In the UK, the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition will only be available at GAME. That information comes from the retailer’s product page located here. While that may seem like a downer, you might be able to secure a copy at stores outside of the UK since there is no exclusivity in other European territories.

Digital Foundry has returned with another game frame rate analysis. This time around, the outlet examines Pokken Tournament. The fighter is able to maintain 60 frames per second for the most part, though it does take a hit in resolution.

Digital Foundry notes that Pokken Tournament runs at 960×720, which is below 720p. This can impact backgrounds and what players see when characters are shown up close.

Take a look at the full analysis below.

According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Lovely Planet is making its way to Wii U next week. This will be a Tuesday release in North America – April 5.

Here’s a description of the game:

With boots of speed on your feet, an infinite supply of bullets for your semi-automatic and the ability to jump over twice your own height, you’re well equipped to go up against any enemy on your quest to reach Lovely Planet! Balance between jumping around dodging bullets and taking aim for a better shot at your enemies, don’t waste time camping at cover spots and waiting for enemies to pop out – artfully evade the onslaught of bullets and defeat all baddies that stand in your way!

Lovely Planet will be priced at $9.99. But since it was included in the Nindies@Home program last year, those who downloaded the demo should be able to save 15 percent.

Thanks to MrValtor for the tip.
