Four Horses put out a new 3DS-specific trailer for its autorunner Four Horses. The game, which is also planned for Switch, will release later this year. See the new trailer below.
Rain Games created the well-received Teslagrad on Wii U. This year, the studio also wrapped up World to the West, a title set in the same universe that should also be on the console soon.
Following up on those two games, Rain Games intends to create a third title set in the same universe. Naturally, with things in such as early state (it’s unclear if development has even started just yet), there’s nothing in the way of information for now. However, a release on Nintendo platforms is very likely given Rain Games’ previous support.
Nintendo sent out Fire Emblem Heroes version 1.5.0 this week. It was a significant update, adding Chain Challenge and Squad Assault modes in Story Maps.
Whenever an update comes out, fans usually pick through the files and get busy with datamining. For the new Fire Emblem Heroes update, this was no different.
Among what was found is that Tobin is coming to Fire Emblem Heroes. Early speculation points to the character being a sword user. Aside from Tobin, fans have found more log-in bonuses, Yamada Kotaro quests, chapter 12, Berkut’s map planned for the final Tempest Trial map, new Sacred Seals, and a Bound Hero Battle Map.
Here’s a further roundup of data mined content from HAPPYSADPERSONCordelia and chipchocolat:
Kirby’s Blowout Blast launched on the 3DS eShop this week. On Miiverse, HAL Laboratory’s Satoshi Ishida passed along a special message from Tatsuya Kamiyama, the game’s director.
One notable thing Kamiyama mentioned is that the action fighting Kirby title announced for 3DS earlier this year is still coming this winter. We’ve yet to see anything from the game since the original announcement, nor has Nintendo really mentioned it again.
Continue on below for Kamiyama’s full message.
New Dragon Quest XI footage was shown at the latest “Countdown Carnival” event in Japan today. Take a look at the full recording below.

GamesIndustry notes that “you could sell under 5,000 units to break the Top 50 this week, and you only needed a little more than 21,000 copies sold to reach the Top Ten.” Also, Switch accounted for 5.7 percent of games sold last month. With the system’s small install base, that number does make sense.
Earlier this year, Farming Simulator was confirmed to be heading to Switch. Nothing was said about the project at the time, however.
A rating for Farming Simulator 17: Nintendo Switch Edition has now popped up in Australia. Although no such title has been officially announced yet, this is the game Nintendo’s console appears to be getting.
Assuming the classification is accurate, it is a bit odd that Switch would be getting Farming Simulator 17 rather than Farming Simulator 18. On 3DS, Farming Simulator 18 released last month.
We’ll be on the lookout for additional news about Farming Simulator 17: Nintendo Switch Edition.
First 4 Figures has announced a new partnership with SEGA and PlatinumGames that will see the company produce original Bayonetta Collectibles.
Unfortunately, specifics have not been revealed at this time. It’s unclear what sort of figures are in the pipeline, as no images have been released.
For now, we only have this teaser:
French website Gamekult recently published a new interview with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 director Tetsuya Takahashi. Unlike some of the interviews coming out of E3, this one is almost entirely focused on the game itself. Takahashi commented on the visual style and approach to character design, exploration, multiplayer, side quests, and much more. He also commented on the Baten Kaitos DS project that never came to be, though he didn’t have much to say.
We’ve prepared a full translation of Gamekult’s interview. Continue on below to see what Takahashi had to say about all things Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
