Last week, the Fire Emblem Cipher Festival event was held in Japan. Those who attended were treated to something special. It’s not online at the moment, but fans were shown a character trailer for Tharja in Fire Emblem Warriors.
Based on reports from those who were present, Tharja is apparently a Robin clone. Also, one of the new History Maps is based on Chapter 9 of Fire Emblem Awakening, where she’s recruited. The video also showed that during her victory movie, she poses like her official figure.
After previously releasing it on Wii U and New 3DS, Turtle Cream is finishing up a Switch port of 6180 the moon. The platformer doesn’t have a release date yet, but is due out “soon”.
The main hook of 6180 the moon is that the top and bottom of the screen are connected. We have a bit of additional information and a trailer below.
Usually when a developer announces that something has been submitted to Nintendo, that tends to mean it’s close to release. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case with the Bedrock Edition for Minecraft on Switch.
It was recently mentioned during an official live stream on Twitch that Bedrock Edition had been submitted to Nintendo. But during another stream a few days ago, it was clarified that Bedrock is “not done” on Nintendo’s console and the team has “quite a ways to go”. Bedrock is also not in final certification.
Switch was originally supposed to receive the new features and content from Bedrock Edition last year. It’s intended to unite all versions of Minecraft, including support for cross-platform play.
Next Thursday, OPUS: Rocket of Whispers will be available on Switch as a digital download. Take a look at some early footage below.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a fighting mashup of four different franchises. BlazBlue, Persona 4 (Arena), Under Night In-Birth, and RWBY are all represented here.
When Cross Tag Battle was initially announced, RWBY’s inclusion was arguably the most surprising inclusion. Producer Toshimichi Mori explained how the collaboration came to be in an interview with GamerHubTV.
Forever Entertainment released Sparkle 3 Genesis on Switch this Thursday. For a look at the game in action, watch the video below.
Nintendo has posted another behind the scenes music recording session video for Super Mario Odyssey. This time around, Forgotten Isle is the focus.
We have the video below:
「ロス島」のBGMでは不思議な島の雰囲気を出すために様々な楽器を使っているんです。エキゾチックな音色の笛や、異なる音程を出せる「トーキングドラム」が特徴的です！カメの形をしてる楽器など、見ているだけでも面白いですね。 pic.twitter.com/vwgY2NDZES

Last month, tinyBuild hosted a special #HelloSwitch presentation. Several games were announced for Nintendo’s console, including Clustertruck, Party Hard, and Hello Neighbor.
#HelloSwitch won’t just be a one-time thing. tinyBuild has confirmed that another presentation is planned, and filming has already started.
The company wrote on Twitter a few days ago:
It’s Sunday morning and we are filming tinyBuild’s second #HelloSwitch event! pic.twitter.com/HTdLvAh7QR

Thanks to Arison for the tip.
Niantic is in the process of rolling out a new update for Pokemon GO. If you don’t see the patch already, you should be able to download it very soon. Pokemon GO has been updated to version 1.65.3 on iOS and version 0.95.3 on Android.
After applying the update, users will find that Facebook credentials can now be used to log into the app via the ‘Account’ section in Settings. Various bug fixes and performance updates have also been implemented.
Kitfox Games confirmed yesterday that a new update has gone out for Moon Hunters. Two improvements have been implemented.
First, Moon Hunters should have a smoother overall frame rate. Additionally, the game has implemented a better single Joy-Con mode detection. That’s it for the update, but both are worthwhile in improving Moon Hunters on Switch.
