Today’s ARMS Twitter update is fairly unremarkable, but worth checking out if you’re a fan of Mechanica. As it turns out, Mechanica’s workshop can actually be found on the recently revealed Scarp Yard stage.
In that workshop, you can find blueprints of the exoskeleton that Mechanica is using, alongside various other models and prototypes:
Hot on the heels of the game’s announcement last week, we now have the first trailer for One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition. The trailer gives a nice overview of the game’s world and gameplay mechanics. Check it out:
Nintendo has released a new Japanese television commercial for the Switch. The ad puts the focus on multiplayer games that were released recently or will be released shortly, like Minecraft, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Bomberman R and Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers.
Nintendo has been in the mobile game market for a while now and has released several games, with more on the way. According to the Wall Street Journal, one of Nintendo’s next mobile games will be one based on The Legend of Zelda. Supposedly, “people familiar with the matter” said that a Zelda mobile game would be released sometime after the Animal Crossing mobile game, which is apparently being released in the latter half of 2017, although the release timing and release order could still change. Neither Nintendo nor DeNA commented on the matter.
That’s not all, though – according to the Wall Street Journal, The Pokemon Company is planning to release a new Pokemon Trading Card Game app on mobile devices. This is peculiar since a Pokemon TCG app already exists and can be played on mobile games – Pokemon TCG Online has been around for a while and is still supported to this day.
As always, takes rumors like this with a grain of salt. While the WSJ is usually fairly reliable when it comes to their sources and a Zelda mobile game isn’t exactly a far-fetched idea, this is far from an official confirmation. Thankfully, E3 is right around the corner, so we might hear more about either of these rumored games in a couple of weeks.
The second part of the Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia tie-in event is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. A summoning focus with Celica, Mae, Boey and Genny as the 5-star focus units will be available until May 30th. In addition to that, chapter 11 of the main story, Rite of Shadows, has been added, as well as quests that require you to complete these missions under special conditions.
