This week’s issue of Famitsu has two pieces of Switch-related news from D3 Publisher.
The magazine first announces that The Mahjong is coming to Switch in Japan on June 21. The physical version will cost 2,800 yen while the digital release will be priced at 1,852 yen.
Also on June 21, Escape Trick: 35 Fateful Enigmas will be getting a boxed release for 2,800 yen as well. It is already being sold digitally on the Switch eShop. Aside from Japan, it can currently be purchased in the west.
Fire Emblem Heroes is back again with two more events. Players can partake in the latest Voting Gauntlet and special maps.
First up, Voting Gauntlet: Bunny Battle Ballot is live. Lasting until April 9, the number-one leporine Hero will be decided. Quests will be available where you can earn Battle Flags, Orbs, Sacred Coins, and Refining Stones.
Fire Emblem Heroes also has another new map theme on Fire Emblem Fates. This time, a map featuring Odin: Potent Force has been added.
The Zipper’s Wonderland Event kicked off in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp a few days ago. Starting today, the second half has started.
Players will find new flowers and tasks in Zipper’s Wonderland Event. By helping Zipper collect scramblers, you’ll unlock more rewards. Zipper’s Wonderland Packs can be purchased as well, which contain items that help capture more scramblers.

As Shelter Generations approaches its launch on Switch this month, Circle Entertainment has sent out a new teaser trailer. We have it below.
Earlier today, a major update for Rocket League dropped on Switch. Though Psyonix did share a ton of official patch notes, players have come across something that wasn’t mentioned.
The Switch version of Rocket League how has an option to link your Nintendo Account to Twitch. The thing is, it doesn’t work as of now. You’ll be presented with an error when attempting to connect to an account. The message “Failed to Connect With Nintendo Online Service Servers” appears.
Some folks are speculating that the link could be tied to Rocket League Fan Awards, which would make sense. However, we don’t have official confirmation at present in large part because the link is broken currently. If we receive additional information, we’ll let you know.
Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.
