Nintendo has brought out a small update for Super Mario Run, bringing the game up to version 1.1.1. It’s small in nature, as it only appears to implement bug fixes. You’ll need 167 MB for the download.

It goes without saying that Super Mario Run’s update is only for iOS users. The mobile title has yet to launch on Android, although that’ll be changing next month.

Pokemon GO is celebrating Valentine’s Day with a special event. It kicks off today at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM in the UK / 8 PM in Europe, lasting until February 15 at the same time.

Chansey, Clefable, and other pink Pokemon can be found more frequently during the event. Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will be more likely to hatch from Eggs as well. Additionally, Lure Modules will last for six hours.

Keeping in line with Valentine’s Day, the amount of Candy will be doubled for catching, hatching, and transferring Pokemon. And if that wasn’t enough, your Buddy Pokemon will find Candy twice as fast.

The Japanese website for Breath of the Wild has updated with some new footage of the game. Visiting the page will play it automatically, and you can see some more scenes of Zelda and some familiar sights for Zelda fans.

The Fire Emblem Heroes “Choose your Legends” vote wrapped up last week. Since then, fans have been wondering when we’ll be hearing about the results. It won’t be much longer, thankfully.

Nintendo said on the Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account that the results will be shared on Thursday. It’s Wednesday already in Japan, so we can basically expect to hear something within the next day or so.

Plenty of Fire Emblem aficionados participated in the vote. Nintendo said last Wednesday that 1.2 million votes were recorded.
