Adventure Academia The Fractured Continent trailer

Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent makes its debut on Switch in the west today, and PQube is celebrating with a new trailer. Another look at the strategy RPG is available.

Here’s an overview of the game with more details:

Fire Emblem Engage amiibo

Some have wondered whether or not Fire Emblem Engage will support amiibo. In the game’s latest Japanese trailer as well as an official tweet (get a quick look here), that news was confirmed.

amiibo essentially works in two ways. The more notable feature is that by scanning a Fire Emblem figure, you’ll receive a costume based on that character plus a music track from the game they appear in. Other amiibo are compatible as well, and while it’s less exciting, you’ll at least receive items that can help you during your adventure.
