Since there was so much to talk about in January, we didn’t really have a chance to dedicate a Let’s Talk topic to the games everyone is actually playing. So now we want to know: what has your attention right now? Have you started up something new recently? Or maybe you’re continuing something you started a little while back? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below!
Highlights from last week’s topic: Fire Emblem Heroes impressions
If you listen closely to the sounds and music playing in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you might be able to hear a classic tune. Fans have discovered that a certain theme plays while you’re out exploring Hyrule Field. It’s subtle though, so it might not be entirely easy to detect.
Nintendo has revealed the first English screenshots from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Have a look at the full set below.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.
4Gamer posted its own interview with Arms producer Kosuke Yabuki yesterday. Most of the content rehashes what we covered extensively in Famitsu’s interview last week, but there are a few extra tidbits here.
First, Yabuki said that you’ll initially be able to choose from three arms in the final version of the game just like the demo. He hopes players will look forward to how this changes later.
Yabuki was also asked if players will be able to obtain new arms by defeating enemies. To this, he said that he can’t say yet, but would like to propose something that meets expectations.
Nintendo introduced Splatoon 2’s new Private Battle Spectator View last night. Since then, a video has been published showing the feature in-depth. See it below.
Nintendo’s two Switch games now have download codes on Amazon UK. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and 1-2-Switch can both be “pre-ordered”.
We should point out that the digital versions cost more than the physical releases on Amazon UK. Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s boxed version is £49.99, but a digital copy is going for £59.99. 1-2-Switch is also higher at £39.99 as opposed to £34.99.
In case you’re wondering, Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Wii U also now has a download code option on Amazon UK.
Fire Emblem 0’s latest live stream is now finished. During the event, plenty of cards were shown from the next two upcoming series (series 8 and 9).
Here’s the full rundown of the event from Serenes Forest’s Kirie:
Fire Emblem 0 series 8 kicks off in Japan on March 17. Series 9 debuts on June 22.
The latest regular live stream was held for Fire Emblem 0 just a short while ago. Plenty of announcements were shared about the trading card game, but there was also some surprise news pertaining to Fire Emblem Heroes.
Seliph and Julia from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War are joining Fire Emblem Heroes. Additionally, Ephraim and Eirika from The Sacred Stones are on the way.
Director Shingo Matsushita stopped by the stream to make the announcement. Unfortunately, a specific date for the new characters wasn’t announced, but you can expect to see them soon.
Dark Horse has come out with a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts to promote the book’s arrival later this month. Have a look at the video below.
