City Connection prepared a new batch of screenshots for its Penguin Wars remake on Switch, which we have below.

Just like in the original, the game still has players throwing ten balls at each other’s sides of the field as they attempt to take down their opponent’s HP. One-on-one and two-on-two modes are in along with special rules, new music, and more.

Penguin Wars is due out this fall in Japan for 1,800 yen.

Yo-kai Watch is getting its next big update, version 4.0, sometime this summer. View a new commercial promoting the patch below.

Along with today’s screenshots, Koei Tecmo published a new wave of details for Fire Emblem Warriors. Read up on the information about Female Robin, Cordelia, and gameplay mechanics below, courtesy of Gematsu.

Robin (Female) (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro)

Cordelia (voiced by Eimi Okada)

TumbleSeed’s “4 Peaks Update” has gone live on Switch. This is the patch that adds new modes, adjusts the difficulty, and much more.

Chucklefish published a new blog for Wargroove earlier today covering three different topics. We’re able to learn about archers, passive abilities, and reinforcements. The full details from Chucklefish’s new post can be found below.

Lately we have spent a considerable effort in balancing the game, and figuring out exactly how all the game mechanics need to work for a fun, interesting experience, while preventing the game from becoming too overwhelming. Today I’d like to talk about some of those.

First, we needed an early game ranged unit, to provide tactical coverage for your front line melee units. Units like trebuchets add a lot of tactical options to the game, but are quite expensive. To solve this, we introduced archers, which are infantry units that can shoot at range 3. One thing that makes them behave differently from trebuchets is that archers can move and attack on the same turn, whereas trebuchets can only do one of the two actions on each turn.
