Hello, my DLC fighters! In today’s episode of NEP, we’re in Tokyo for upcoming Tokyo Game Show. Please excuse the audio quality as we gush about the Nintendo Direct that slayed us. Destiny is the Animal Crossing of Shlooters, Overwatch.Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, new Kirby, Pokemon curry and new designs that are dumb- we love them. SNES games on Switch finally. And Animal Crossing is the cyberpunk of non-binary accessibility options. And Oni goes wild for Xenoblade. And so much more.
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!
A new pre-order bonus has been revealed for Ni no Kuni on Switch. Copies will include a reversible cover sleeve, according to Bandai Namco.

Grand Conquests has arrived today in Fire Emblem Heroes. As a change from the last event, the opening dialogue can now be viewed in Event Recap.
Here’s an overview of Grand Conquests:
Pokemon Sword/Shield had its own spotlight during the latest Nintendo Direct. In the footage shown, fans noticed that an auto-save message briefly appears.
This is something that would be very much appreciated in most games, but because of the nature of Pokemon, fans have some concerns. Auto-saving could interfere with resetting for shiny Pokemon and different natures as well as certain battles/encounters.
Fortunately, Pokemon Sword/Shield still has a manual save option. It’s very much possible that auto-save is optional or is limited to certain areas.
GameSpot has shared some footage from the recently-announced Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns. Have a look at the gameplay below.
Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns will be out for Switch on September 19.
