Titled The Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018, these concerts will take place on November 22nd and December 14th in Tokyo and on November 25th in Osaka.

Tickets cost between 7,500 Yen for regular seats and 12,000 Yen for so-called “Master Seats”, which also include several Zelda-themed goodies.

The conductor for the concerts will be Taizo Takemoto, who served in the same role for the Majora’s Mask 3D concert in 2o15 and the Zelda 30th anniversary concert in 2016. The concerts in Tokyo will be performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, while the Osaka show will be performed by the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra.

A sneak peak of features the Pocket Camp developers are working on revealed we should expect two quality of life improvements in the near future. Those are:

• Inventory Increase: the maximum capacity for furniture and clothing items will each be increased from 1,500 to 2,000.

• Quarry Helper Log: You will be able to check a list of players who helped you get into Shovelstrike Quarry.

No release schedule was mentioned but given the frequency of Pocket Camp updates it probably won’t be too long before these changes roll out.

According to an article from nextn.es, Super Mario Party will only be playable with Joy-Cons, leaving out Pro Controllers and third-party accessories. This shouldn’t come as a giant surprise, given many of the minigames in the title will likely revolve around the Joy-Con’s unique features, but it’s sure to be disappointing for many who prefer traditional controls.
