This week, NIS America and YummyYummyTummy announced Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory for Switch. The action RPG lands on the console next year.
Following the news, NIS America hosted a live stream and showed off the game. You can see a ton of footage from Fallen Legion below.
A new Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Works book just arrived in Japan yesterday. It features a ton of art from the game and other goodies as well.
We have a few new pages showing what the book has to offer below:
Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Works may eventually be released in the west (and it’ll probably take a long while for that to happen). If you’d like to order a Japanese copy, you can do so on Play-Asia here.
Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura currently has two characters. Asuka is included in the main game, while Yumi can be obtained as paid DLC.
Over on his Twitter account, Senran Kagura creator Kenichiro Takaki announced a second DLC character for the game. Takaki said that Murasaki will be available by the time Senran Kagura: Burst Re:Newal hits the PlayStation 4 in February.

The latest North American Splatfest has come to an end. In this week’s event, players were asked which bad holiday gift would you rather receive: sweaters or socks.
All aspects of this Splatfest were very close. Just a few percentage points separated popularity and wins. But in the end, Team Sweater came out on top in each category and won by a score of 3-0.

Nintendo created two new Metroid amiibo tying in with Metroid: Samus Returns – the Metroid itself and a Samus figure. Both were sold in a double pack.
At this point, you can’t really find the Metroid amiibo at retailers. But that could be changing soon. An updated Children’s Product Certificate from Nintendo shows that the 2-pack saw a new run of manufacturing in November. We’ll keep an eye out on any restocks in the future.
Nintendo delivered Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s second DLC pack last week. Now that the game’s development is truly finished (at least that we know of), fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for the franchise.
As you would expect, Nintendo isn’t ready to delve into any specific plans just yet. However, Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and series producer Eiji Aonuma did talk about their mindset going forward.
While journeying through Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you may encounter dogs. They tend to be found at stables and towns.
Dogs aren’t just there to make areas more lively. You can bond with them, they’ll follow you around, and can lead you someplace special. Unfortunately, you can’t actually pet them.
Miitomo has been updated with more content. Users will find returning stages with more items.
