At this point, it’s safe to say that there’s going to be a Nintendo Direct this month. An EA leak pointed to it. Amazon put up over a dozen placeholder listings yesterday before promptly taking them down. And it’s no secret that Nintendo’s lineup for this year is mostly a mystery.
When Darkest Dungeon launches on Switch, it could be receiving a physical release. Amazon Germany has added a listing for the “Darkest Dungeon: Crimson Edition”.
At the moment, the listing itself doesn’t provide much information. It only shows that Headup will be publishing, a price point of €39.99, and a tentative March 22 release date.
Red Hook Studios previously indicated that the team hopes to have Darkest Dungeon on Switch sometime this month. This new physical version has not yet been officially announced.
Fire Emblem Heroes is celebrating the new year in a few different ways. These include log-in bonuses, special maps, and quests.
First, Nintendo is offering a log-in bonus where you can obtain 20 Orbs when you log in up to 10 times. Between January 1 and January 3, special maps will be available to earn Orbs (up to 18 in total). And lastly, you’ll be able to partake in quests until January 8 to earn Orbs and Stamina Potions.
Fire Emblem Warriors has gone on sale over at Amazon. For Switch, you can save $10 on the special edition or $20 on the regular release. The New 3DS version has also been discounted by almost $10.
A few months ago, SnowCastle Games announced that Earthlock: Festival of Magic is planned for Switch. Although we still don’t have a specific games, we now know that the console is getting a much improved version of the game.
SnowCastle said in a blog post that Earthlock will be relaunched with changes and additions across the board. The story has been “massively changed”, side quests have been added, performance and cut-scenes have been improved, and more.
All sorts of messages and special drawings have been sent out on social media over the past day or so to celebrate the start of 2018. Nintendo’s various social media accounts got in on the fun, and even Retro Studios sent out the rare tweet to ring in the new year. Other official accounts are also wishing their fans well, including Sonic and many others.
Here’s the full roundup:
