Publisher Fantastico Studio and developer Katata Games today announced Top Run for Switch. The retro-stylish runner, which has platforming and shooting elements, is due out in early February.
Here’s an overview of Top Run:
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order still has a long while to go before DLC Pack 3 launches. However, on social media, Nintendo has offered up a look at Doctor Doom. We have his character art above.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order – Fantastic Four: Shadow of Doom launches Spring 2020.
A clear sign that a console is truly off the market is when the manufacturer is no longer offering repairs for it. That is what will soon happen to the Wii in Japan. Nintendo announced today that it will stop accepting repair requests for the Wii in Japan after March 31, 2020. The reason given is that the replacement parts are increasingly hard and expensive to come by.
The fifth “Morgana Travel Report” video for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers has been released. It covers the two cities of Kyoto and Osaka as well as the character of Zenkichi Hasegawa. We’ve summarized it below (credit goes to Gematsu for the translation):
Kyoto
The historic city of Kyoto is one of Japan’s major tourism spots. The Phantom Thieves head there after a proposal by public safety police officer Zenkichi Hasegawa, who is travelling with them. Zenkichi is actually from Kyoto, and his daughter Akane still lives there. She’s a big fan of the Phantom Thieves.
Naturally, Kyoto also has a Jail that the Phantom Thieves have to conquer. It takes on the appearance of a huge shrine, with lots of torii gates within that warp you to different locations when you pass through them. Also, it seems like something will happen to Zenkichi in this Jail.
Osaka
Another major tourism spot in western Japan, Osaka is famous for its good food and abundance of cultural activities. Osaka is also the home of the famous IT company Madicce, which somehow seems to be involved with the incidents the Phantom Thieves are investigating. The president of Madicce is Akira Konoe, an ambitious man who has become popular due to his charisma and the innovative services his company provides.
The Osaka Jail takes on the look of a futuristic city, complete with surveillance cameras and security robots. The enemies here are extremely strong, so you will need to be cautious.
Code Name: Wolf
Zenkichi Hasegawa eventually awakens a Persona and fights alongside the Phantom Thieves. He fights using a large sword, with gives him a long reach in melee combat, as well as two pistols. He can steal HP from enemies as well as using a berserk ability to cut down his own HP in exchange for higher attack power.
His Persona is Valjean (modelled after Jean Valjean of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables), who uses Gun and Almighty skills in addition to strengthening his allies.
Here’s the video showcasing Kyoto and Osaka:
Dr. Mario World has introduced a limited rate up event. During this time, doctors are easier to staff. This event runs until until Jan. 29, 9:59 PM PT.
Additionally, Piranha Plant is looking a little sickly. Give it some TLC in game by busting those pesky viruses. The Help Piranha Plant! event lasts till Feb. 2, 9:59 PM PT.
Nintendo has published another character introduction for the Fire Emblem: Three Houses – Cindered Shadows DLC. For today’s update, we have information regarding Balthus, including a video.
A member of the Ashen Wolves, Balthus (voiced by Subaru Kimura), is a rather rowdy and careless fellow from the Alliance who styles himself “Fighting King of Leicester”. He ended up hiding in the Abyss after being chased by evil people. He goes after intruders in order to protect the people who live in the Abyss.
Fire Emblem Heroes is keeping things rolling with this list of upcoming events:
Voting Gauntlet: Clash of the Claws starts Jan. 29, 11 PM PT. Train up the Hero you wish to support to get ready for the event. There’s also a Voting Gauntlet Log-In Bonus from which you can receive up to 13 Orbs.
Just before the Voting Gauntlet: Clash of the Claws event begins on Jan. 29, three beastly leaders will be available as part of a 5★ summoning focus. Your first summon on the focus won’t cost any orbs.
Mjölnir’s Strike: Counter phase is now active. Use your Counter Arrows wisely: save them for the latter half, or use the Weaker Bonus to triple your power. Players who didn’t participate in the Shield phase can still join in on this round.
A new update has rolled out for Pokemon Masters, bringing with it a small list of adjustments and fixes. The update itself clocks in at 31MB, with a 281MB download of additional data when launching the title. The changes this time are as follows:
