Nintendo released a new trailer for Snipperclips, which highlights the multiplayer aspect of the game. Give it a watch:
Update 1.2.0 is coming to Fire Emblem Heroes, and to implement it, the game will undergo maintenance, during which you won’t be able to play. The maintenance will last about 5 hours; exact times are below:
- 12 AM (April 12th) – 5 AM (April 12th) in Europe
- 7 AM (April 12th) – 12 PM (April 12th) in Japan
- 6 PM (April 11th) – 11 PM (April 11th) in the US (East Coast)
Although we don’t know for sure, it’s likely that this is the big April update that has been teased for a while now, which will add features like 99 max stamina, the ability to swap the starting positions of your units before battle, and more.
Mario Sports Superstars arrived in Japan on March 30. Through April 2, it sold a little over 30,000 copies. Dengeki notes that it had a sell through rate of only 40 percent.
How Mario Sports Superstars does in the long run remains to be seen. It could be a bit of a slow burn, with more sales coming down the line.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. Dragon Quest XI and Fire Emblem Echoes continue to lead the way on Nintendo platforms.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between March 23 and March 29.
Amazon recently updated its listings for eShop currency with what appeared to be new card designs. Until we heard that they were actually being sold in stores, we held off on posting about the news. Now we finally have that confirmation.
Retailers such as Best Buy are selling the updated eShop cards, which feature one Mario card on each. Amazon also has some extra ones, including Wario for the $70 denomination.
Here’s a good look at all of the eShop cards:
Mario Kart 8 was 4.9GB on Wii U. For the Switch version, it’s looking like the racer will be a bit bigger.
Amazon Germany added in a listing for a Switch download code. Based on information present on the image, you’ll need 6.75GB of space. This may vary a bit by region, but the file size should be right around that amount.
Thanks to Paul for the tip.
Along with World Sports Competition, Super Star Soldier also hit the North American Wii U Virtual Console on Thursday. View some footage below.
