When we last shared news about Children of Morta, it was around three years ago. The game had been funded on Kickstarter and was planned for Wii U.
Unsurprisingly, Wii U no longer appears to be in the picture. Children of Morta is planned for Switch instead, and is targeting a 2019 release.
A slight update on the Pokemon movie front: Pokemon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution’s opening day in Japanese theaters will be July 12th, 2019. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all the information we have on the movie right now. Given its title, we can infer that Mewtwo will have a starrring role, but so far we have no official synopsis and no trailer yet.
There’s also no word yet on the movie’s international release. The past couple of Pokemon movies got a limited theatrical run in some countries before being released on home media and streaming services.
Other than the two New Power Summoning Foci, we’ve got two other bits of Fire Emblem Heroes news for you today. Intelligent Systems revealed the event calendar for the game up through January, which you can see above. All of the regular events are present as usual, and there will also be two Special Heroes summoning events, which will likely be Christmas and New Years-themed, given their timing.
Also, Tactics Drills got its usual Thursday update today. The new map “A Merciful Boost”can be found in the Skill Studies section.
Developer Bandana Kid’s puzzle platformer Elli was originally set to launch in December on Nintendo Switch. Today, Bandana Kid announced that the game was delayed a bit – it is now set to launch on the Nintendo Switch eShop on January 10th, 2019.

These Summoning Focuses are expected to last until December 23rd.
Ahead of it’s Japanese release a week from now, Capcom has published three new videos for Onimusha: Warlords.
Specifically, two of these videos focus on the title song of the upcoming remaster, “Cleave ~Ittou Ryoudan~”. While one is a brief commercial for the game with the song previewed in the background, the other is a message from the performers — a Japanese rock band named Rookiez is Punk’d.
Unrelated to the song, the third video is a type of gameplay primer episode, featuring Japanese comedian Gorgeous, Onimusha ambassador Amatsuuni, and a real-life samurai.
All three videos have been posted below.
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include YIIK, ToeJam & Earl, Atari Flashback Classics, and more.
