The Rapid Blaster Pro is out now in Splatoon 2 as the game’s newest multiplayer weapon. See it in action below with some footage.
Attack on Titan 2 is coming to Switch, Koei Tecmo has announced. The news was shared during an event at the Tokyo Game Show. Along with Switch, Koei Tecmo will be releasing the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam.
We won’t have to wait on a localization announcement for this one, thankfully. The game was already confirmed for North America and Europe earlier in the year when the original reveal took place. Switch isn’t officially set for the west since today’s news was only just shared for Japan, but given how the major games for the platform are being localized thus far (Atelier, Nights of Azure 2), we expect Koei Tecmo to have an update for the west soon.
Here’s the original teaser for Attack on Titan 2:
Attack on Titan 2 will release in early 2018.
Atlus has published the opening animation that will be included in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. View the video below.
Koei Tecmo released the first Japanese commercial for Fire Emblem Warriors. Check it out below.
By the way, Koei Tecmo also uploaded a new version of the Fire Emblem Warriors TGS trailer. It’s basically the same as the previous version, but with appearances from Tiki and Caeda.
At the Tokyo Game Show this week, Koei Tecmo revealed Celica as a new playable character for Fire Emblem Warriors. That isn’t the only new character announced at the expo, however.
Two more characters are confirmed. Both Tiki and Caeda are both joining Fire Emblem Warriors.
Caeda was technically known previously due to a leak from the new Nintendo Direct trailer. Tiki was also hinted at from a boxart leak. However, it’s the first time Koei Tecmo is confirming both characters for the game officially.
You can see the first gameplay of Tiki and Caeda below.
It was revealed earlier today that a major update is on the way to Super Mario Run. On September 29, Nintendo is adding a Remix 10 mode, new playable character Daisy, World Star, and the ability to play your own music. The full details are here.
Meanwhile, Nintendo has sent out the first screenshots of the Super Mario Run update. We’ve included them below.
Nintendo is launching Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions on October 6. For those who want to prepare for the release digitally, the pre-load option has gone live on the eShop. You’ll need 4,389 blocks / 548.625MB of free space.
Pre-loading allows users to buy game in advance and download most of the required data. Nintendo will then issue an update on release day, allowing fans to begin playing almost immediately.
