Pokemon GO Fest

Pokemon GO Fest did not go well for Niantic last year. Due to technical issues, many of the events that had been planned couldn’t take place or were severely impacted. Many players who stopped by couldn’t even log in due to an abundance of traffic and other problems.

Despite Pokemon GO Fest not going over well in 2017, Niantic is trying things again this year. The company announced earlier today that the big event is returning to Chicago in July. Following the news, IGN caught up with Niantic CEO John Hanke, who reflected on all of the problems that occurred last year and how the company has learned from its mistakes.

Pokemon GO Fest 2018 Safari Zone

Ninatic is bringing back two of its summer events for Pokemon GO as part of the Pokemon GO Summer Tour 2018. Along with Pokemon GO Fest for North America, Safari Zone events will be running in Europe.

After a disastrous inaugural event in 2017, Pokemon GO Fest will be giving things another go. This year’s event will again be held in Chicago between July 14 and July 15. Niantic promises that A Walk in the Park ” will offer a unique, immersive play experience unseen anywhere else that will create a daylong adventure for Trainers.” Exclusive activities are planned.

As for the Safari Zone event, it’ll be held in Dortmund, Germany between June 30 and July 1. According to Niantic, “Activities will expand to Dortmund’s entire city district, inviting players from all over Europe to explore the city’s cultural history”.

In the last couple of days, the official (Japanese) Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account ran a quiz campaign. They posed questions about the game and people could use Twitter’s poll feature to answer them. There were a total of 20 questions and all of them have been answered correctly. As a reward, ten orbs and 5,000 hero feathers will be sent out to all players on May 10th.

The newest garden event is now live in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. You can complete Katie’s quests and receive presents from her. You’ll be collecting apple butterflies to help her out. You can purchase the Fruit Party Pack to help you on your quest, which is 70 leaf tickets and 50 flower food. The second part of the event starts May 9th, and the entire event closes the 14th.

Fire Emblem Heroes recently kicked off a Kana: Dragon Spawn Grand Hero Battle as well as a new Grand Conquest event this week. Get a look at some footage of both below.

The Grand Hero Battle featuring Kana: Dragon Spawn is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. As usual, you can obtain a 3 star version, a 4 star version and a 4 star version with Hero Feather of Arvis if you can beat the map on Hard, Lunatic, or Infernal difficulty.

The Grand Hero Battle featuring Kana: Dragon Spawn will be available until May 11th.

Nintendo x DeNA

Nintendo only released one new mobile game during the last fiscal year. But during the company’s latest financial results briefing, president Tatsumi Kimishima said that the original plan has not changed.

According to Kimishima, Nintendo is still targeting 2-3 mobile games per year. “What we want is to release applications for smart devices that can be played for a long time, and if we can increase those kinds of titles, then we will build a lineup of titles that consumers will truly enjoy,” Kimishima said.

Kimishima also said that there aren’t any plans for Nintendo, Cygames, and DeNA to all directly collaborate on new mobile titles. However, there is sort of a three-company collaboration based on Cygames and DeNA’s different roles.
