Nintendo’s financial results briefing for the third quarter of the current fiscal year took place last week. As always, there was a Q&A session with investors at the end of the meeting. Nintendo’s official English translation of the transcript of that Q&A is now available here. 

From Nintendo’s board of directors, Shuntaro Furukawa (President and Representative Director), Shinya Takahashi (Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer), Shigeru Miyamoto (Representative Director, Fellow), Ko Shiota (Director, Senior Executive Officer) and Satoru Shibata (Director, Senior Executive Officer) were present. Naturally, most of the questions and answers center around sales and business strategies, but they also touch upon Nintendo’s collaboration with LINE for Dr. Mario World, video game addiction, the number of female employees Nintendo has and more. There aren’t any groundbreaking new announcements, but it’s an interesting read nonetheless.

The first paid piece of DLC for Dragon Quest Builders 2, the “Japanese-Style Pack”, will be available in late February in Japan. This DLC pack was initially scheduled to launch in April, but Square Enix seemingly moved the launch forward a bit. It’ll cost 700 Yen and feature various classic Japanese-inspired items and materials such as lanterns, wall scrolls, futons and more. Square Enix will show off the DLC in more detail in a live stream which will take on February 13 at 9PM JST on their Youtube channel.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been out since December 20 last year in Japan. It’ll launch sometime this year in the West. It’s not clear yet how Square Enix will handle DLC packs such as this one for the Western release.

The Special Heroes: Greil’s Devoted Summoning Focus is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. Until March 3rd, you have the chance to get Ike, Mist, Soren and Greil in their special Day of Devotion outfits. As always, since these are considered Special Heroes, they won’t be added to the regular summoning pool once this Summoning Focus ends. There’s also a new Paralogue story featuring these Heroes, as well as some time-limited quests.

As part of the game’s second anniversary celebration, another Summoning Focus is available only today – Ephraim & Myrrh’s Bound Hero Battle. The 5-star focus units are Myrrh: Great Dragon, Ephraim: Restoration Lord and Eirika: Anamnesis Lady.

Finally, the Special Orb Promo for February is now available. You can purchase 21 orbs and get 60 Sacred Coins as an additional gift.
