This week’s issue of Famitsu unfortunately made a critical error regarding the Fire Emblem Awakening DLC for Fire Emblem Warriors. The magazine said that the DLC would be out on March 22, but that’s not actually the case.

With the official Japanese website updating today, the final release date for the Awakening DLC is March 29. That’s likely to be during the evening of March 28 in North America.

We also have another important note about the new update due out alongside the DLC. With version 1.5.0, support for video capture will be added in.

A common criticism fans have with the left Joy-Con is that it doesn’t feature a “proper” D-Pad, only four disconnected buttons since it also has to serve as its own full controller if used separately. Accessory manufacturer HORI is now attempting to fix that problem by releasing a left Joy-Con with an actual D-Pad.

However, there are some major caveats. Like the Pro Controller alternative that HORI released previously, this Joy-Con lacks most of the tech of the first-party Joy-Con, such as HD rumble, gyro sensors and an accelerometer. What will likely be a dealbreaker for many though is that it has no bluetooth functionality. This means that it can only be used when connected to the Switch in handheld mode, but not when used separately or in the Joy-Con Grip.

This special left Joy-Con will be released in Japan in July. It’ll cost 2,480 Yen.
