Nintendo announced a new Fire Emblem game for Switch a few months ago. We’ve yet to see a single image from the game, but it’ll apparently be worth the wait. Nintendo’s Kenta Nakanishi told USgamer in a new interview that “it’s going to be looking beautiful with great graphics”.
That’s not the only thing Nakanishi recently said about the project. This past weekend, we reported him noting that Switch “should be able to offer a completely different Fire Emblem, breathing life into our characters like never before.”
Some long awaited content finally appears to be heading to Pokemon GO this summer. In an interview with Brazilian newspaper O Globo, Niantic VP of Strategic Partnerships Mathieu de Fayet indicated that the game will be updated with Legendary Pokemon as well as player-versus-player battles.
Fayet’s statement is translated as follows:
“Because of the huge success, we had to delay some planned news. Now, we are working in announcing new updates for this summer (Northern Hemisphere), like giving more value to the choice of teams, launching Legendary Pokémon and battles between the players. One thing which we learned with ‘Ingress’ is that the game sustains itself if we are capable to create social interactions between the trainers, and we are working on that.”
Although not an official confirmation, things are definitely looking good hear. Niantic did also recently teased that this summer would be “legendary”.
Despite it only being a demo, a new update is going out for the ARMS Global Testpunch. Nintendo is now distributing version 1.1.0.
According to the official Twitter page, the update paves the way for the new content being added to the ARMS Global Testpunch this weekend. Players will be able to play in Hoops and Skillshot, as well as the new Ramen Bowl stage.
Thanks to Cameron for the tip.
