NIS America started up a new 2024 End of Winter Switch eShop Sale this week featuring the lowest prices ever for Crystar, Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles, and more. All told there are about a dozen titles discounted.
Here’s the full lineup:
You may recall a bit of a niche music game that released on Wii titled Major Minor’s Majestic March. Masaya Matsuura, who worked on games like Vib-Ribbon and PaRappa the Rapper, was one of the main designers involved with the project.
Matsuura reflected on Major Minor’s Majestic March in a recent issue of EDGE and had some criticisms for Nintendo. He said that the company didn’t do a good job at explaining the Wii Remote’s functionality and said “there was a lack of transparency that hurt developers like us.” Along with “adding new and subtle features” Nintendo was also “amending the design as time went on, which changed the scope for us.”
Attuned Ivy & Rearmed Hortensia will be the next summoning event in Fire Emblem Heroes, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced.
New Heroes from Fire Emblem Engage, including Attuned Hero Ivy: Snow Queen and Rearmed Hero Hortensia: Little Charmer, will be available. Rosado: Adorable Artist and Kagetsu: Onigiri Samurai are here as well.
The Attuned Ivy & Rearmed Hortensia summoning event for Fire Emblem Heroes starts on February 18 / February 19. We have the trailer below.
