FIFA 19 will be released on Nintendo Switch in about a month, on September 28. Something you won’t be able to do at that point yet is celebrate the goals you score in the game with Fortnite-inspired celebrations.
Fortnite, being as popular as it is, is played by tons of people – including professional football players, so once in a while you see a player bust out one of the emotes from Fortnite to celebrate a goal. In a kind of weird real life & game back-and-forth crossover, some of these Fortnite celebrations might now in turn be added to FIFA 19. At gamescom, Eurogamer asked FIFA Creative Director Matt Prior about the possibility of Fortnite emotes in FIFA and got the following answer:
“We pride ourselves on authenticity so if it’s something you see in the real world, if a player – Griezmann, Dele Alli, those guys generally tend to do that – if it’s something they do, then it’s something we would potentially look to emulate. At the end of the day, if you watch a game and you see something in the real world game, we want that reflected in our own title. So there is potential.”
Of course, Epic Games would also need to give the okay for this. Asked about any potential copyright issues, Prior said that they would “cross that bridge when [they] came to it”. Seems like we won’t get Fortnite celebrations in FIFA soon, but it is something EA is considering.
FuRyu has released a new trailer for their upcoming Switch RPG Work x Work, showing off some gameplay:
Gamescom is still going on, but the next big gaming event is coming up soon – Tokyo Game Show 2018 will take place from September 20th till September 23rd. Today, Capcom announced their lineup for the show. As far as Nintendo systems are concerned, Capcom will be showing off two games: the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and Mega Man 11 on Nintendo Switch. Completing Capcom’s lineup are Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 2. All of these games will be playable and will also be getting stage presentations.
Two quick Fire Emblem Heroes updates today: first up, it’s Thursday, which means that the Tactics Drills got updated. Two maps were added to the Skill Studies section today: Brave Celica and Veronica & Brave Hector and Ephraim.
Also, the rewards for Feh’s Summer Quiz have been sent out set. Since all answers were answered correctly by the majority of players, everyone will receive 10 Orbs and 5,000 Hero Feathers. Also, every player will receive 1 Orb for each question they answered, no matter if the answer was correct or not.
The Summertime Bug Catching event is live and by completing the goals you can earn items. One potential prize is Bunnie’s li’l red cookie, which is “packed full of lovely Little Red Riding Hood-themed furniture and clothing!”
The Summertime Bug Catching event runs until August 30. If 3 million horned dynastids are caught by its end, everyone will receive 50 Leaf Tickets. The official Animal Crossing Twitter account will regularly share how many have been caught so far.
