The Winter Tour has arrived, and with it new challenges and characters. Players will be able to use the new Drift button in game to race their way to victory to collect as many Grand Stars as possible, and Gold Pass subscribers also have the chance to get the Radish Rider kart, among other gifts. You can take a look at the promotional image here to see what is available:

And here’s a trailer:

Heroes with the Distant Counter skill are the next 5★ summoning focus. Players will be able to acquire units like Nagi, Byleth: Tested Professor and Nailah. Those who are lucky enough to snag one will be able to utilize their ability to counterattack regardless of their foe’s range. As per usual, the first summon in this event won’t cost any Orbs.

 

A few days ago, Nintendo announced that it would be introducing a new membership service for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Actual details have now been shared for the Pocket Camp Club. Two different programs are planned: the Happy Helper Plan and Cookie & Depot Plan.

With the Happy Helper Plan, players can designate a character to be a caretaker. They’ll fulfill animal requests and help with events. Pricing is set at $2.99.

Pokemon TCG Card Dex has gotten an update to Version 1.6.18770.  The update should be available for all devices. Check out the patch notes for this update here:

– Addressed app not loading on iOS 13 in some territories
– Updated Privacy Notice

Another fresh batch of events are coming to Fire Emblem Heroes.

Summoning Focus: Tempest Trials+ has arrived, bringing Chad: Lycian Wildcat, Lugh: Anima Child, and Raigh: Dark Child as part of a 5★ summoning focus. As always, the first summon for an event banner won’t cost any orbs.

Four Heroes from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade have appeared as part of the New Heroes: Guardians of Peace summoning event. Thórr makes an appearance in Xenologue 5: Heavenly Witness, and there’s a login bonus tie-in that can award players with up to 13 orbs.
 
A new Tempest Trials+ event, Sands of Time, will begin on 11/21 at 11 PM PT. Players can clear event maps to earn rewards like 5★ New Hero Brunnya: Devoted General and two Sacred Seals: Flier Guidance 1 and Spur Atk/Res 1.

Mario Kart Tour

Update: Version 1.2.1 has now been issued to fix problems with the previous update.


Original: After hitting Google Play a couple of hours ago, it is reported that Android users are experiencing issues with Mario Kart Tour. Players are advised to not update the app at this time, and some players may not be able to launch it. You can see the original Tweet below.

Mario Kart Tour

Today, Nintendo issued the latest update for Mario Kart Tour. Version 1.2.0 is out now for both iOS and Android users.

Below are the full patch notes:

Fire Emblem Heroes is again hosting Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 4. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II appear as focus Heroes, and the focus lineup changes each week. Note that 5-star focus Heroes have an initial appearance rate of four percent.

Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 4 will be live until November 24.

Much like Mario Kart Tour, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is getting a paid membership service.

Nintendo says that one plan will let you “appoint one lucky animal as your camp caretaker and get some extra help around the campsite.” As for the other plan, you can “receive fortune cookies and store your furniture and clothing items in warehouses.”

Further information has yet to be announced. Additional details will follow on November 20, with the service launching on November 21.
