A list has been published showing how many games each major gaming platform has on display at the Tokyo Game Show this year. Switch is included, and it looks like the console has a pretty good showing.
46 different Switch games can be found at TGS. As the system’s first year, that isn’t too shabby. Indie games and other smaller eShop titles are definitely a factor, but those types of projects shouldn’t be ignored.
We’re also able to see that 3DS representation is down heavily from 36 games in 2016 to just 9 this year. Wii U has also gone down from 13 to 3, though that’s hardly surprising.
During today’s live stream for Fire Emblem Warriors, Koei Tecmo debuted a new piece of art. Fans quickly noticed that Anna was included in the promo piece. You would think that she’s confirmed for Fire Emblem Warriors, though nothing has been said officially at this time. More news will be shared for the title at Tokyo Game Show throughout the rest of the week, so perhaps Koei Tecmo will make an official announcement over the next few days.
Capcom has released a trailer for the next big update for Monster Hunter Stories, which will bring the game to version 1.3. Highlights include new Monsties to fight, being able to challenge the Black Riders, as well as new character customization options that will allow you to re-create the characters from the Monster Hunter Stories anime. The update will be available in Japan sometime this Winter; it’s unclear at the moment if and when this update will be available for the Western version of the game as well.
We are now mere hours away from the release of Pokken Tournament DX. Why not shorten the wait by watching this trailer focused on Weavile:
We recently learned about the physical version of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, titled the Ultimate Edition. XSEED Games is publishing it in North America – and today we learned that PQube will be doing the same in Europe. Naturally, all the features from the North American release will also be present here, such as the Pirate Queen’s Quest and the Friends Mode and Costumes Mode. The targeted release date is 2018.
There are some new Special Maps now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. The 5 new maps called “Warriors,” are a tie in event for Fire Emblem Warriors and feature inspired backgrounds and music straight from the game. Beating each individual map will earn you some orbs. There are also new Special Quests tied in for this event as well.
The “Warriors” maps and quests will be available until October 26th.
