Fire Emblem Heroes

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced that the Hall of Forms event will start on June 25 in Fire Emblem Heroes, lasting until July 9. Players will be tasked with devising a strategy to guide special units made in the image of Heroes called Forma safely through the Hall of Forms. It’ll feature Eirika: Gentle as Snow, Ephraim: Sparking Gallantly, Tana: Noble and Nimble, and Innes: Flawless Form as this event’s Forma.

Also announced today, Special Heroes Revival: Summer Returns is now live. Four Heroes trying to keep their cool under a scortching summer sun are back to battle as part of the 5-star summoning focus.

Nintendo Switch

Switch production has been heavily impacted since the coronavirus pandemic began. Retailers have struggled to have a consistent amount of stock, and it hasn’t been easy for new consumers to purchase the system. Thankfully though, the situation is finally getting back on track.

Speaking with CareerConnection, a Nintendo representative said that Switch production has returned to normal. It is also aware of situations such as resellers buying up consoles and selling them for a very high amount.

The only slight downside is that Nintendo can’t say when exactly shortages will end, and when retailers will have ample stock. That’s because it depends on the market itself, the company said.
