Severed Steel Rogue Steel update

A big “Rogue Steel” update has just dropped for Severed Steel on Switch.

This is a pretty significant patch with new content, features, and improvements. Some of the highlights include the Rogue Steel mode, new weapons, support for gyro controls, and performance improvements.

The full patch notes for the Severed Steel “Rogue Steel” update are as follows:

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse physical

Original (11/5): Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will have a physical release on Switch in Asia that supports English, it’s been revealed.

In North America and Europe, the situation is different. The new Switch version of Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will only be sold digitally in the west. That means if you’re interested in adding a physical copy to your collection, you’ll need to do so by importing the title from Asia. However, that shouldn’t be an issue for most fans since Switch is a region-free console.

Fire Emblem Engage Ike

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are kicking off the week with a Fire Emblem Engage character introduction for Ike, yet another classic hero for the game. The latest update again comes from the official Japanese Twitter account with SatsumaFS sharing translations.

Ike, who is the Emblem of Radiance, is a famous leader of a mercenary band. He also has unrivaled combat prowess. Ike is strong in offensive power and durability, and gets more powerful as he loses more health. It’s noted that he’s a good Emblem for taking the heat from enemies with his defenses and power ups at low HP.

A new update has just gone live for Pokemon Masters EX, bringing the game to version 2.28.0. This is one of the title’s regular monthly updates, and this one in particular seems to be adding in quite a few new elements.

The main new feature present in the update is the ability to customize your main character’s appearance, specifically by changing their hair color, hairstyle and hat. Other improvements include the ability to view the teams and replays of other trainers who’ve cleared certain areas, a rework of the Legendary Gauntlet, a change to the damage display, and several smaller tweaks and bug fixes.

Check below for the full patch notes for the update.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and Rune Factory 3 Special appear for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 8 and December 14.

A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include the lowest prices ever for Bug Fables, Cat Quest II, Cozy Grove, Goat Simulator, Huntdown, Ion Fury, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and more.

Here are the full highlights:

Fae Farm preview

Phoenix Labs recently hosted a preview event for their upcoming Switch-exclusive Fae Farm. As only the second game from the developer, it takes a drastically different approach than the team’s first hack-and-slash monster slayer Dauntless. Coming from frantic combat and vicious creatures, Phoenix Labs instead chose a more relaxing and winding experience. Aiming for “cozy,” the mark has been hit fairly well, as upon joining the event I saw the players simply wandering their farm and watching butterflies meander along the fields.
