Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse physical

Original (11/5): Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will have a physical release on Switch in Asia that supports English, it’s been revealed.

In North America and Europe, the situation is different. The new Switch version of Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will only be sold digitally in the west. That means if you’re interested in adding a physical copy to your collection, you’ll need to do so by importing the title from Asia. However, that shouldn’t be an issue for most fans since Switch is a region-free console.

Fire Emblem Engage Ike

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are kicking off the week with a Fire Emblem Engage character introduction for Ike, yet another classic hero for the game. The latest update again comes from the official Japanese Twitter account with SatsumaFS sharing translations.

Ike, who is the Emblem of Radiance, is a famous leader of a mercenary band. He also has unrivaled combat prowess. Ike is strong in offensive power and durability, and gets more powerful as he loses more health. It’s noted that he’s a good Emblem for taking the heat from enemies with his defenses and power ups at low HP.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and Rune Factory 3 Special appear for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 8 and December 14.

Below are the latest Nintendo products that can be currently pre-ordered at retailers:

ENLBufferPwn exploit Switch 3DS Wii U games

A severe vulnerability known as ENLBufferPwn has been found in various Switch, 3DS, and Wii U games. PabloMK7, Rambo6Glaz, Fishguy6564 were credited for the discovery. The vulnerability, first uncovered in 2021, was already reported to Nintendo.

The exploit is especially significant since a victim’s device can be easily taken over. This can be done merely by having an online game session with an attacker. Given the 9.8/10 (Critical) score it received in the CVSS 3.1 calculator, that goes to show how serious it is.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion review

System: Switch
Release Date: December 13, 2022
Developer: Square Enix / Tose
Publisher: Square Enix


In the 25 years since Final Fantasy VII originally graced PlayStations around the world, this monumental RPG has amassed a legacy that few other games have, and has fittingly been rereleased on a wide range of platforms; it is still, even today, the best-selling entry in the Final Fantasy series of all time. The same can’t quite be said for its many spin-offs, which have typically been trapped on their original systems, but that changes with the launch of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. Once a PSP-exclusive, this action-combat title serves as a comprehensive prequel to the events of the original game, and its remastered version attempts to bring the visuals closer to the style of the recent Final Fantasy VII Remake. But how does this enhanced version of a 15-year-old game hold up on Switch?
