Square Enix released a new video on SaGa Scarlet Grace today. This developer interview shows off some gameplay from the Switch version in handheld mode in addition to revealing some technical details about the game (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). The Switch version will run at 1080p in docked mode and 720p in handheld mode. In both modes, it will have a max frame rate of 60 fps. The Switch version will use higher resolution textures compared to the mobile version of the game which is also coming out. Unlike the mobile versions, it will also have a opening movie and supports controller vibration.

Mario Tennis Aces

Although it isn’t playable yet, the Mario Tennis Aces demo can now be downloaded – and inevitably, that means that it got datamined. The results are seemingly the full list of playable characters, all the courts and all the bosses in singleplayer mode. Keep in mind that this info is not necessarily 100% correct or complete, but it does seem fairly likely. If you don’t mind being spoiled, head past the break for the datamined info.

Fire Emblem Heroes - Bridal Bloom

The latest Tempest Trials+ event in Fire Emblem Heroes, called Loki’s Flames, has now started. It’ll be available until June 4th. The main rewards are a 4-star Marth: Altean Groom at 1,000 points, a Attacked/Def +1 seal at 6,000 points, a Spd Smoke 1 seal at 10,000 points and a 5-star Marth: Altean Groom at 15,000 points.

Also, there is a fairly major bug regarding Spd Feint, the B skill of Tharja: Obsessive Bride. The issue is as follows: After a Hero with both Spd Feint and a Rally skill moves and uses the Rally skill on a Hero with stats that have already been boosted, the Hero with Spd Feint occasionally disappears and can no longer be controlled.

This bug only appears when you move the unit by tapping; you can avoid it by dragging the unit to move instead. This bug will be fixed with the next software update in early June.

Castle of Heart

Castle of Heart is receiving its first big update today. 7Levels has listened to feedback, and has implemented a number of features improvements.

Among what’s new is an Easy Mode and an in-game tutorial. 7Levels has also cleaned up animations, improved combat, and more.
