Dragalia Lost has added a new story chapter. This is chapter 18: The Forest of the Faeries, and it has players teaming up with a proud sylvan warrior to defeat a longtime foe. This is part one in an ongoing series and it also allows for more dragons to be unbound using Draconic essences.

There is also a new update coming on February 24. This will be adding several new features including Shapeshifting in Auto-Play, equipment sets, team copy, and more. The full details of this upcoming update can be found here.

This website contains a lot of details on the project, as well as gameplay glimpses and screenshots. This will be the domain that will be updated with pertinent information as Square Enix makes it available.

The website can be found here, and the full visuals are included below.

One of the many announcements made during today’s Nintendo Direct was Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, an updated version of the Wii game for Switch. We’re now able to see how the two versions compare thanks to ElAnalistaDeBits.

Here’s a comparison video for the new Switch edition and original Wii release:

Mario Golf: Super Rush

Nintendo and Camelot are expanding the offerings of Mario sports games on Switch with Mario Golf: Super Rush. The game was just revealed during the Nintendo Direct earlier today.

We already know of several playable characters in Mario Golf: Super Rush. Nintendo has already confirmed Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Bowser, Wario, Toad, and Yoshi (not to mention Miis as well). Yet another character seems to have been revealed, though perhaps inadvertently.

Maglam Lord

D3 Publisher and Felistella have gone live with the third trailer for Maglam Lord, the upcoming action RPG for Switch. A video focusing on Morv can be found below.

Maglam Lord launches for Switch in Japan on March 18. Past character trailers can be found for Darris here and Charme here.

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

Switch has been home to many games from Nintendo’s past, particularly when it comes to Wii U. Most of the company’s major games from the Wii U era have ended up on the Big N’s current console in one form or another.

Of course, not everything has made the jump just yet. A couple of titles standout in particular in light of today’s news regarding Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Many fans of the series are hoping that The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD, both of which appeared on Wii U, will make their way over to Switch as well.
