More villagers are on the way to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. The game’s official Twitter account sent out the image above last night, teasing what’s to come. Currently only the new characters’ silhouettes, so Nintendo wants to keep fans guessing for the time being.
According to this week’s issue of Famitsu, WorldNeverland: Elnea Kingdom is planned for Switch. The game will be out in Spring 2018 in Japan.
We’ve seen some games make the jump from mobile to Switch. WorldNeverland: Elnea Kingdom, a simulation game, continues that tradition. It’s free-to-play on iOS and Android, but it’s currently unclear if that will still be the case on Switch.
Below is some additional information about WorldNeverLand, along with a trailer:

The upcoming issue of Famitsu features an article on Valkyria Chronicles 4. We will have more details once we get our hands on the full issue of the magazine tomorrow, but for now here’s what we learned from the preview of the article on Famitsu’s website (thanks to Siliconera for the translation):
First up, some details on the game’s leveling system. You don’t actually level up each character individually, but rather the classes as a whole. After you reach a certain experience threshold, you can upgrade the units belonging to that class.
This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:
Mario Party: The Top 100 (3DS) – 8/8/8/8
Phil’s Epic Fill-a-Pix Adventure (3DS) – 7/7/8/6
Mujo (Switch) – 6/7/7/7
The official Japanese Fire Emblem Warriors Twitter account has posted screenshots of the three new History Mode maps that will be part of the game’s first DLC pack launching this week. Azura’s map is based on the destroyed Hoshidan village square as seen in chapter 5 of Fire Emblem Fates, “Mother”. The other two maps are based on the ice tribe’s village and Izumo castle.
The BIU, the German games industry association, has revealed its sales awards for this past November. Super Mario Odyssey has received the platinum award, which means that it sold between 200,000 and 500,000 copies in November alone. Splatoon 2 got the gold award, meaning that it sold between 100,000 and 200,000 copies.
These are both very impressive numbers, especially since Mario Odyssey launched in October and Splatoon 2 was released all the way back in July.
