Despite Nintendo not sharing anything about Mario Kart Tour, a closed beta test for the mobile game has officially begun. Those with access have started to share first details and screenshots from the game. We’ve rounded up what’s surfaced thus far below.

Pokemon Rumble Rush

Last week, Pokemon Rumble Rush saw an initial launch in Australia. The game is now live in many more regions across the globe, so users in North America and Europe should now be able play more easily. Just like last week, it’s only up on Android at present.

Version 1.0.3 has also rolled out which includes bug fixes to prevent crashes, a fix to a glitch where the Pokedex showed Pokemon as not caught despite being caught, and updated Terms of Service. Unfortunately, we’re hearing that there’s a game breaking bug where players are unable to tap any ore in the Refinery screen to remove it or open it. This can currently be addressed by deleting ore in the waiting area.

Fire Emblem Heroes is now hosting Special Heroes Revival: Bridal Blood. Through June 22, Special Heroes dressed in elegant gowns can be found in the mobile game once again. This is a five-star summoning focus for the game.

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have also announced that Tempest Trials+: The Holy Guard is kicking off soon. The five-star Hero Louise: Eternal Devotion and two Sacred Seals, Spd/Res 1 and Brazen Atk Spd1, are the big rewards. Players can look forward to the event beginning on May 25.

The previously announced Bridal Belonging Summoning Focus is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. For one month, you have the chance to obtain special versions of Fjorm, Tanith, Sigrun and Pent. As always, a set of new Paralogue chapters featuring these Heroes is also available, as well as some time-limited quests to earn some more orbs.

Nintendo announced today that it will end services for Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp in Belgium on August 27 this year. This is due to a recent change to certain gambling laws in Belgium, making in-game loot boxes that can be purchased with real money illegal. The law is not 100% clear, but it seems like Nintendo decided to err on the side of caution and remove these games entirely from the Belgian market. Until August 27, both Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp can still be played normally and players can still use Orbs and Leaf Tickets, respectively. After August 27, both games can no longer be played or downloaded.

Additionally, future Nintendo games with similar business models won’t be released in Belgium.

Update: Emails are also going out in North America (thanks Adam S and Mark G). See the screenshot below.


Original: Nintendo has barely talked it, so you might not be aware that the closed beta test for Mario Kart Tour starts this Wednesday, May 22. As a reminder, only Android users in Japan and the United States could apply for a spot in the test. It seems like Nintendo has now started sending out e-mails to those who got a spot in the closed beta test, at least in Japan. Twitter user siinarei_rin000 posted a screenshot of an e-mail they received from Nintendo. Nintendo themselves haven’t officially confirmed yet that they have started sending out invites for the beta test, but since the beta starts in two days, it seems reasonable that they’d start doing that now.

The Bound Hero Battle: Corrin & Kana is back for another run in Fire Emblem Heroes. You have until May 27 to clear it on its various difficulty modes (Hard through Infernal). There are also time-limited quests available, requiring you to use Alfonse, Sharena and an all-flying time in order to earn more orbs.
