Yesterday, the Summer’s Arrival Summoning Focus went live in Fire Emblem Heroes, and one of the featured Heroes, Noire: Shade Seeker, has a brand new skill: Infantry Rush. What this skill is supposed to do is give infantry allies within two spaces a faster special charge if their attack is higher than their opponent’s. However, a bug has been discovered regarding this skill. Instead of only allies, Infantry Rush affects nearby enemy units as well.
Intelligent Systems have sent out a notice today that they identified this bug and that it will be fixed via a patch within the next few days. As an apology, orbs will also be sent out to all players.
Although Nintendo has been taking extensive measures against hackers on Nintendo Switch lately, it seems like they haven’t gotten everything under control yet. One of things that hackers have managed to accomplish is the ability to use your own custom pictures as your Switch profile icon. This wouldn’t really be a huge problem on its over, however this image is visible to other players in Super Mario Odyssey’s Balloon World mode – and some hackers have reportedly been using pornographic images as their profile pictures. In a game that is intended for players of all ages, this is obviously an issue.
Hopefully, Nintendo is able to take swift countermeasures against this. Until then, if you have younger children, it’s probably best to not let them play the Balloon World mode for a while.
Mario Tennis Aces has a fairly significant day one update. Among other things, it adds the Online Tournament mode to the game and significantly improves the online play experience. Below are the full patch notes:

Etrian Odyssey X launches in Japan on August 2nd.
Today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate blog update unfortunately isn’t all that exciting or new. Just like yesterday with Link, it’s the (re-)introduction of a veteran – today, the focus is on the Ice Climbers, who are returning from Super Smash Bros. Brawl after missing out on Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U.
Back in the battle after a ten-year absence! There are two of them, so does that make them twice as strong as other fighters?
ToyBox’ adventure game World End Syndrome got its (hopefully final) release date today. It was originally supposed to launch in April before being delayed to “Summer”. Now, publisher Arc System Works announced that the game will launch in Japan on August 30. A Western localization has so far not yet been announced.
The Animal Crossing phone game has listed a few big updates coming for the game. Firstly all animal’s max level of friendship has been raised to 25. A bunch of new bugs, fish and shells will be added for collecting. A new sunflower field will be added as campsite terrain. Finally a number of quality of life fixes that’ll help user such as being able to fast-forward animal conversations.
