A special event is beginning in Fire Emblem Heroes. Between June 30 and August 1, players can obtain new heroes in swimsuit outfits. A new paralogue story has been added as well.
Here’s the trailer for the new event:
Jordan Amaro previously worked at the likes of Capcom and Kojima Productions. Between both companies, he worked on Resident Evil 7, Metal Gear Solid V, and the cancelled P.T. as a level designer.
News is spreading that Amaro has joined Nintendo, which seems to have taken place earlier this year. He’s with Nintendo EPD’s Kyoto section. As for what he’s contributing to, Amaro is involved with design on what could be an unannounced Switch game or Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s DLC.
Nintendo has previously sold amiibo as standalone figures, in 2-packs, and even 3-packs. The expansion continues with a new 4-pack for Japan.
Nintendo’s Japanese store has started reservations for the Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo. Consumers have the option to pre-order the new 4-pack pictured above, containing Urbosa, Revali, Mipha, and Daruk. Pricing is set at 6,480 yen.
Implosion – Never Lose Hope is heading to the Switch eShop in Japan next week, and likely the west soon as well. We’ve posted a trailer for the game below.
Hot on the heels of Pokemon GO’s recent update that added new Gym features and Raid Battles, Niantic is rolling out another update for the mobile game. On iOS, the new version will be 1.37.2. For Android players Pokemon GO is being updated to version 0.67.2.
Unsurprisingly, this new update is much smaller in nature than the previous one. Niantic is only implementing bug fixes this time around.

Steep was one of the first games Ubisoft announced for Switch. Yet oddly, we’ve barely heard a peep about it since the original announcement back in January. IGN France claims to have some insight into the situation.
IGN notes that Ubisoft has encountered difficulties having Steep run on Switch. Development continues however, and Nintendo is apparently lending its assistance, including the game’s online features. One of IGN’s sources does caution that it can’t promise a release on Switch.
For its part, Ubisoft says that Steep is still coming to Switch, but has no extra information to provide.
