: Three Houses character to be introduced by the game’s Japanese Twitter account is Ferdinand of the Black Eagles. He’s the eldest son of the Aegir family, who pass down the position of prime minister. He’s very proud of his family’s status as one of the most distinguished noble families. He’s extremely confident and hates losing. As such, he sees Edelgard as a kind of rival. He’s voiced by Ban Taito.
Here’s a brief clip of him talking to Byleth:
