Hero is the next DLC character joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Aside from a vague summer release window, Nintendo hasn’t said when he’ll be joining the game. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill, which has ranged from a reveal early next week, to the end of Evo 2019, to possibly the start of August. At this point, no one really knows.
One interesting development is that a series of new Dragon Quest spirits have now been spotted on Nintendo’s servers. When Hero is added, he’ll be joined by these new spirits.
Here’s a look at what’s been found as of now:

After many complaints of drifting Joy-Con, Nintendo of America started changing its approach to repairs. Rather than charging for fixes after expired warranty, going forward, all repairs of the controllers will be free. This mainly applied to North America based on what we had initially seen, but it looks like other regions are starting to get involved.
The latest update concerns Latin America. Free Joy-Con repair is now being offered in the region, according to an authorized Nintendo repair shop in Costa Rica. We’ll keep you informed about any other updates to the situation.

Fire Emblem Heroes replaces Byleth’s male voice actor following admissions of abuse
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Fire Emblem Heroes has replaced the male voice actor of Byleth, and the same could end up happening with Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This all came about after Christopher Niosi, who played the character’s role, admitted to abuse in a lengthy Tumblr post. That can be found in full here.
Niosi was originally featured in a recent trailer for Fire Emblem Heroes. However, the credit disappeared from the character page, and a new trailer has since been uploaded with re-recorded lines and a credit given to Zach Aguilar.
As things stand, Niosi is still featured in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While some fans think Nintendo may end up replacing him in the Switch game, we’ll have to wait and see if that actually happens.

After a lengthy absence, the Rune Factory series is returning in a big way. Rune Factory 4 Special gets things started this year, followed by the series’ next official entry – Rune Factory 5 – in 2020.
According to Marvelous, there was interest in making a fifth entry. However, without knowing which hardware they’d make it for, they couldn’t really proceed with the game. After Switch was selling really well, that’s when they started talking about Rune Factory 5 again.
