Fire Emblem Heroes: Amelia and Tana’s Battle summoning focus, Bound Hero Battle, and Fire Emblem Warriors Special Maps’ return are now live
Posted on 7 years ago by Andrew in Mobile, News | 1 Comment
A new summoning focus and Bound Hero Battle are now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. The summoning focus is called “Amelia and Tana’s Battle” and it features 5 star versions of Eirika, Tana, and Amelia.
The new Bound Hero Battle event is also tied in with this new summoning focus and you will be battling against Amelia and Tana in 3 difficulty levels (Hard, Lunatic, Infernal). Clearing each map can score you some orbs to collect.
This summoning focus & Bound Hero Battle will only be available until November 24th.
Finally in order to celebrate the release of the first DLC Pack for Fire Emblem Warriors, the set of Special Maps based on that game are back for a limited time. Just like last time, you can earn Orbs by clearing those maps, but you can not if you already cleared them during the first run. The maps will be available until January 14th.

The Sexy Brutale will be patched on Switch to improve performance and resolution, address tech issues
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Tequila Works brought The Sexy Brutale to Switch last week. Although the game itself is generally considered to be quite good, unfortunately, the Switch port has not gone over well. We’ve been starting to hear that it’s plagued by technical issues.
Tequila Works is at least on the case. In a tweet sent out on the official Twitter account today, the studio promised that a patch is in the works to improve performance and resolution, and to address other problems.
Sexy Brutale fans,
We wanted to let you know that we are working on a patch for the Switch version. The patch is to improve performance and resolution on handheld and TV mode, to solve some freezing issues, and to fix some text strings. We hope it can be ready next week!— TheSexyBrutale (@SexyBrutale) December 13, 2017

Apptopia: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp hits 25 million downloads, $17 million in revenue
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 7 Comments
Apptopia has offered up new data about the performance of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Between iOS and Android, the mobile title is said to have been downloaded over 25 million times and has achieved $17 million.
Apptopia cautions that the new Animal Crossing title will not match the successes of Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes. It believes the lack of a multiplayer mode is key, as that tends to drive revenue for other mobile releases.
