Mario Party Superstars arrives on Switch today, and to celebrate, Nintendo has shared a new trailer for the game’s launch. Check it out below.

New content has arrived for Fire Emblem Heroes, including a new hero, new Summoning Event, and new maps. Here are the full details on what content is getting added today:

A special Platinum Showcase is live now in Dragalia Lost – this one guaranteeing a Gala Dragalia Dragon from summoning. The dragons possible of being pulled are 5 star Gala Bahamut, 5 star Gala Beast Volk, and 5 star Gala Reborn Jeanne. One of these will be guaranteed for the player, but this roster does not include the featured adventurers/dragons that are running in the Gala Dragalia. This Platinum Showcase will run until November 15, 2021. 

The Gala Dragalia is running at the same time as this Platinum Showcase, but it only lasts until November 4, 2021. This event will include some new adventurers that can be summoned at an initial appearance rate of 6%. These newly included adventurers include 5 star Halloween Laxi (light/rapid-fire manacaster), 5 star Halloween Sylas (shadow/bow), and the dragon 5 star Gala Chronos Nyx (light).

Specifics about these new adventurers can be seen below. 

Pokemon Masters EX has dropped its Halloween event Poke War Games. This is a costume event that sees some of the characters dressed up for the occasion.

A main storyline contains all these characters as well as a few individual sub-stories that feature Sync Pairs. All the parts of these stories can be unlocked with Story Keys which are rewarded for playing through the main storyline.

Here is a list of all the main and sub-stories that are included in the event:

Shin Megami Tensei V Kaya-no-Hime

For Atlus’ latest Shin Megami Tensei V, we now have a look at Kaya-no-Hime. This creature is essentially a new addition and will basically be making its debut in the Switch title.

As Kaya-no-Hime is relatively unknown, we don’t have a whole lot of information about the demon just yet. However, the Megami Tensei Wiki does have a small blurb. You can read the brief description below.

There’s no real gimmick for this particular event. However, if you’re lucky enough, a Shiny Zoroark may appear.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water review

System: Switch
Release date: October 28, 2021
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Koei Tecmo


Perhaps the only thing scarier than Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water – the 2014 entry in Koei Tecmo’s long-running series of horror games about photographing ghosts – is how much time it took for this game to come to modern platforms. Quickly falling out of the spotlight upon the rapid decline of the Wii U, I was cynical about its prospects of being ported to the Switch and thus was pleasantly surprised to see it announced for current consoles earlier this year. But despite possessing a setting and tone that feels special compared to modern day ghost stories, Maiden of Black Water’s deep reliance on the versatility of the Wii U GamePad left me curious to see how it would fair without its second screen. Fortunately, Maiden of Black Water remains a darkly compelling experience that all horror fans owe it to themselves to experience – even if it feels rougher around the edges than it did originally.
