Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has started to update its maintenance schedule for the coming week. Things are looking relatively quiet as of now, with only one session planned for the middle of the week.

The current schedule is as follows:

Japanese magazine Famitsu published some of its last coverage for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition in this week’s issue. In that section, special developer messages were included. Original chief director / development producer Yoshito Higuchi and remaster producer Yusuke Tomizawa both shared a few words.

Here’s a full translation of what was said:

Death Road to Canada

After initially appearing on Steam a few months ago, the “HUMERUS Update” for Death Road to Canada finally went live on Switch this week. New features were added, including four-player local co-op, three gameplay modes, tweaks, and fixes.

Below are the full patch notes:

Fire Emblem Heroes has kicked off its latest summoning event. Summoning Focus: Heroes with Sword Valor has gone live.

A trio of Heroes with Sword Valor skills are now available as part of the 5-star event. If you happen to obtain these characters, they’ll come with Sword Valor skills, which grant up to double SP to all sword-equipped allies as long as the Hero with Sword Valor is active.

Summoning Focus: Heroes with Sword Valor lasts until January 20.

Nintendo Switch Online

Not too long ago, Virtuos announced some news that slipped under the radar. The developer has confirmed that it is working on both Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for Switch. This isn’t too big of a surprise given that Virtuos previously handled these re-releases for Square Enix.

Virtuos is also a good fit for Switch development. The company helped bring over L.A. Noire and Dark Souls: Remastered, and also served as the lead on Starlink: Battle for Atlas for Nintendo’s console.
