Zmart, a retailer in Chile, posted a few interesting Splatoon 2 images on Twitter. The first thing we’re able to see is the cartridge. The retailer also shows images of a reversible cover. It’s unclear if the cover is just being offered by Zmart, though we’re hoping it’s something that will be extended in all major territories.

This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream contains a lengthy interview with a couple of developers working on Fire Emblem Warriors. The Japanese magazine spoke with producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Hiroya Usuda. The interview covers some old topics, but also expands on previous interviews and throws new discussions into the mix as well.

Hayashi and Usuda first elaborated on Fire Emblem Warriors origins. The interview later talks about how the represented characters and games were chosen, including heated conversations between the developers, going with Shadow Dragon over the original game, choosing female Corrin over her male counterpart, and more. There’s also talk about the original characters and how their designs were updated after seeing the new characters in Fire Emblem Heroes – and plenty of other topics.
