Switch

Nintendo has continued its character introductions for Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Today’s update is for Rea, who is voiced by Kikuko Inoue. Her English name has not yet been officially confirmed.

Rea is the leader of the Holy Church of Seiros. She’s held that position since Jeralt was a part of the Knights of Seiro.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule again, but thus far, things are looking pretty light. Only one session is planned to impact Switch in a few days.

The current schedule is as follows:

Team Sonic Racing

SEGA hosted a lengthy live stream for Team Sonic Racing at the end of this week, showing off a bunch of gameplay from the final product. We get a look at races, customization, and even a bit of the story mode – known as Team Adventure. Watch the full recording below.

Over on Amazon UK, the boxart for Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry has been posted. You can see what the packaging image looks like above.

Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry can be pre-ordered on Amazon UK here.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

Nintendo has opened the North American teaser site for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. You can access it here.

The site currently has information about the game, videos to watch, and screenshots to view. More content should be added within the next couple of months.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order launches exclusively for Switch on July 19.

The wait for the latest Shovel Knight content continues, as developer Yacht Club Games recently delayed everything that previously had a release date. King of Cards, Showdown, the new amiibo, and physical version for Switch were all pushed back from their April 9 launch. It doesn’t sound like there will be a massive delay here, but it’s a delay nonetheless.

As part of a lengthy interview with USgamer, Shovel Knight designer Sean Velasco explained the delay in greater detail. He also stated that everything should be ready “real soon,” so fans may not have to wait much longer.

Play-Asia has opened pre-orders for the Rune Factory 4 Special Memorial Box. If you’d like to reserve a copy, you can do so here.

The Rune Factory 4 Special Memorial Box comes with a few goodies. Aside from the game, you’ll receive a Special Box illustration by Minako Iwasaki, Rune Factory Memorial Book, Kyun Secret Private CD set, and “Everyone in Swimsuits” additional event DLC.

Keep in mind that English support has not yet been confirmed. That being said, this has been a popular item that has sold out at other Japanese retailers, so you may want to get an order in to be on the safe side.

Amazon UK has opened pre-orders for the Fire Emblem: Three Houses Limited Edition. If interested, you can reserve it here.

The Fire Emblem: Three Houses Limited Edition includes the game, an artbook, SteelBook, sound selection USB stick, and pin badge set.

Now that Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age has arrived on new platforms, Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the RPG from a technical perspective. We’re able to see how the Switch version holds up against the Xbox One release.

First up, Final Fantasy XII is just 12GB on Switch. That’s in comparison to the file size of 26GB for the Xbox One version. The two versions are very similar, and the only notable different on Switch is that there are some lower resolution textures.

Nintendo Switch Online

Each month, Nintendo adds a new wave of NES games to the Nintendo Switch Online service for subscribers. That will continue once again in May, and we should be finding out about the latest round of titles soon. However, Nintendo’s very own website appears to have outed the lineup early.

The site lists the following as upcoming titles:
