New Fire Emblem Warriors information to be revealed during Famitsu livestream later this week
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Switch | 3 Comments
Legendary Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu is holding a 24-hour livestream on Niconico starting this Thursday, August 31st, at 7 PM JST to celebrate its 1,500th issue going on sale. Journalists, developers and voice actors will be present to talk about the magazine’s history, play games and more. The livestream will also feature upcoming games – and among those is Fire Emblem Warriors. The game’s official Twitter account has revealed that during the stream’s opening segment, new information about Fire Emblem Warriors will be revealed.
Despite the game’s Japanese release date being only one month away, there’s still quite a lot we don’t know about it. We still haven’t met any of the game’s Shadow Dragon characters other than Marth, the amiibo functionality is still unknown and the game’s Coliseum mode also hasn’t been talked about a whole lot. Either way, there’s plenty that could be revealed during the stream. If you have a Niconico account, you’ll be able to watch it live here.

[Review] Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Posted on 7 years ago by Philip(@P_Trah) in Reviews, Switch | 24 Comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 29, 2017
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger turnabout regarding the reception of a game than I have with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. When the first major leak regarding Ubisoft’s newest Nintendo crossover game happened, the general reaction was one of confusion and general displeasure. That was the case up until Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference in June, where Mario + Rabbids was finally unveiled in full with the help of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto himself. That, compounded with a truly heartwarming moment from the game’s creative director Davide Soliani and the overall presentation of the game, quickly garnered new feelings of excitement and hope that Mario + Rabbids was something to look forward to. So, after months of anticipation, is Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle able to keep that feeling of hope and excitement alive, or does it leave us wishing the Rabbids would have just stayed home?
Nintendo reveals ARMS fighters with highest win rates from top 3% of super skilled players
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 1 Comment
Nintendo has been on a roll with ARMS rankings as of late. Within the past week, we’ve heard about fighters who have been used the most and characters who have the highest win rates.
Nintendo’s latest rankings are based on the top 3 percent of super skilled players. Determined by win rate, first place is awarded to Max Brass, the (current) newest character on the ARMS roster. Helix is second, and Byte & Barq followed in third place.
It’s interesting to see the fighters advanced players use. It sounds like if you want to be at the top, Max Brass might be your best bet.
続いて、上位３％の超上級者のみで集計した…『天界の勝率１位』を発表します！
第１位は…マックスブラス！やりました、全体ではビ(自粛)だった会長、天界では僅差の１位！次いで２位にDNAマン、３位にバイト＆バーク！
全体ランキングとの画面の差…！目がぁ…！ pic.twitter.com/mylAqfvDg1— ARMS（アームズ） (@ARMS_Cobutter) August 29, 2017

First, Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase is listed for September 20 on the eShop. Other retailers like Best Buy and GameStop list it for September 26. The same goes for GameFly, which is often spot on with its listings.
