Rumor: Amazon Spain lists, then removes Fire Emblem Fates Complete Edition for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 54 Comments
Update: The “listing” itself isn’t officially ruled out as fake, but the boxart is using fan art. That does hurt the chances of this being real regardless of whether or not Fire Emblem Fates Complete Edition appeared on Amazon Spain in the first place.
Original: Amazon Spain is rumored to have listed Fire Emblem Fates Complete Edition for Switch. It allegedly appeared on the retailer’s website for a brief while, only to be pulled shortly after. The listing had a release date of November 17.
There are a few things to consider here. First, in this day and age, almost anything can be created and passed off as something looking authentic. Second, assuming the listing is real, it could have been an accidental listing on Amazon’s part. If we somehow manage to get past those two obstacles, only then would Fire Emblem Fates Complete Edition have a chance of being real.
Cave Story+ listed for release next week on the European Switch eShop
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 1 Comment
Nintendo has reason to believe that Cave Story+ will be available in Europe next week. The eShop is currently listing the game for a July 20 release.
It goes without saying, but this news should be taken with a grain of salt. eShop listings haven’t always been correct, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the European date for Cave Story+ ends up being inaccurate. Either that, or the digital version of Cave Story+ will be heading to Europe well before the physical release.

Fire Emblem Warriors: official Japanese website updated with new character bios and voice samples

The official Japanese Fire Emblem Warriors website has been updated to include character biographies and voice samples for the recently revealed Robin, Frederick, Lissa and Lucina. Sadly, that’s pretty much all there is to it as the website doesn’t provide any additional info on how the characters play and the bios are rather short and basic.

Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere update out now (version 1.0.1)
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Despite being a demo, the Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere has received an update. If you downloaded it previously, version 1.0.1 is now available.
Nintendo hasn’t made any sort of patch notes available, so we’re only left to guess what’s new. Given the small increase in version numbers, it’s likely nothing too big. That being said, it does seem like the construction we mentioned for the Japanese demo is here now in the English version…
