As an avid Fire Emblem fan, I have a lot of respect for how far the series has come, especially considering that Awakening was supposed to be the final entry. It’s clear that the new direction for these games clicked very well with western players, breathing new life into a tired chain of tactical RPGs. If essentially “waifu-ing” Fire Emblem up and making the games overall easier to play meant I could still get my Fire Emblem fix every other year, then so be it. However, with Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentina, the developers decided to draw the series back to its roots by remaking the Japan-exclusive Famicom game Fire Emblem Gaiden.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have received a new update. Version 1.2 is out now, and is required to play online.
The new patch addresses these issues:
• Pokémon being unable to attack and switch when Sky Drop is used and when knocked out by damage done by Spiky Shield.
• A glitch in Poké Pelago when entering a new month.
• A rare case where the game ends after using an Evolution item as the last item in your Bag.
• Scatterbug sometimes not learning Egg Moves.
• Eggs sometimes being able to be given items.
• A glitch ending the tournament when pre-registered for an online Friendly Competition (e.g. entry gets canceled or the Battle Teams get unlocked).
Note: after version 1.2 has been installed, any Battle Videos saved prior to the update cannot be played or shared.
Spelunky has reached a number of platforms since its initial debut many years ago. Fans are now showing interest in a Switch port, which creator Derek Yu acknowledged on Twitter.
Yu isn’t ready to move forward with a Switch version of Spelunky just yet. However, he did say that definitely wants to have a game on the platform.
