Hello my coffee-flavored Gooigis. This week on NEP, we’re looking back on our predictions of 2019 and seeing what we got right, wrong, and what was totally unexpected. Luigi’s Mansion 3, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Pokemon Sword and Shield and more–it’s funny how much our perspectives changed in under one year.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
Nintendo’s maintenance schedule has been updated once again. Judging by what’s currently planned, Switch will be impacted for a couple of sessions today/tomorrow, and some downtime related to the distribution of update data is still planned for the start of 2020.
Here’s the schedule in full:
Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 9 is up and running in Fire Emblem Heroes. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II appear as focus Heroes, and the focus lineup changes each week. The event will be live until December 29.
Hall of Forms has also started as another event in Fire Emblem Heroes. Throughout its duration, players will need to devise a strategy to guide special units made in the image of Heroes called Forma safely through the Hall of Forms. Clear a map once a day to earn Orbs or Dragonflowers for up to seven days.
