Senran Kagura

The Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 is less than a month away. One person who we can likely expect to be in attendance is Kenichiro Takaki, the creator of Senran Kagura. Takaki shared a photo on Twitter of an invite he received for the event.

Here’s a look:


Takaki’s invitation raises the question as to whether we can expect to hear any news about Senran Kagura on Switch – or maybe he’ll simply be there for the sake of it. We’ll find out when the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 is hosted on January 12 (January 13 for folks in Europe and Australia).

The Nintendo Accounts website has been updated with a new page containing a QR code for registered members. By using it, you can “check in at select Nintendo events and locations.”

Now, what’s the purpose of this? “Checking in gives you access to exclusive My Nintendo member benefits that may be available,” Nintendo says. It’s worth noting that benefits will vary, and details will be shared in the future.

Bloomberg reports, based on data from App Annie, that Super Mario Run is no longer the highest-grossing iOS app in any country as of December 24. That’s a big turnaround from the previous week, when it was the most profitable app in 49 territories.

It’s not all bad news for Super Mario Run, however. While it’s dipped from 138 countries on December 17 as the top free download, it remains at that spot in 88 nations.

Super Mario Run features a very different pricing structure from another Nintendo-related mobile title, Pokemon GO. Niantic’s game is entirely free-to-play, though Super Mario Run requires a $10 purchase to experience a majority of the game. Apptopia believes that a lower price point would give Nintendo $50 million in revenue this month as opposed to $30 million as things stand now.

Legna Tactica, which just came out in Japan last week, will be making its way west soon. Nintendo is listing the game on its website, confirming localization from Kemco.

Here’s the official overview:

“In the lands of Feyzum, where the Kingdom of Legna is drawn into the chaos of battle against the Empire of Izmoot, Leck and his friends Miana and Astar are engaged in field training as trainee soldiers. Suddenly, it is decided that they will accompany the Hero of the Kingdom of Legna, General Varrius, and the Azure Hawk Brigade which he leads, on a mission to suppress the bandits. However, they know nothing of the inescapable destiny that awaits them…

Legna Tactica is a full-scale strategy RPG with an orthodox system where players can choose party members to join turn-based tactical battles on isometric grid.

Not only the game features multiple endings based on the player choices during the story, but also titles to achieve and engaging skill tree system to customize characters as you like!

It is time to witness the fate of the lands of Feyzum!”

Legna Tactica doesn’t have a release date in North America or Europe yet. However, it’s likely that Kemco will publish the title in early 2017.
