French outlet Melty recently had the chance to interview Yoshiaki Koizumi and Shinya Takahashi, who provided them with quite a few new details on the Switch.

According to a Nintendo Ambassador at the Nintendo New York store, your best chance to get a Switch on launch day may be in the Big Apple. It seems that the store will have a healthy number of units for sale to walk-in customers who didn’t pre-order the console.

The Ambassador noted that this is a common scenario for the store, as they had NES Classic Editions for several days after the products launch. You can read the original post here.

Nintendo Hong Kong has confirmed plans to localize Fire Emblem Echoes and Fire Emblem Warriors into Chinese. It’s a notable milestone for the series, as this is the first time that Fire Emblem games are receiving official Chinese translations.
