A few days ago, the Pokemon Global Mission hit its goal of one million trades. Now, the mission is an even bigger success, with over two million trades. This means that participants will get a Friend Ball in addition to the 2,000 Festival Coins. The mission is still ongoing, so if you still haven’t contributed and would like these prizes, you still have time to participate.
The first Special Map for Fire Emblem Heroes is live, giving players a chance to earn up to six Orbs. You can see some images of the map below.
Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk has been announced for 3DS by Arc System Works. The game will be the latest entry in the Jake Hunter detective series, and it will be released in Japan as a 30th anniversary project.
The announcement comes alongside Arc System Works acquiring the rights to the Jake Hunter IP, along with three other series: Theresia, Nazo no Jikenbo series, and Koneko no Ie. Titles in the series have rarely been released outside of Japan, so we’ll have to wait and see if this newest entry does.
At the end of last week, Monolith Soft’s Yasuyuki Honne posted the above image on his Twitter page. He said that it’s from a “wrap up party for certain game at certain hotel in Kyoto.” Honne also mentioned how he’s glad / relieved that it’s finished.
That image is likely from the Zelda: Breath of the Wild wrap up party. We know that Monolith Soft helped out with the title, and it’s just a few weeks away from launch.
It also looks like Shigeru Miyamoto was in attendance, and he was standing next to someone wearing a Link-esque hat…
One of settings found in Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s options menu is for the HUD mode. We now know that it can be switched between “Normal” and “Pro”.
YouTuber Gehab managed to grab a few seconds of off-screen footage showing the Pro mode in action. It disables some elements such as the mini-map and temperature meter, leaving you with just hearts on the screen. There might be times when players may find that the mode comes in handy, so it’s a nice little option.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. The Switch version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild makes its first appearance.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between January 19 and January 25.
