Nintendo Everything

Prior to the release of Fire Emblem Heroes, the “Choose your Legends” event was held where people could vote on their favorite Fire Emblem characters from across the franchise. Ike, Roy, Lyn and Lucina were the top ranking characters, which means they will be added to the game wearing special outfits. When this is going to happen was still unclear though – until today. Thanks to the Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account, we at least have a rough idea when these characters will be added to the game, namely this Summer. Also included in this tweet was a brief voice clip of Ike:

Square Enix uploaded a brand new trailer for its Switch game Minna de Waiwai! Spelunker, along with a commercial. Both videos are attached below.

Alpha Mission II is the latest addition in the ACA NeoGeo series on Switch. Take a look at some footage of the classic download below.

Flyhigh Works put out a first teaser for its upcoming Switch project Kamiko. Have a look at the video below.

Last month, Billings Farm and Museum challenged Nintendo to learn to milk a real cow and played against them in 1-2-Switch’s Milk mini-game. An official video of the event is now live, which you can watch below.

Update (4/5): Now discounted by $7.23 on Amazon. If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically get the lower price.

Original (4/3): An Amazon listing for a book titled “Shovel Knight: Official Design Works” has gone up with a price of $39.99. This should be one of a few books Udon Entertainment announced in 2015.

The product description is as follows:

Shovel Knight is a sweeping classic action adventure game with awesome gameplay, memorable characters, and an 8-bit retro aesthetic created by Yacht Club Games.

Shovel Knight: Official Design Works collects the fun and original artwork behind this landmark title. Inside you’ll find key art, character concepts, enemy designs, sprite sheets, unused ideas, and an all-new Shovel Knight tribute art gallery! This epic tome is also packed with creator commentary, as well as exclusive interview with the Yacht Club Games team.

It appears to be 184 pages long, and is slated to be releasing later this year on August 29th according to the listing. There’s been no official announcement or comment from Yacht Club Games about this as of yet. You can see the page for yourself here.

Update 3: Pre-orders are closed off again, likely to correct the error.

Update 2: Back up for pre-order on Amazon here. The main price error has been fixed, as it’s now $40. However, if you have Prime, the error is still there, and you can save $16 (thanks Steven L). This will likely be addressed soon.

Update: Amazon has closed off pre-orders, unsurprisingly.

Original: Amazon now has the Switch version of Rime up for pre-order. We heard that this version of the game will be $40, but the retailer is currently offering it for $30. It’s undoubtedly a price error and one that will be fixed soon, but for now you can save $10 here.
