It’s another busy day in Fire Emblem Heroes, as three more events are up and running. These include Grand Hero Battle Revival – Lyon: Shadow Prince, Daily Summoning Event: Heroes with Miracle, and Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 9.
Grand Hero Battle Revival – Lyon: Shadow Prince will be live for just two days only, which comes with some limited-time quests as well. Heroes with Miracle is even shorter, lasting just a single day. Weekly Revival 9 ends on August 11, and features 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II.
Nintendo has a few different sessions of maintenance planned, most of which are specifically for Switch. The downtime starts tomorrow and leads into the middle of the week.
Here’s the current maintenance schedule:
Tucked away inside Nintendo’s latest release schedule was a small but interesting announcement. The Irregular Corporation is bringing PC Building Simulator to Switch, the document reveals.
There are plenty of simulator titles to choose form these days, but PC Building Simulator might be worth keeping an eye on. It launched on Steam earlier this year where it has received overwhelming positive feedback.
If you’ve played some of Team Ninja’s previous games such as Ninja Gaiden, you know how difficult they can be. Apparently that toughness rubbed off on the team when Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order was in development. According to producer Yosuke Hayashi, Marvel Games told Team Ninja that the Switch game was too difficult, which led to adjustments being implemented.
Hayashi told IGN:
At Evo 2019 later today, Arc System Works is expected to debut a new trailer for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. The video was leaked online, and although it has since been pulled, some major information is floating around online.

In a recent news post sent out to Switch owners, Nintendo provided a listing of the top 15 European eShop downloads for July 2019.

According to Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo, Ys VIII met sales expectations on Switch in the west. In Japan, though, “the game struggled”.
Kondo passed along that bit of news in an interview with Noisy Pixel. When asked if Nihon Falcom would ever consider any exclusive games for Switch, Kondo stated:
Kairosoft is continuing its Switch support with two more games. Oh! Edo Towns, along with The Pyraplex, release on the eShop next week.
Here are overviews and trailers for both:
