Animal Crossing: New Leaf introduced a building called Dream Suite. It allows players to visit dream versions of other players’ towns (both friends and random), or share theirs online with others without any real repercussions. The feature is a little different from visiting a town regularly since limitations are in place – you can’t visit shops or cause any havoc for example.
Despite those limitations, Dream Suite is an interesting little feature. It’s something that Nintendo hasn’t brought into the series’ latest entry, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, there’s a chance that it could return in the future.
Lakitu originally appeared in Dr. Mario World. Now, however, Nintendo has confirmed that the character will be a proper doctor as well.
Dr. Goomba was also recently announced as a new character for Dr. Mario World. That one is an entirely new addition.
Dr. Lakitu and Dr. Goomba both go live in Dr. Mario World on April 26 at 11 PM PT / April 27 at 2 AM ET.
Xenoblade is in a much different place now than it was a decade ago. For quite some time, we weren’t even sure if the original game would be released in the states. Whereas Japan originally received the Wii title in June 2010, it didn’t come out in English until the European launch in August 2011. Xenoblade’s North American debut finally took place several months later in April 2012.
It was then in 2015 that Xenoblade Chronicles X launched on Wii U. The RPG was quite a bit different from its predecessor, emphasizing its open world and mechs known as Skells. Hiroyuki Sawano was also brought in to helm the soundtrack. Fans still enjoyed what Monolith Soft had created, and some hope they’ll be able to revisit the world of Mira one day.
Update (4/25): The tweet has since been deleted. It’s possible that the information was shared before it was supposed to, or was inaccurate. We’ll keep an eye on this moving forward.
Original (4/24): A tweet from Nintendo Australia/New Zealand has confirmed that Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition will allow players to swap between the original Wii game’s soundtrack and the brand new ‘remastered’ version.
This feature had not previously been announced, the tweet confirming it can be seen below.
Many years after it debuted on GameCube, the 3D platformer Ty the Tasmanian Tiger recently returned on Switch with a fresh coat of paint and in HD. But as fans know, the series has a few other games as well. Could we see more of those entries on Switch? The possibility is definitely there.
Speaking with Nintendo Everything, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger creator Steve Stamatiadis said that Krome Studios would “love” to bring Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 and 3 to Switch. The company has its hands full porting the first title over to other systems currently, but noted that the second and third titles “are ready to go, from an art perspective.”
Stamatiadis stated:
Thanatos has shown up as the latest boss in Dragalia Lost’s Astral Raids. The battle is available in Beginner, Standard, Expert, and Master difficulties. Players can obtain astral shards and trade them for various rewards. Note that astral pieces are needed to challenge Astral Raids quests.
The Astral Raids with Valfarre will be live until April 27.
Resplendent Hero Eliwood: Knight of Lycia is now available in Fire Emblem Heroes to Feh Pass subscribers. Also, the Feh Pass Quests have been updated and can be accessed until May 10. Hector: General of Ostia, will be added as the next Resplendent Hero on that day.
Three Heroes quests have been added to Fire Emblem Heroes. Clear them to add 3-star Chrom: Exalted Prince, Lissa: Sprightly Cleric, and Frederick: Polite Knight to your army.
We’ll also mention that Lost Lore: Spoils is starting on April 27 at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET. Players can fill the Order of Heroes’ waning coffers by seeking out local lore to trade for treasure such as Orbs, Dragonflowers, and Hero Feathers.
