Nintendo will have an update on its financials not too long from now. The company’s next Fiscal Year Earnings Release will be issued on April 27, the company confirmed today.

Obviously we’ll be receiving an update on Nintendo’s performance for the overall fiscal year ending March 31. That should include news about Switch’s sales as well.

It was actually on April 27 of last year when we heard that Switch would be launching the following March. Nintendo also announced the Switch version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and confirmed that it would be its only game at E3 2016. Finally, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing titles for mobile were made known.

We shouldn’t necessarily expect similar-sized announcements this time around. Still, there’s a possibility that Nintendo could share some news.

Four new CPSIA certificates have popped up on Nintendo’s website. The full set received dates of March 6.

Based on the filings, it would seem that these are all tied to the Smash Bros. amiibo line in one form or another. The figures are known to start with “AA”, and as it turns out, that’s what these new ones have as well.

We’re still waiting on Bayonetta, Cloud, and Corrin to release. It’d be certainly be nice if Nintendo had something to say about when we’ll be getting these figures.

Mr. Squishy has managed to fully recreate the Pokemon Red experience in Minecraft. After working on the project for 21 months, he shared the fruits of his labor on Reddit this past weekend. We posted about something similar last year with FireRed, though this one is entirely finished.

357,000 command blocks were used here. It contains “all of the original game’s features, along with a few iconic bugs.” Since the project done manually, Mr. Squishy walked the equivalent of 2,832.89 kilometers in-game.

Minecraft fans can play Pokemon Red in the game through a realistic Game Boy. It’s even possible to customize the color of the shell.

The download link for the relevant files is located here. Keep in mind that you’ll need to roll back Minecraft a few versions in order for it to work.

We’re a little ways into March, so we want to know what everyone is up to with their gaming sessions as of late. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is no doubt something that many of you are playing, but I’m willing to bet there are at least a few of you out there who are spending your time with something else. Plus, I know some folks enjoy going through more than one game at once.

So what are you playing right now? Is Zelda: Breath of the Wild indeed taking up most of your time? Let us know in the comments below.

Fire Emblem 0 series 8 is coming to Japan on March 17. Since that date is so close, a live stream was held to show off what’s in store in the near future as well as a few months from now.

Not only cards from series 8, but also ones from series 9 were on display. Additionally, we also have news about series 10. Thracia 776, Fates, and Heroes will all be represented there.

If that wasn’t enough, the Japanese Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia – Valentia Complete edition was shown. This included a look at the box, special edition, Blu-ray, and promo cards.

Serenes Forest’s Kirie recaps the entire event below:

Swap Fire normally costs $14.99 on the North American Wii U eShop. Either the developer is feeling extra generous, or someone made an error as the game is currently showing as free.

Even if you’re not interested in Swap Fire, it might be worth “purchasing” regardless. We’re hearing that it’s giving users 20 Gold Points on My Nintendo.

You can order Swap Fire from Nintendo’s website here. It should probably be up on the eShop itself as well.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
