Dataminers have poked through the latest Fire Emblem Heroes update and once again found out about some upcoming content. First of all, as we correctly predicted, the next Grand Hero Battle will feature Ursula from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. An upcoming focus banner was also datamined; if the previous one is any indication, this focus will be available during Ursula’s Grand Hero Battle. The 5-star Heroes featured on this focus are Nino, Felicia, Setsuna and Effie.
Nintendo has released a trailer showing off the newest Fire Emblem Heroes characters, from the Sibling Bonds event. You can watch it below:

It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch is now in the top five, Splatoon 2 and Fire Emblem Echoes move up several spots, and Dragon Quest XI for Switch plus Xenoblade Chronicles 2 make their first appearances.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 2 and February 8.
Arc System Works has two games lined up for the Japanese Switch eShop launch. On March 3, the company will release Othello and Frontier Days. Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream provides an early look at both in this month’s issue.
In Othello, you can battle against 16 different levels of CPU opponents. You can also take advantage of wait / undo and hint functions. Of course, two players are supported as well. Othello will cost 500 yen on Switch.
Arc System Works’ other Switch title is New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers. Nintendo Dream doesn’t say much, but confirms that more modes are included compared to the 3DS version and it features HD visuals. A price point is not listed.
New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers should be coming west, and perhaps sooner rather than later. Arc System Works already has a teaser site open here.
The latest episode from the “Teens React” series has various people sharing their thoughts about Switch while watching various trailers, including games. The system itself, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Super Mario Odyssey are featured. Check out the full video below.
Just a Chat finally returns after a very lengthy hiatus. What better time to bring it back now that we have access to the final Switch hardware and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
It wouldn’t be a return without some audio issues! I ended up having some problems, but fortunately it didn’t affect the discussion much since Dennis did most of the talking. After all, Dennis has been the one playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild a ton over the past few days!
