Screenshots are in for the trading card game Hototogisu Tairan 1553: Ryuuko Aiutsu, which was just announced for Switch via this week’s issue of Famitsu. View them below.
We also have a few more tidbits:
– Collect cards drawn by various popular illustrators, assemble a deck, and use that deck to battle
– Two phases
– Tactical Phase: use any card from your hand, such as a strategy or promotion card, and manifest its effect onto the field
– Battle Phase: the units deployed onto the field will move and attack
– The order of movement is based on how high a unit’s stats are for both enemies and allies
– Players can enjoy strategies such as making the first move with fast units, or surrounding the enemy for a formation effect

Breath of the Wild now the second highest-selling Zelda game
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 14 Comments
Nintendo confirmed earlier today that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has shipped 6.7 million copies on Switch worldwide. Adding in sales of the Wii U version of about 1.08 million, the overall total should be roughly 7.78 million units worldwide.
The big takeaway from that number is Breath of the Wild is now the second highest-selling Zelda game. Only Twilight Princess has it beat globally with 8.85 million copies sold. Breath of the Wild could very well overtake it in time.
Ys VIII for Switch will have fixed localization on the cartridge
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 80 Comments
Thanks to some assistance from Nippon Ichi, Ys VIII is coming to Switch. It should be out sometime this summer.
When Ys VIII originally launched in the west, it unfortunately had some localization issues. NIS America has since redone practically the entire game, including the script, item names, terminology, monster names, and graphical text. The game also received a full re-recording of voiced dialogue.
The good news is that the Switch version of Ys VIII shouldn’t be plagued by any problems. NIS America has said that the patch distributed on other platforms this week will be built into the cartridge. You won’t have to download anything extra for the game’s localization.

Pokken Tournament DX: Aegislash trailer
Posted on 7 years ago by Joshua in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
A few hours ago, we posted some gameplay footage of Aegislash. Now, the Japanese Pokemon channel has shadow sneaked in a trailer, as well. From first impressions, this guy seems like a sacred sword with an iron defense.
A noble Pokemon, Aegislash is said to recognize trainers who have the innate qualities of royalty. I wonder if you can make its stance change?
