We have a few more screenshots from Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition ahead of its release later this month. Get a look at the full set below.
Nintendo will be bringing Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition to Switch on May 29.
Nintendo revealed some massive sales figures for Animal Crossing: New Horizons this week. Through March 31, the game sold 11.77 million copies. It’s also sold a total of 13.41 million units over six weeks.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold even better than Nintendo expected. During the Q&A portion of the company’s financial results call this week, president Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned the following (translated by our own Oni Dino):
My Nintendo has updated with a couple of new rewards. A pair of printable items are available, both of which are based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons rewards. You can pick up some Mother’s Day Coupons as well as gift tags.
Both of these rewards are located on My Nintendo here. They cost 50 Platinum Points each.
We wanted to give a quick heads up about a new giveaway we’re running on Twitter. The kind folks at 11 bit studios were kind enough to supply us with 30 codes for Children of Morta. This week, the game received a big “Setting Sun Inn” update, which you can read about here.
Entering our giveaway is simple. Just add Children of Morta to your wish list on the Switch eShop and send us a screenshot/photo on our post here. Then on May 16, we’ll pick our 30 winners.
Be sure to follow us on Twitter here. We host giveaways on there from time to time, and it’s a great way to keep up with all of the news and updates we add to the site. You can also keep track of us on Facebook here.
Good luck!
Update: All services have been restored. Downtime was at least three hours.
Original: All of Nintendo’s platforms are currently experiencing online issues. The company has confirmed that Switch, 3DS, and Wii U network services are down.
If you’re having trouble connecting with friends in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, now you know why. This also extends to the eShops and other services.
Here’s the current status update:
System: Switch
Release date: April 24, 2020
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix
What started off as a spin-off titled Final Fantasy Adventure in 1991 would spawn a beloved yet niche series in Square Enix’s catalogue known as Mana. Nearly thirty years later, Trials of Mana gets the remake treatment, bringing its 1995 origins to the modern day with a stunning makeover and creative outlook that doesn’t just aim to recreate, but freshen and polish the game with a new outlook more suited for the JRPGs of today. The game certainly has elements of “a time that once was” with a sort of clichéd story and standard fantasy flare that doesn’t really bring anything new to the table, but that Mana charm still exudes through its gameplay.
We first found out that Bethesda would be bringing The Elder Scrolls: Blades at last year’s E3. But back in November, it was announced a delay that pushed the game to early 2020. We’re almost midway through the year without any sort of update, but Blades may finally be releasing on Switch next week.
The primary piece of information concerns what was included in this week’s Nintendo Download report. It seems to have gone under the radar, but The Elder Scrolls: Blades was actually listed for launch on May 12. We can also confirm that it was briefly listed for that same day on the official Nintendo UK page.
Nintendo has posted a new “Play Together” commercial to promote Switch and its games. Take a look at the advert below.
After first appearing on Wii U, PlatinumGames’ action title is returning on Switch as The Wonderful 101: Remastered. View a video below from GameXplain comparing the two versions.
The Wonderful 101: Remastered officially launches via the eShop on May 19. Fans can pick up a physical copy starting June 30 in North America and July 3 in Europe.
Ashnard: Mad King is waiting in Special Maps as a new Grand Hero in Fire Emblem Heroes. By defeating him, he’ll become an ally.
Grand Hero Battle – Ashnard: Mad King will be live until May 16.
