Plenty of new content coming to Fire Emblem Heroes this week – not only does a new Voting Gauntlet event start on Wednesday, but even before that, the next Grand Hero Battle will begin. Starting tomorrow, you will be able to challenge Navarre on a special map. Defeat him and he will join you.

As with all Grand Hero Battles, a new Summoning Focus will be available for a limited time. That one will feature Caeda, Effie, Kagero and Sophia.

It was back in 2014 when we first heard about Animal Gods. Still Games funded its project on Kickstarter, and promised a version for Wii U.

Animal Gods ended up releasing towards the end of 2015. About a year and a half later, it’s finally launching on Wii U. A listing on the eShop shows a date of April 6.

We have the following overview:

The Animal Gods have fallen. Once sacred, they are now husks—haunted beasts lost to toxic fumes from a great bronze industry. Play as Thistle, a small & agile warrior hellbent on destroying the curse that plagues these creatures. Wield a 17th century BC Bronze Sword… and set the Gods free.

Key Features

Cloak of Flame
Dash / warp through toxic-maze like rivers. Dashing moves Thistle a fixed distance over a fixed amount of time and upgrades to The Long Dash.

Map of The Unholy
Lets you choose dungeons in any order. Journey to the Gardens of Gwyn, the Halls of Eynd, and the Coast of Syn. Find the weapon and weapon upgrade in each dungeon to defeat the Animal Gods.

Light Puzzling
Puzzles rely on approximately 75% skill and 25% strategy. Each dungeon asks players to assess the obstacle ahead and approach cautiously. Puzzles are largely skill-based requiring a hint of strategy and luck.

Character Driven Story
Find notes left by occult-leader Rodrik, starry-eyed Juliette and Scientist Sven. Animal Gods’ story balances the relationship between three key characters and their ties to the dark underbelly of the City of Sky Mirror.

Lives-09-Mode
09-Lives mode unlocks after successfully completing Animal Gods on “normal” and challenges you to complete dungeons with 09-lives or less.

And some screenshots:

Pokemon GO got off to an incredible start last summer. It essentially became a phenomenon, and had millions upon millions playing each day.

No one expected Pokemon GO to keep up its initial playerbase and revenue stream. Still, by the end of last year, it was still doing fairly well.

As reported by Recode based on comScore data, Pokemon GO was averaging around five million daily unique visitors late last year. That’s a far cry from the initial 28.5 million, but respectable nonetheless.

LEGO Dimensions still hasn’t released a number of previously-announced packs, including content based on The Powerpuff Girls. Despite the lack of updates since the initial news was shared several months ago, Warner Bros. and TT Games haven’t ditched their original plans.

First details about upcoming LEGO Dimensions packs based on The Powerpuff Girls were made known when Cartoon Network announced its 2017-18 lineup this week. Two different products are planned. Along with a Team Pack, a new Fun Pack is lined up as well.

The Team Pack will Blossom and Bubbles minifigures while the Fun Pack has Buttercup. Both let players fly around in the Townsville Hub, featuring Pokey Oaks elementary, City Hall, Rainbow Land, the Pickle Museum, and Professor Utonium’s lab.

A release date for The Powerpuff Girls packs wasn’t mentioned. However, it looks like new LEGO Dimensions packs will begin to ship in May.

Playtonic is comprised of many former staffers from Rare. It makes sense then that for the team’s debut title, an Easter egg was included from one of their earlier works.

GameXplain came across one little secret referencing Conker’s Bad Fur Day, a platformer from the N64 era. We won’t reveal it here, but it amounts to a book’s name being the same as a line spoken by Conker. GameXplain has the full rundown below.
