Nintendo has released a new trailer for an imminent Fire Emblem Heroes event. It showcases the additions of Micaiah, Sothe, and Zelgius from Radiant Dawn. A new story chapter will also be included.
The latest Fire Emblem Heroes banner goes live on January 11 at 11 PM PT / January 12 at 2 AM ET. View a trailer for the event below.
Nintendo has announced that a new Splatoon 2 stage will be added to the game tomorrow. Shellendorf Institute, originally revealed with the news of the big November and December updates, will be playable soon.
Shellendorf Institute arrives in Splatoon 2 at the following times:
– 6 PM PT (January 11)
– 9 PM ET (January 11)
– 2 AM in the UK (January 12)
– 3 AM in Europe (January 12)
Update 2 (1/10): At this point it’s hardly a surprise, but the person behind the video has come forward, confirming that it’s fake:
Well guys, I'm sorry.
The Switch 5.0 Leak is OFFICIALLY fake! I'm proud to announce that I was behind the mock-up that so many of us wish that @NintendoAmerica learns from.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words, and lets all pray for a direct soon! pic.twitter.com/T17qu3FIpx— NintenFanart (@NintenFanart) January 11, 2018
Update: A couple of red flags have been pointed out since the video first made the rounds. First, the YouTube icon pictured isn’t the latest logo. Secondly, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe seems to be shown on the console as a digital download, that would take up 6.8GB of memory – yet it only shows that 2GB is used in the video. For now we unfortunately have to lean much closer to this being fake.
Original (1/5): A new video has made its way online that claims to offer a look at Switch version 5.0.0. It shows a few significant features, including folders, the ability to create an online lounge, cloud storage, themes, and more.
Here’s the video in question:
The video does an admirable job of coming off as legitimate, but in this day and age, you can never be too certain. We’ve definitely seen realistic “leaks” in the past that ultimately turned out to be fake. In any case, we should know if this is the real deal fairly soon, as the person who uploaded the video claims the firmware launches in early February. For now, take this with a big grain of salt.
Nintendo has just released a new update for Fire Emblem Heroes. On both iOS and Android, version 2.1.0 can be downloaded.
Nintendo’s official patch notes are as follows:
・ The limit on Hero Merit has been increased to 4,000.
・ Additional possibilities await in Sacred Seal Forge and Weapon Refinery.
・ A new feature to check the battle map before battle has been added.
・ New maps have been added to the Arena.
・ Bug fixes.

Gunhouse is set for release on Switch early next week as a digital download. Get a look at some gameplay footage in the video below.
The news cycle often goes by without anything out of the ordinary. Today was not one of those days. With a surge of hype surrounding an unconfirmed Nintendo Direct, fans are going crazy, and Nintendo even seems to be getting in on the fun.
Everything traces back to the end of November, when an internal EA email leaked. Marketing materials indicated that a Nintendo Direct would be held sometime in January, and Fe would be featured. Fast forward a few weeks later and the date thrown around was specifically January 11.
We already have the results for the third global mission in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon. With players having collectively won 100,000 times at the Battle Agency, it has been a success.
2,000 Festival Coins will be handed out to everyone who participates. If you register at the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission, you’ll earn 4,000 Festival Coins.

The main game will cost $24.99. You can also purchase The Crimson Court and The Shieldbreaker DLC for $9.99 and $3.99 respectively. The Color of Madness DLC, which is still in development, will also be on Switch in the future.
