Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have revealed “A Sketchy Summer” as the latest event for Fire Emblem Heroes. Linde, Tiki, Takumi, and Camilla will be featured.
Along with the latest Special Heroes, there will be a new Paralogue Story as is usually the case.
Look for the Fire Emblem Heroes – A Sketchy Summer summoning event on July 10. We have a trailer below.
Fire Emblem Heroes has received its latest update. On both iOS and Android, version 2.7.0 is available. Note that maintenance is currently taking place, so you won’t be able to open the app itself.
Below are the patch notes, featuring the new Tactics Drills map type and more:
The North American Octopath Traveler website is now open. You can find Nintendo’s site for the Switch RPG here.
Some of the pages haven’t gone live yet, but there’s still plenty to see. The site houses a few different videos, information about the playable characters, and more.
For the upcoming Switch and 3DS versions of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Nintendo has included a few new levels based on Super Mario Odyssey. It turns out that they can be accessed immediately, but you’ll need amiibo to do it.
If you have any of the Super Mario Odyssey amiibo, you can scan them to unlock these stages right away. It works with the wedding figures for Mario, Peach, and Bowser. Don’t have amiibo? You can still access the courses – just by going through the game normally.
As for other amiibo, if you have a Toad figure, you can use it to obtain an Invincibility Mushroom. All other amiibo provide a 1-Up Mushroom.
At the start of 2018, Nintendo announced a partnership with Illumination for a new Mario movie. Chris Meledandri is a producer on the project, as is Shigeru Miyamoto.
The movie is likely early on in production, so it makes sense that details surrounding it are mostly unknown. But Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime did comment on the film in an interview with IGN, stating that it’s intended to appeal to Mario fans as well as newcomers.
After GameMaker Studio 2 support was announced for Switch earlier this year, Lowe Bros. Studios expressed interest in bringing its platform brawler to the console. The developer shared a brief update this week. Once the Steam version drops, Lowe Bros. intends to pitch the game to Nintendo.
Indie Pogo is just a few days away from its Steam launch, as it’s planned for July 10. It has playable fighters from Shovel Knight, Freedom Planet, Bit.Trip, Freedom Planet, VVVVVV, and more.

CoroCoro has given a closer look at new Spy Gear for Splatoon 2. This was the “shocking announcement” the Japanese magazine had been teasing a few weeks ago.
The September 2018 issue of CoroCoro will come a serial code that can be used to unlock everything shown below. Fans can purchase the magazine starting around August 10.
Over the past several years, AlphaDream has made a name for itself thanks to the Mario & Luigi titles. The studio has been creating various entries in the series dating back to the Game Boy Advance. A few months ago, Nintendo announced that AlphaDream is developing a remake of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story for 2019.
AlphaDream has primarily been focusing on 3DS as of late. However, a recruitment listing gives hope that the team is thinking about Switch as well. The company’s site has a listing up for a 2D / 3D graphic designer, which includes Switch, mobile, and even the PlayStation 4.
It would be surprising for AlphaDream to branch away from Nintendo given the studio’s history. But if nothing else, various platforms could be under consideration for future projects.
Fire Emblem Heroes will be hosting its latest summoning event next week. In an official notice, new Special Heroes are teased as shown in the silhouette above. The event will begin on July 10.
This weekend, Fire Emblem Heroes added in its latest Blessed Gardens map featuring Fountain of Wind. Special Maps: Rival Domains also received its regular update.
