Earlier today, the Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast shared photos of what appear to be concept models for Super Nintendo World. They were apparently dated from 2016. Orlando ParkStop believes the photos are legitimate based on what it has heard of upcoming plans.
Here are some of the highlights from the photos:
Hello my beautiful weapon triangles! Fire Emblem: Three Houses is coming out in three weeks, so we’re celebrating by discussing all about some new details we’ve got on how the game plays and how Koei Tecmo was involved with Nintendo to make this game happen.
We also talk about some interesting comments from Nintendo on 5G, Cloud Gaming, VR, and a new control style they want to create for next-gen that will become the new industry standard. Peculiar stuff! Oni also gushes about Daemon X Machina and laments Bloodstained stumble onto the Switch.

Castlevania has been an incredibly important series for the entire medium of gaming. It has also had a long, illustrious life and popularity due in part to longtime series producer Koji Igarashi. The terms Metroidvania and “Igavania” had since been coined thanks to Castlevania’s unique direction of gameplay that usually requires the players to uncover large sections of a map by simply exploring. A huge portion of the fun comes from uncovering the area and seeing how seamlessly it all connects with each other as you run into locked doors and keys in various rooms and levels that intertwine before progressing even further. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the newest creation from Igarashi, would be a return to form to a more nostalgic time in video game history, with very little hand-holding and a freedom of exploration only interrupted by a player’s lack of curiosity. It’s without a doubt one of my favorite games to come out this year, but unfortunately, the Switch version of the game should not be the platform of choice when deciding to tackle an otherwise truly fantastic experience that’s been long overdue for fans of the genre.
Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 5 is now live on Fire Emblem Heroes. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II are here as focus Heroes, and the focus lineup changes each week. You’ll also notice that 5-star focus Heroes have an initial appearance rate of 4%.
Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 5 will be in Fire Emblem Heroes until July 14.
It’s been quiet on the Nintendo maintenance front as of late, but things are about to ramp up once again. Four different sessions are currently planned for Switch over the next week.
Here’s the schedule as of now:

As we first found out at Anime Expo, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is in development for Switch. We have a few screenshots and pieces of art from the game below.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is slated for sometime in 2020.
Retailers have shared the official boxart for the Switch version of Dead by Daylight. We’ve attached the game’s packaging image above.
