Nintendo and Koei Tecmo prepared a new Fire Emblem Warriors trailer for Japan Expo earlier in the week. At the actual event in France, a fresh build of the game is on display with the latest characters included.

As far as the story goes, the twins live peacefully in their kingdom until a dragon attacks. When that happens, the two are forced to leave. They’ll need to ask help from heroes of other worlds in order to reclaim their kingdom.

Male Robin, Lissa, and Lucina (plus Female Corrin who we’ve already seen) are playable at Japan Expo. New details are in for each.

Here’s the rundown on Robin as relayed by FuranSuwa:

Splatoon 2’s launch is less than two weeks away. In Japan, Nintendo is gearing up for the big day with new ads that are appearing in various places.

Splatoon managed to do extremely well in Japan even though Wii U wasn’t the hottest console around at the time. With Splatoon 2, its release is definitely going to be massive. The only unfortunate part of it all is that Nintendo won’t have nearly enough Switch supply to cover the demand.

Coming out of E3, Paste published an interview with Doug Bowser, head of marketing at Nintendo of America. Much of the discussion focused on the handheld market.

During the talk, Bowser was asked about the future of handhelds, whether 3DS game development is continuing, and more. He also took on questions about the durability of Switch’s screen and whether there will be a crossover between 3DS and Switch features.

For a roundup of notable excerpts, continue on below. Paste’s full interview with Bowser is located here.

Nintendo has unveiled a new aspect of ARMS’ major update. With version 2.0, Nintendo will be adding in records.

Players will be able to access all sorts of information with records. You’ll be able to see the frequency of ARMS used, hit rate, the winning percentage of the last 100 matches, and more.

Here’s a quick look:

Yesterday, the Japanese ARMS Twitter account posted a mysterious GIF of what looks to be a new item in ARMS. The tweet itself doesn’t give much information, but the clip does show a Helix clone punching it a few times before it opens and shows a Hedlok mask.

So what could this be about? Perhaps the item is tied into a new kind of mode? We did hear producer Yosuke Kabuke say that a new mode is coming to ARMS, though Nintendo hasn’t elaborated on it.

Despite what we heard last year, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night may not opt for a staggered content model. If this is something the team decides to pursue, some features and content may come after the game’s launch.

That seemed like the plan back in 2016. However, creator Koji Igarashi has now said that a definitive decision has not been made. It’s something that’s being considered, and though the approach has certain benefits, “it’s something we’ll have to discuss later.”

Igarashi told Apptrigger:

Amazon UK posted the boxart for Monopoly on Switch… though it has now been removed upon checking on the listing for a second time. In any case, we’ve attached the packaging image above.

Ubisoft’s boxarts tend to be uniform across regions. The image should be the same in North America (just with an ESRB logo), but we’ll let you know if anything changes.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
