Here’s the full chart:

Fire Emblem Heroes is back with a new Feh Channel presentation, which is largely dedicated to the 2023 Choose Your Legends promotion.

The upcoming summoning event will be known as Turn of Fate. It will begin on August 16, lasting for a full month. The lineup includes Corrin: Silent Bloodline (voiced by Marcella Lentz-Pope, art by Essual), Soren: Radiant Confidant (voiced by Kyle McCarley, art by Kita Senri), Gullveig: Seer Beyond Time (voiced by Alice Himora, art by Yoshiku), and Robin: Exalt’s Deliverer (voiced by David Vincent, art by Wada Sachiko).

Sven: Completely Screwed just came to Switch a few days ago, and for a closer look, we have new gameplay. Almost a half hour of footage is in.

Thanks to the eShop, we have the following description of the title:

Originally developed by ebi-hime, Embraced By Autumn is now making the jump to Switch via Ratalaika Games. The title is heading to the console this week.

Embraced By Autumn is a visual novel featuring four heroines in an all-girls’ boarding school and stars Marcel, who “is bullied relentlessly by the boys at his fancy Parisian school”. Further details can be found in the following overview:

Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games around these days, but early on, one could argue that it struggled to find its identity with many comparing it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The initial harsh reception seemed to have done a number on the development team.

During the Genshin Impact FES event, miHoYo president Lie Wei spoke about what it was like at the company when a video of the closed beta was released. Many didn’t really seem to understand what the title was going for, and again, the Zelda comparisons came about very often. Things were probably at the absolute worst at ChinaJoy in 2019 in which some fans protested and someone went as far as to smash their PS4 during the event.

Matter Games was previously able to find success on Kickstarter for its upcoming project Reflectile. Just over $18,000 was raised, securing the title for funding. A Switch version is confirmed as well.

Reflectile, a minimal precision-puzzle game, has players going through various stages as they seek the goal by reflecting, directing, and slowing down their tile. More information can be found in the following overview:

Disney Dreamlight Valley just received a new update for August 14, 2023.

The team says this is a hotfix update. The team has been looking through community feedback and issue reports to eliminate some bugs since the previous DreamSnaps patch.

Here’s the full rundown:

For the next Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 spotlight trailer, we have a look at Jimmy Neutron. He’s a brand new addition for the sequel.

One of Jimmy’s hooks is the use of Goddard. The robot companion can be summoned and then controlled, though Jimmy is vulnerable while that’s going on. Goddard will also be destroyed after taking a bit of damage, but it can shoot lasers, chomp opponents, and be dropped on an enemy’s head.

Original (4/7): Red Art Games has announced plans to produce a physical release for Castle of Shikigami 2 on Switch in the west.

Both ESRB and PEGI-rated versions are planned. Video Games Plus will be handling distribution for North America while Red Art Games will be handling things for Europe.

We have new gameplay from Zombie Soup, a top-down arena shooter. Astrolabe Games just published this one on Switch recently.

For those that missed our previous coverage, here’s what to expect from the title:
