Dragalia Lost director Yuji Okada today published the latest “This Month in Dragalia Lost” letter. In it, Okada goes over the upcoming Monster Hunter collaboration event, teases some plans for 2020, and more.

Here’s the piece in full:

One of the earliest announcements made for Wii U was Metro: Last Light. That release ended up being cancelled in the end, but the first-person shooter IP may now finally be making an appearance on Nintendo’s console with Metro Redux for Switch.

Metro Redux was first rumored for the Big N’s platform after a listing popped up on a Portuguese retailer website. Then more significantly, the European ratings board PEGI just added in a rating yesterday. Those two pages combined all but suggest that an announcement is imminent. 

Metro Redux bundles together Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. There were technical and gameplay improvements, including enhanced animations. It’s unclear what exactly we can expect from the Switch version, though we’ve included some additional information and a trailer below. 

Fire Emblem Heroes has kicked off a new round of events in celebration of New Year’s. These include the Renewed Spirit, New Year’s of Fire and Ice, and Happy New Year summoning events, Voting Gauntlet: Kingdoms vs. Empires, log-in bonuses, Aether Raid event, and New Year! quests.

It’s also been announced that Tempest Trials+: Mid-fest Digest is starting soon. Players will be able to obtain the 5-star Special Hero Eir: Renewed Life and three Sacred Seals: Swift Sparrow 1, Spd Feint 1, and HD/Def 1.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is kicking it old-school this week with another brand new tournament. This time around, the theme is actually dedicated to a previous entry in the series.

When the event begins, players will only be able to use fighters and stages from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Items will also appear from the classic GameCube game.

The new tournament goes live on January 3.

Nintendo has started ringing in the New Year with all sorts of illustrations and messages across its various Twitter accounts. We’ve rounded up the ones we’ve come across below.
