Fire Emblem Warriors: Limited Edition revealed
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
Nintendo has revealed that Fire Emblem Warriors is getting a Limited Edition in Europe. It contains the game itself, a three-disc soundtrack and character art cards. Only the Switch version is getting this edition – no such luck for the New Nintendo 3DS version. No word yet on the pricing, though it’ll likely be a bit cheaper compared to the Premium Box and Treasure Box editions Japan is getting, since those also contain an art book and a Dragonstone crystal.
The Limited Edition will be released on October 20th, alongside the regular edition.

Unless they’ll be revealed later, it seems like only Elisa and Sakura are the only royal siblings who won’t be playable.
Nintendo of Europe also revealed the game’s release date – the game will launch on October 20th. We don’t know the game’s North American release date yet, though it’ll likely be on that same day.

3DS won’t be the only platform where Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be offered. In a Kickstarter post today, the team confirmed that new platforms are in the mix, including Switch. JoshProd is on board as a new partner, and it sounds like the company will be publishing the game at retail.
3DS is indeed still a part of the plan. However, on that platform, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be digital only.
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be appearing at Gamescom 2017 this week, so we may be seeing more of the game in just a few days.

The Zoink-developed Fe is on the way to Switch, EA just announced at its Gamescom 2017 media briefing.

Fe is a new type of wordless platformer full of sounds.

Fe isn’t the only new Switch game from Zoink. The studio is also working on Flipping Death for Nintendo’s console.
Fe will be available on Switch in early 2018. View a trailer for the game below, along with today’s full announcement.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 on Switch will be the same as other versions, supports split Joy-Con
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Switch owners won’t have to worry about LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 being gimped in any way. TT Games has said that the Switch release will be “feature for feature” the same as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions.
The developers are also implementing the split Joy-Con setup on Switch. That means two players will be able to play LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 with just one Joy-Con controller each. This is in contrast to LEGO City: Undercover, which required a separate Pro Controller or additional pair of Joy-Con.
