Flyhigh Works announced a pair of new titles for Switch during a presentation today. OPUS: Rocket of Whispers and Ninja Striker are both due out sometime in 2018.
OPUS: Rocket of Whispers is the next game in the series following The Day We Found Earth. It’s a third-person adventure that takes place in a snowy post-apocalyptic wilderness of an unknown world many years in the future.
Flyhigh Works provided an update on the sales of two Switch games during a video presentation today.
Kamiko, released at the end of April, has surpassed over 160,000 downloads worldwide. The most recent number confirmed in October was 150,000 downloads.
The rhythm game Voez also seems to be doing pretty well. The game has been downloaded over 50,000 times.
In Japan, Switch owners started receiving surveys from Nintendo for different games. One question asks if they would recommend that title to a friend or family.
Nintendo published the results today based on data collected by December 27. A game was only eligible if it received over 300 responses.
The current standings are as follows:
Shin Megami Tensei V was first teased at the Switch reveal event back in January and was officially announced in October with a brief trailer. That trailer didn’t feature any gameplay footage – because, as it turns out, there really isn’t any gameplay that’s fit to be shown off yet. In the same group interview with various Japanese developers that also revealed Level-5’s Switch focus next year, Shin Megami Tensei series producer Kazuyuki Yamai touched on the game’s current state of development.
They are currently in the “scrap and build” phase, meaning that they are trying out various gameplay concepts to find out what works and what doesn’t on a trial-and-error basis. Yamai states that since this is the first mainline Shin Megami Tensei title on a home console in a while, he’d like to develop the game properly without any compromises. He would also like to properly reveal the game soon to show off how it plays, but asks fans to be patient for a while longer.
The Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account announced that a new summoning focus will go live on December 31st. They didn’t announce which units would be featured on the focus though, only posting the silhouettes of two units. However, a new patch for the game went live today and dataminers found out that it also contains all the data about that upcoming summoning focus. The four featured units in the focus will be Takumi, Azura, male Corrin and Camilla, all sporting traditional Hoshidan New Year’s outfits (i.e. kimonos). Takumi uses daggers, Azura is a flying axe user, Corrin uses bows and Camilla is a flying sword user.
Fire Emblem Heroes has kicked off a couple of new events. The Legendary Heroes summoning, first announced yesterday, is now live. You can also earn double EXP and SP in battle.
For the Legendary Heroes summoning, you can get Gunnthra: Voice f Dreams. Nintendo is also offering 5-star Special Heroes that were released previously. 5-star Focus Heroes will have an initial appearance rate of 8% as well, and the rate for regular 5-star Heroes will be 0%.

Level-5 hasn’t really done much with Switch thus far. But in 2018, that should be changing.
4Gamer spoke with Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, who spoke about plans for next year. He cited Inazuma Eleven Ares and Ni no Kuni II as upcoming titles, before going on to say that the company will focus on Switch in 2018 – or literally that they’ll put their power into the new console.
Hino also mentioned in his remarks that Level-5 is preparing a 20th anniversary title. However, it’s unclear if it has any relations to Switch.
