Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp to end services in Belgium on August 27 due to gambling laws
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
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.
E-mails going out to people accepted into the Mario Kart Tour beta test in Japan

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.
