Nintendo prepared a new Fire Emblem Heroes trailer today showcasing some of the characters included in its mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes. View it below.
Evo 2017 has announced its lineup for this year’s tournament, which includes the return of two popular Nintendo games. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Smash Bros. Melee will both be represented. The news was shared during a live stream event on Twitch just a short while ago. Super Smash Bros. Melee has been a mainstay at Evo, and Smash Bros. for Wii U has been featured since its release.
The one Nintendo game not officially returning from last year is Pokken Tournament. However, a vote will be held to determine the last game at Evo, and that title is nominated – along with Arms, the brand new Switch game from Nintendo.
Voting will be done through donations on the website Generosity. If you’d like to participate, you can do so here.
Nintendo sent out a demo for the BoxBoy! series on the Japanese 3DS eShop today, including a taste of Goodbye! BoxBoy! (launching next week). Check out some footage below.
Psyonix, the developer of Rocket League, has expressed interest in Switch. However, the team isn’t committing to the console just yet.
A note from Psyonix reads passed along by reader Matthew M reads:
“We are excited as you are regarding the release of Nintendo Switch however, we don’t have enough information at this time if it will happen. For the mean time, let’s both keep our fingers crossed that it will. For all the latest information on upcoming releases, updates, and other news, please visit the Rocket League Facebook page or follow us on Twitter!”
This actually isn’t the first time Psyonix has spoken about its interest in Switch. They did so when it was known as NX as well.
A few new 3DS themes are out now in Japan. Here’s the lineup:
Kunio-kun theme – 100 yen
12-Sai ~Love Diary~ (x3) – 200 yen each or 500 yen for the set

The 3DS version of Elliot Quest has taken longer than expected. It was originally planned for last year, but it sort of fell off the map since the original announcement. However, a tweet from creator Luis Zuno confirms that it’s still happening.
Zuno shared a brief look at Elliot Quest running on 3DS earlier today. Additionally, he says it’s releasing “very soon.”
The full tweet is as follows:
