The Jamke Grand Hero Battle has returned to Fire Emblem Heroes. If you missed him the first time around, you now have another chance to obtain him; the Grand Hero Battle will be available until February 24th. As always, there are also some quests available that’ll reward you with orbs and additional copies of Jamke.

The latest and 11th Fishing Tourney is now live in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

This time around, the event is taking place in Saltwater Shores, and will again require players to catch as many tourney fish as they can. These can then be exchanged for in-game trophies and prizes. The necessary fish types are horseshoe crab, chambered nautilus, and coelacanth.

The event is set to last until February 25th, with players able to redeem for rewards until February 26th. Images for the event can be viewed below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Animal Crossing dips a spot while Dragon Quest XI S moves up one, and Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy! appears for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between January 31 and February 6.

Much like Famitsu has done in the past, Japanese magazine CoroCoro recently held a contest in Japan in which fans were given an opportunity to design new gear for Splatoon 2. The winning entry has now been announced.

Known as the “Mecha Gear”, Nintendo will turn the design pictured above into gear that can be used in the game itself. Those who purchase the May issue of CoroCoro will find a download code for the new content. The upcoming magazine goes on sale starting April 25.

Hello, my lovely Hylians!

Also, we can’t figure out why Kingdom Hearts keeps on coming up during this episode. Is it fate? Like, is any of this for real… or not?

A big thank you to all of our listeners and to those who share the podcast. NEP keeps growing! We hope you’re enjoying the show. Please leave us your feedback, and check below for more details and timestamps.
