Metroid: Samus Returns will have plenty of amiibo functionality when the game launches in September. You’ll be able to use the new Samus and Metroid figures being prepared for the game, along with the previously-released amiibo from the Smash Bros. series.
Nintendo opened the Japanese website for Samus Returns earlier today. It doesn’t have a whole lot of information currently, but the amiibo page was also updated with details on the game’s amiibo support.
Here’s the breakdown:
Zelda: Breath of the Wild was developed as an entirely single-player experience. Some fans are trying to turn that concept on its head, however.
Pictures have been shown of an upcoming mod planned for Breath of the Wild. When it’s ready, two people will be able to play the game together. Inputs will be sent through each game. As for how it all works, the mod changes the location of an NPC and swaps the model for Link.
Just don’t expect to see the mod anytime soon. It’s expected that work will take around a year for it to be playable, and in order to experience it, you’ll need to play on Wii U with the CEMU emulator.

Nintendo has launched the Japanese website for the upcoming 3DS game Metroid: Samus Returns. You can find it here. It doesn’t really contain a whole lot of new information or media, but it’s nice to look at at least.
Another summoning focus is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes, this time with a focus on heroes with the ability quick riposte. The heroes in this focus include Leo, Subaki and Klein. So if you are in need of this ability it might be time to start using some of those hard earned orbs. This focus lasts until August 4th.
Lloyd grand hero battle will also be coming back tomorrow as well so be sure to look forward to that.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. Dragon Quest XI holds steady, and Super Mario Odyssey is back in the top five.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 6 and July 12.
