Blossom Tales publisher FDG Entertainment has provided an update on the game’s strong performance on Switch. According to the company, sales on Nintendo’s platform have now surpassed Steam sales by a factor of 20.
FDG previously said that Blossom Tales sold double the amount of units on Switch launch day compared to lifetime sales on Steam. In March, we heard that Switch surpassed Steam lifetime revenue by 20x.
A new rating for Blaster Master Zero has popped up on the ESRB. Rather than Inti Creates, Nicalis is listed as the game’s publisher. You know what that means: Blaster Master Zero is very likely getting a physical release.

In Spain, a State of Mind Special Edition has been released. It includes the game, a book showing off the world, soundtrack CD, keychain, sticker, set of postcards, and special box. We have an unboxing video from Avance below.

Shin Megami Tensei V was announced all the way back at the Nintendo Switch reveal event in January 2017. Since then, we haven’t heard a whole lot about the game from Atlus. Today, the game’s producer, Kazuyuki Yamai, broke the silence at least a little bit in an interview. While he didn’t really provide any real new info, he said that “the team is still working hard” on the game, that “no compromises” would be made to make the game deserving of being a mainline Shin Megami Tensei title, and that more news would be shared at a later date when the time is right.
Perhaps we will we hear something concrete about SMT V at Tokyo Game Show next month. That would certainly be an appropriate venue.
The Japanese Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has posted a teaser picture for the game’s next event, which should start fairly soon. It seems like grapes will be a major theme of this event.

The next round of Grand Conquest battles in Fire Emblem Heroes will start on August 29, and you can now pre-register for it. This time, the battles will take place on the continent of Jugdral from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.
A couple of changes have been made to the mode. Each battle wll consist of 11 rounds instead of 22, and each one will last 4 hours. Also, the method for calculating the final score has been changed. It will now be determined using the area score from each round and the total number of controlled areas at the end of the final round.
Nintendo has posted another update to the Smash Bros. Blog for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This time around, we have an introduction to Ness.
Here’s the overview:
Nintendo’s Japanese website states that the latest update to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 added an annoying bug to the game, causing some quests impossible to complete in certain cases. Perfectly Nintendo lists the Blade Questions with problems:
