June is right around the corner, which means another set of Fire Emblem Heroes calendar wallpapers. This month, they feature Chrom and Camilla, who placed fourth in the Choose Your Legends poll before the game’s release. Next month’s wallpapers will feature Ike (Radiant Dawn) and Corrin (female).
Super Nintendo World, Nintendo’s own theme park section at Universal Studios, is still quite some time away – it is scheduled to open at Universal Studios Japan in 2020 and at Universal Studios in Orlando and Hollywood at a later date. However, thanks to some trademarks filed by Nintendo in North America, we might have some clues about what attractions to expect. Specifically, one trademark mentions “management or arrangement of kart racing” – this obviously hints at a Mario Kart-based attraction.
Of course, this is not an official confirmation just yet, although we would be surprised if a Mario Kart attraction wasn’t happening at all.

The Splatoon Twitter account has revealed another new stage element that can be found in the game’s Hero Mode. In the Japanese version, it’s called “cologalium” – what looks like five tubes stuck together. Like most things in Splatoon, if you ink them, you can use them to your advantage. In this case, inking them propels them forward, and they also leave behind a path of your ink. Depending on where you hit the tubes, you can control the trajectory at which they travel, allowing you to hit enemies that are high up. Some of the Octarians are also capable of producing cologalium and can use it to attack – but of course, you can just shoot it right back at them.
この仕掛けは「コロガリウム」。
攻撃するとその反動で勢いよく転がり、ぶつかった敵を倒すことができる。
下から角度をつけて攻撃すれば、空中に飛ばすことも可能だ。
コロガリウムを使って攻撃してくるタコ、「タコリバーサー」もいるが、タイミングよく打ち返せば反撃することもできるぞ。 pic.twitter.com/Y7c1LVT7JS— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) May 30, 2017
It seems like Pokemon Sun & Moon’s online servers are experiencing some issues at the moment. Nintendo have issued a statement that they are investigating these issues and are working to fix them. Since a Global Mission is currently underway, it’s possible that it might be extended to compensate for this downtime.
Surprisingly enough, our first proper look at Fire Emblem Warriors (after that brief trailer featuring Chrom a couple of months ago) comes not from E3, but instead from Famitsu. We only have preview images of the article in this week’s Famitsu magazine about Fire Emblem Warriors at the moment, but we can nonetheless learn a couple of things from them.
It seems like the game’s main characters, much like Fire Emblem Heroes, will be a brother and sister pair – original characters Shion and Lian. It also comes as no surprise that Marth will be playable as well.
We will have more information once we get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu tomorrow.
A new game called Lost Sphear has been revealed for the Nintendo Switch. It will be developed by Tokyo RPG Factory, of I Am Setsuna fame, and published by Square Enix. Check out the video below.
The newest summon event is now available for players to try. You now have a chance to summon the bridal versions of Lyn, Caeda and Cordelia as well as newcomer Charlotte (each at 5 stars). The summon also comes with new maps to try in the paralogue section with their own special quests to earn rewards. This event will run until June 6th.
