Corrin was one of the final characters added to Smash Bros. Wii U / 3DS. Cloud and Bayonetta amiibo have not yet released as well.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 37 Comments
Atlus has just gone live with a teaser site for what looks to be a new Radiant Historia game. Access it here.
Obviously the URL is pointing to the site being related to Radiant Historia. Other than that, a message reads: “In the near future, a history once told will unfold again. And an unknown path will come to be known.” More information will be shared in this week’s Famitsu.
While we’re generally against posting news without platforms having been confirmed, many of you know that Radiant Historia was a DS game. Hopefully Atlus will bring whatever this is to Nintendo platforms – be it Switch and / or 3DS.
