Tomorrow Corporation recently announced that World of Goo, Little Inferno, and Human Resource Machine will be ready for Switch’s launch on March 3. Just in case you had any doubts, Europe is getting all three games on the same day. It’ll be a simultaneous release.

Tomorrow Corporation also said that its games work with all three Switch modes. That means you’ll be able to play the titles on your television (or any other way you see fit).

The Japanese website for Breath of the Wild has updated with some new footage of the game. Visiting the page will play it automatically, and you can see some more scenes of Zelda and some familiar sights for Zelda fans.

Fire Emblem Heroes has given a tease of an upcoming Grand Hero battle. The fight against a mystery enemy will begin on February 10 at 2 AM (EST), and will run until February 14 at 2 AM (EST). Though the enemy is hidden, it seems likely that it is Narcian, a Wyvern General who was featured in the Fire Emblem Direct.

With 1-2 Switch and the Switch console’s release drawing near, an official website for 1-2 Switch has gone live in Japan. The site confirms that the game will feature 28 different games, and it has demonstration videos for 18 of them. All of these can be viewed after the break:

The Fire Emblem Heroes “Choose your Legends” vote wrapped up last week. Since then, fans have been wondering when we’ll be hearing about the results. It won’t be much longer, thankfully.

Nintendo said on the Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account that the results will be shared on Thursday. It’s Wednesday already in Japan, so we can basically expect to hear something within the next day or so.

Plenty of Fire Emblem aficionados participated in the vote. Nintendo said last Wednesday that 1.2 million votes were recorded.

Earlier tonight, a Japanese Switch hardware overview video was shared online. Nintendo has now published the English equivalent, which you can watch below.

A number of new 3DS themes arrived in Japan today, including ones based on Yuri on Ice. Check out the full set in the video below.

Best Buy is again taking pre-orders for the Switch Pro Controller. The retailer’s product page is here. Best Buy has already sold out of these a couple of times, so we’ll have to see how long this lasts.

Just before Fire Emblem Heroes’ launch, Nintendo held a special vote on the game’s website. Fans were tasked with voting on characters they’d like to see in the game. If you participated and logged in as a My Nintendo member, you would be entitled to some free points.

Those points are now starting to go out. Nintendo is sending out emails confirming that 200 Platinum Points are being sent to users’ accounts. If you visit this page, you can verify that they’ve been properly added.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
