The DS and Wii era marked Nintendo’s first foray into online gaming. For both of these systems, the company introduced a feature known as Friend Codes. This was a bit controversial as some felt that screen names would have been much more convenient and easier to use.

Dragalia Lost’s cross-over event Fire Emblem: Kindred Ties has gone live as of May 3, 11pm PT, and with it comes the ability to summon the divine dragon Tiki. Appearance rates for Tiki are boosted for the duration of the event.
In addition to Tiki, there are new coliseum quests to enjoy as well as a Lunatic difficulty that has been added to Thorr’s Descent. The news of this update comes with a gameplay video of Tiki in action, which is available to view below.
