The latest Tempest Trials event in Fire Emblem Heroes has now started. Genealogy of Light, as the name implies, features character from Genealogy of the Holy War and will last for two weeks. The 40% bonus characters are Sigurd, Ayra, Deirdre and Tailtiu. The 20% bonus characters are Arvis, Arden, Eldigan and Lachesis.
Arden is also the main reward of this Tempest Trial, with the 4-star version being the 6,000 points reward and the 5-star version at 30,000 points. Other notable rewards include three new Sacred Seals: Brash Assault 1 (Unit automatically makes a follow-up when at HP < 30% and attacking a foe that can counter) at 12,000 points, Atk Smoke 1 (After combat, inflicts Atk -3 on foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions) at 20,000 points and Guidance 1 (If unit has 100% HP, infantry and armored allies within 2 spaces can move to a space adjacent to unit) at 40,000 points.
The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Twitter account has shared two new screenshots today, comparing the same area on the Titan Gormott during the day and at night.
As we reported previously, rhythm game Voez is getting a physical release in Japan. Among other things, this will add TV mode support, allowing the game to be played with a controller instead of just with the touchscreen. This version now has a concrete release date: January 25th, 2018. Also, the total number of downloads for the digital version now stands at 45,000, up from 40,000 last month.

Bandai Namco is continuing its trend of bringing some of its older titles to Switch. Following Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition has been announced for the console.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition, which originally came out in 2015, mashes Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series with the famous manga IP. The new Switch version will come with 42 pieces of DLC. This includes challenge episodes and costumes. Online co-op from the PlayStation versions is missing, but local two-player co-op is supported with two sets of Joy-Con or Pro Controllers.
A number of new items have been added to Miitomo. Among the selection you’ll find in the app, the following are now available:
– Rose eyepatch
– Devil’s horns
– Night robe
These items can be obtained by using Miitomo coins in Miitomo Shop.
Game Freak has a delicate balance going on at the moment. The studio is currently wrapping up Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon for 3DS. But as we found out at E3, Game Freak is also shifting towards Switch with its very first Switch project.
On the bright side, handling two big projects doesn’t seem to be an issue for the company. In an interview with GameSpot, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon producer Shigeru Ohmori noted how the latest 3DS games can be thought of “mainly as a project for our younger staff to work on and grow and develop their skills, while perhaps the more veteran, established members of the company can work on the upcoming [Switch] project.”
Ohmori explained:
Switch had its biggest firmware update this past week. Video capture for select games, data transferring, and eShop pre-loading were among the features added.
Once the update dropped, Switch owners began to notice some other additions and changes. For instance, the system now has support for USB wireless headsets.
