SEGA has prepared a new Switch-specific trailer for Valkyria Chronicles 4. We’ve gone ahead and attached it below.

Animal Crossing

At every E3 – or any major Nintendo event for that matter – many fans hope to see the announcement of games like Animal Crossing for Switch or the western release of Mother 3. There still wasn’t news on either of these last week, but Nintendo is definitely aware of the interest.

IGN spoke with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime at E3. As a blanket statement regarding announcements for the company’s franchises, Reggie reiterated that information will be shared “close to its launch date versus teasing people for years on end.”

Nintendo has provided another new Hint Art for Super Mario Odyssey. We have the tenth image above, which was just released on the official Japanese Twitter account above.

Note that solving the Hint Art only gives a small reward. There aren’t any Power Moons to acquire, so it’s just a fun little side activity for players to take on.

GameSpot posted a new BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, which we have below, showing off new DLC for the fighter. Take a closer look at Character Pack #2, #3, and Yang.

Nintendo’s longstanding battle with piracy has been well documented. Piracy was a huge issue in particular on DS, but also continued with its subsequent systems.

With Switch, Nintendo is taking serious anti-piracy measures. Reports in the modding and hacking scene indicate that the company has started banning particular gamecart certificates. In other words, Nintendo can go after games that have been illegally obtained by conducting a check between certificates and game cards.

Some folks are naturally wondering what may happen with the pre-owned market and pre-owned games. Since we only have early information and the situation is developing, not everything is clear at the moment.
