Here’s an overview of the game with more details:

Fire Emblem Engage amiibo

Some have wondered whether or not Fire Emblem Engage will support amiibo. In the game’s latest Japanese trailer as well as an official tweet (get a quick look here), that news was confirmed.

The more notable feature is that by scanning a Fire Emblem figure, you’ll receive a costume based on that character plus a music track from the game they appear in. Other amiibo are compatible as well, and while it’s less exciting, you’ll at least receive items that can help you during your adventure.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris has received a new update, bringing the game to version 3.12. This update is relatively minor, addressing a few bug fixes and adding some new options to the Incarnation Shard Exchange.
