The Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) card game is out now in Japan. Some of you may be wondering about how it’s actually played. Thanks to some details translated by Siliconera, we have the full rundown. A summary of information can be found below.

– Cards have illustrations from various artists
– The big number on the bottom-left shows its strength with a support power number to the right
– The card also has other information on the class unit, range, and skills
– Play with 50-card decks
– 1-on-1 battles
– Begin by choosing your “protagonist”
– Then you’ll fight it out with the help of other cards from your respective decks
– Need to defeat the other player’s protagonist
– Both players will draw a card that becomes their supporting character
– Add the strength from the original card and the support power of the other
– You can then see which side has the higher attack
– If your number is the same or higher than the opponent’s, it counts as a successful attack
– Both players have two sides to their respective fields: the frontline area and the back row area
– Cards with higher strength do better in the frontline
– In the frontline, they can take out enemies directly in front of them
– Those with higher ranged numbers can attack from the back row, and are difficult to hit
– Everything is turn-based
– Both players obtain more cards to attack with over time
– Cards come with all kinds of skills
– Cards can also work with other cards using their skills

Nami Tentou Mushi, developer of Ping 1.5+, is planning a new first-person shooter for the Wii U eShop.

Just a few details about the mystery title have been shared thus far. Nami Tentou Mushi hopes to support sixteen players online, while local multiplayer will allow five players to battle it out. It will be possible to create levels through a “Grid” system, and there will be eight characters to choose from with unique traits, weapon sets, and more. Expect over-the-top-styled gameplay as well as “zany” items and match-changing items.

Nami Tentou Mushi shooter will sport cel-shaded visuals. Due to its violence and language, it should be an “M” rated game.

Watch a teaser trailer for the new FPS – tentatively going by the name #SECRETPROJECT – below.

Building off rumors concerning Nintendo and Amazon’s relationship comes additional speculation about NX. Here’s the latest:

– When Nintendo announced their mobile games, Amazon was very interested in having the games also be on the Amazon App store.
– Nintendo games will be on the Amazon store on day one, or shortly after Play Store and App Store.
– Amazon is asking Nintendo what they need to do to have Amazon App Store games play on Nintendo consoles
– Amazon got the impression that Nintendo is thinking about emulating Android games.
– Nintendo will not create an Android system, but instead will emulate Android games. It’s not something that’s confirmed, but just an interpretation of the conversations.

All of today’s rumors stem from reports made by Revogamers. Those who missed the original post can read up on it here.

Spanish outlet Revogamers has put up a pair of new rumors about Nintendo. We’re generally wary about posting speculation, but the site did publish accurate reports last year about amiibo and Nintendo characters joining Skylanders.

In any case, here’s what Revogamers passed along:

Nintendo & Disney negotiate a big deal: films, videogames and interactive toys and merchansing

– amiibo are not included in Disney Infinity 3.0 because both companies have yet to set an agreement
– Disney wanted to have a Mario figure in Infinity, but Nintendo refused to lend their most important character
– This is not a dead end in the negotiation
– Both companies have been in conversations for years, as Disney has asked Nintendo many times to have Mario in films and other media
– Under new Nintendo rules (licensing characters) options for Disney are widened: they are talking about Mario starring in films, probably something related to Wreck it Ralph
– Disney is after Nintendo to have a game with Mario and Mickey together
– Nintendo is open to it but wants to set their own pace for it

Nintendo mobile games on Amazon Appstore

– Nintendo will offer their mobile games through Amazon Appstore
– The American company was the one approaching their Japanese partner for the deal
– In response, Nintendo asked Amazon about Amazon TV games
– It is not clear what is this for, but people at Amazon think that there is something related to Android in Nintendo’s future
– Nintendo is moving some of their data out of Amazon Cloud Servers, probably to DeNA ones

Obviously both of these rumors aren’t at all confirmed currently. I’ll let you be the ones to decide if they hold any truth!
