There’s been plenty of talk surrounding Fire Emblem Fates since it was reported that the title wouldn’t feature the petting mini-game included in the original Japanese release. It’s been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least, but believe it or not, we have something new pertaining to the situation.

Apparently, the petting mini-game hasn’t been cut entirely. We’re hearing that it’s still there for units that have S-supports and/or potentially A+ supports with Corrin.

We’ve embedded the relevant portion from GameSpot’s episode of “The Lobby”, which talks about how the mini-game hasn’t been entirely removed. One editor speaks about rubbing your marriage partner’s face to wake them up and blowing into your 3DS’ microphone to remove steam after they’ve taken a bath.

Last week, Nintendo brought out the final DLC characters in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Director Masahiro Sakurai gets reflective in his Famitsu column with development having wrapped up. His piece is about exhaustion and stimulation. Based on what’s written, it seems to refer to a cycle with continuous updates, where a game starts being exciting, but over time people may get a little bored (exhausted), and that’s when the development staff have to think about new things (schemes) and implement them into the game so that it becomes exciting again (stimulant).

Sakurai starts off by touching on Smash Bros. DLC just slightly. Aside from Lucas and Roy – who have been represented in Smash before – the DLC characters were made to offer unique gameplay. Sakurai refers to Corrin with his transformation and super range as well as Bayonetta who makes use of special combos, gun shots, and Witch Time.
