The official Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account has revealed the current standings of the A Hero Rises voting event, whose winner will be made available for free to all players.

The top 20 are in the image below. As you can see, the top four are Ike: Vanguard Legend, Hector: General of Ostia, Tharja: “Normal Girl” and Azura: Lady of Ballads. Currently, those four would make it into the second round of the vote, which would then determine the overall winner. However, there are still five days left to vote in the first round, so get your votes in here.

A new weapon will be added to Splatoon 2 pretty soon, and this time, it’s a variant of a weapon that debuted in Splatoon 2. The Custom Goo Tuber is identical to the regular Goo Tuber in terms of stats, but comes with the Curling Comb sub-weapon and the Inkjet special instead. It’ll be available in-game tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.

Hello! If you’ve been having any issues accessing the site over the past couple of days, it’s been intentional. Mostly.

We’ve been carrying out some much-needed site maintenance this week. We didn’t really expect things to last as long as they did, unfortunately. If we anticipated maintenance taking multiple days, we would have provided advance notice. The site has been up for the most part, but today in particular there were issues. We’re mostly done… for this week anyway, though if you happen to see any downtime (it’s very unlikely), you’ll know why.

There’s actually a ton that we still have to do from a technical perspective, but in the near-term, it shouldn’t impact anyone who visits Nintendo Everything normally. This year, hopefully sooner rather than later, we hope to make some improvements that won’t just be for the backend of the site. While we’re definitely not going for an overhaul/redesign, we’ll be implementing at least one change that has been requested in the past.

Thanks for bearing with us!
