Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition is a game that we first heard about last month. Today, Ratalaika Games announced a release date of October 12 on Switch (a 3DS version is due out later).

Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition is an old school beat ’em up in which you play as the titular Squareboy who is on a quest for justice. This new version of the game has more content than the original version.

GamesIndustry spoke with Marvelous marketing manager Michael Fisher to talk all things Senran Kagura. One topic discussed is the audience playing the series, which might be somewhat surprising.

Fisher said that quite a few female players are giving Senran Kagura a shot – around 30 to 40 percent. Gamers aged 20 to 25 are also the primary demographic.

New footage of Fire Emblem Warriors has arrived showing off the English build. The latest gameplay also offers a look at the Quality and Performance Modes, which change the resolution and frame rate. Check out a few videos below.

Three new games are joining the Nintendo Selects line in Europe this Friday. Super Mario 3D Land, Kirby Triple Deluxe, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will be a part of the budget line. View a trailer for the latest Nintendo Selects below.

GameSpot posted a new video of Lost Sphear on Switch with over 25 minutes of gameplay. The footage, posted below, focuses on dungeon crawling.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Last night, a new update went out for Fire Emblem Heroes. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems now have the game at version 1.8.0.

There’s actually more to the update than what the patch notes mentioned. On the official site, a new post goes over Sacred Seals and other improvements. Find the full rundown below.

We already knew that a demo of Oceanhorn was coming to Switch at some point in October. FDG Entertainment has now confirmed that the demo will be available this Thursday, October 12th.
