Troll and I’s initial launch is taking place today, so Maximum Games is coming out with a new trailer for the game. The Switch release will take place “soon”. For now, view the video below.
Corrin is among the Smash Bros. amiibo we’re still waiting on. Despite the silence surrounding the figure, it’s still on the way. Nintendo briefly mentioned it in today’s announcement for the Fire Emblem Echoes Limited Edition. Corrin, along with other Fire Emblem amiibo from the Smash Bros. series, can be used to summon an illusory hero of that character.
Corrin was one of the final characters added to Smash Bros. Wii U / 3DS. Cloud and Bayonetta amiibo have not yet released as well.
While Switch was in early development, Nintendo reached out to Cyanogen about a partnership. According to former Cyanogen CEO Kirt McMaster, the two sides would have worked together on a custom-made OS, which would have been based around Android. Nothing ever materialized as McMaster told Nintendo to “stick it.”
McMaster wrote on Twitter:
@romainguy @dnaltews @rebelleader In the early days of cyanogen Nintendo wanted us to create an os for a certain portable. I told them to stick it.

McMaster added that Switch mostly uses a custom kernel. However, it does contain “bits of Android” as well.
As is the case in North America, Nintendo is planning a Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition for its European audience. A video showing its contents can be found below.
The Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition is mostly the same in North America and Europe. Both versions have a copy of the game, artbook, Sound Selection CD, Pin Set, and reversible cover sheet. In Europe though, the two new amiibo are included.
We first found out about Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology – a remake of Atlus’ 2010 DS RPG – a few hours ago. First details have now leaked from Famitsu.
On 3DS, this new version has enhanced graphics, beautiful visuals inserted for event scenes, and the ability to change the difficulty level. A-1 Pictures produced the opening animation. Players can also choose from two modes when they first begin:
– Perfect Mode: newly added Sub-History in addition to the Standard History and Alternate History of the original title right from the beginning of the game
– Append Mode: start with Standard History and Alternate History, and after clearing those, you can move on to the new Sub-History. Difficulty level can also be changed.
This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:
Musou Stars (PS4/PSV) – 9/9/9/8
Blue Reflection (PS4/PSV) – 8/9/8/7
KLAP!! Kind Love And Punish: Fun Party (PSV) – 8/8/8/8

Original: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is receiving a Limited Edition Bundle in North America, Nintendo has announced. Along with a copy of the game, it includes a hardcover Valentia Artbook, Sound Selection CD, Pin Set depicting characters Alm, Celica and Marth, and and a reversible cover sheet that looks like the packaging for the original Famicom game this new one is based on.
The Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition bundle will be sold at select retailers for $59.99. It will be available on May 19.
Nintendo shared the following overview for Fire Emblem Echoes today, which also contains official English details about amiibo support:
It’s been 26 years since Street Fighter II: The World Warrior originally launched, but one player – going by the name Desk – has managed to find some new combos in the game.
Desk takes the game’s Vega restand glitch to a new level. He’s basically discovered that you can continue to hit Vega (Claw) when he has been knocked down by a sweep. The glitch itself isn’t new, but Desk found an original way of working with it and pushed its limits.
Here’s a look:
