Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia was reviewed in this week’s Famitsu. Among four editors, the game earned scores of “9”, “9”, “10”, and “9”. The total was 37 out of 40, the highest review for a Fire Emblem entry in Famitsu.
Kantopia has taken the time to translate the new Fire Emblem Echoes review in full. Here’s a look as to how the different editors felt about the game:
Nintendo highlighted Hamster’s Arcade Archives series during the latest Nintendo Direct. King of Fighters ’99, Galaxy Fight, and Shock Troopers 2nd Squad were among the confirmed games.
However, two were left out from the Japanese presentation. Last Resort and the first Sengoku should be heading to Switch at some point. It’s unclear why the overseas Nintendo Direct lacked these games, but it’s probably not something we should be too worried about.
During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, Level-5 shared some news about Lady Layton.
To begin, the game is now known as Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaire’s Conspiracy. The official logo is above.
Other than that, Level-5 updated the game’s website. Access it here.
Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaire’s Conspiracy launches on July 20 in Japan.
Thanks to Kyrio for the tip.
GameStop has opened pre-orders for all of the new amiibo announced yesterday. Reserve them here.
We should note that two amiibo are confirmed as GameStop exclusives. Cloud (Player 2) and Twilight Princess Link will only be sold at the retailer.
One last note: pre-orders for the Neon Yellow Joy-Con are also live on GameStop here.
