Pokemon GO

Tiawanese magazine Business Weekly published a new interview with Niantic CEO John Hanke. During the discussion, Hanke spoke about plans for the future.

On the topic of what Pokemon GO’s next “ace in the hole” will be, Hanke teased:

The support system, a staple of the Fire Emblem series, was recently added to Fire Emblem Heroes. Given the game’s nature, there are no actual support conversations between the characters; instead, the system’s purpose is to increase the stats of the characters. Today, the official Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account revealed the 20 most popular support pairings that players were using as of September 29th.

Given the nature of the system, most of the characters on the list are those that are currently dominating the game’s meta and those that synergize well. However, some players clearly opted for more “canonical” support pairings such as Ephraim & Eirika, Ike & Soren and the #1 most popular pairing, Alphonse & Sharena.

Along with a new summoning focus, Fire Emblem Heroes received a Bound Hero Battle involving Minerva and Maria. We have some footage of the event below.

A new summoning focus and Bound Hero Battle are now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. The summoning focus is called “Minerva and Maria’s Battle” and it features 5 star versions of Palla, Minerva, and Maria.

The new Bound Hero Battle event is tied in with this new summoning focus and you will be battling against Minerva and Maria in 3 difficulty levels (Hard, Lunatic, Infernal). Clearing each map can score you some orbs to collect.

This summoning focus & Bound Hero Battle will only be available until October 18th.

Last week, Nintendo started a retweet event for Super Mario Run. The global promotion was for North America, Europe, and Japan.

Depending on the amount of retweets, different Daisy Statues would be made available in the game. For 5,000 retweets, a standard statue would be provided to players. 10,000 retweets meant Nintendo would hand out a gold version.

Both goals were reached, meaning Gold Daisy Statue is the top prize. Players should find it waiting for them right now.
