Fire Emblem Heroes received a bunch of new content today. Azura, Inigo, Olivia, and Shigure have been added for a Performing Arts festival. Players can experience paralogue maps, quests, and log-in bonuses. Check out some footage of the updates below.
8Bitdo has two new controllers in the pipeline for the Super NES Classic Edition. They come in two variants: SNES and Super Famicom.
Both controllers feature 2.4G wireless technology and a rechargeable lithium ion battery built in. 8Bitdo says it’s the “highest quality retro controller available, designed with attention and care”. You’ll receive the controller, 2.4G receive, and a USB cable with a purchase.
These controllers ship in December. You can pre-order the SNES design here and the Super Famicom version here.
Darkest Dungeon appears to be making its way to Switch, judging off of a new video posted on the official Twitter account. Red Hook Studios posted a clip that seems to show its game running on Nintendo’s console.
Here’s the brief clip in question:

Darkest Dungeon, a roguelike turn-based RPG, originally came out last year and has been very well received. We have some additional information and a trailer below.
Some maintenance on the Nintendo network is taking place next week during some of the first days of October. The maintenance will effect signing in to Nintendo Network IDs on the 3DS, Wii U, and computer web browser.
The schedule is as follows:
– 1 PM PT (October 2) – 7 PM PT (October 2)
– 4 PM ET (October 2) – 10 PM ET (October 2)
– 9 PM in the UK (October 2) – 3 AM in the UK (October 3)
– 10 PM in Europe (October 2) – 4 AM in Europe (October 3)
One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition is available on Switch today. It’s being sold both physically and digitally in Europe, but only as an eShop download in North America. Check out the game’s launch trailer below.
If you’ve purchased the SNES Classic Edition in Europe, you should find a slip inside with a code for 300 Platinum Points that can be added to your My Nintendo account. As far as we know, this isn’t included in the North American version. Last year’s NES Classic Edition did come with 300 Platinum Points of its own
A pair of Metroid: Samus Returns wallpapers are available on My Nintendo Europe. Both are pictured above, and cost 50 Platinum Points each. They’ll be on My Nintendo until March 1.
The two wallpapers can be ordered here. Nintendo added them to the North American site a little while back, and can be redeemed on the same page.
Nintendo has published a new European launch trailer for the Super NES Classic Edition, which is out today. Have a look at the video below.
FIFA 18 does offer online play on Switch. Unfortunately though, the game has a huge omission. As the game is now, you have absolutely no way of playing with friends online. The only way you can run into a friend is through random chance.
EA patching FIFA 18 to support the feature may not be entirely off the table. But as the game stands now, that is a significant feature to be lacking.
Other elements missing from the Switch version of FIFA 18 compared to its console counterparts can be found here.
Mebius and Shannon have announced a new horror visual novel for Switch known as “Okuriinu”. It’s planned for a release this year in Japan as an eShop download.
Okuriinu is based on a 34-page short story by writer and game designer Takiya Iijima, which also goes by the same name. Iijima has created new scenarios for the game.
You can view the announcement trailer for Okuriinu below.
