On Thursday, Fire Emblem Fates Map Pack 2 was released in North America. A bunch of footage from the DLC can be seen below.
Atlus has revealed its E3 2016 lineup through the expo’s official website. For Nintendo fans, the big one is Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, which will be at the company’s booth and will probably be making its first playable appearance in English.
The listing states:
ATLUS U.S.A., Inc. is known for high-quality, deeply immersive, uniquely Japanese and indie video game experiences. Our award-winning catalog continues to grow across a variety of genres and platforms. Visit our booth featuring highly anticipated titles from ATLUS and SEGA, including Persona 5, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and Yakuza 0.
7th Dragon III Code: VFD isn’t mentioned here, but since it’ll be out after E3, I wouldn’t be surprised if that one shows up as well.
A new month is here! We entered May last week, so that means we want to know what you’ve been playing. Have you started up something entirely new for the month? 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: This week’s big Nintendo news
Hey everyone! Don doesn’t have a new comic for the site today due to some personal things happening this week. Everyone deserves some time off anyway, right?! Well, except me anyway… haha.
Don didn’t want us to go completely empty-handed, so we do have a little something attached above. We’ll absolutely be back next week with the next part of Ted’s adventure!
We have unfortunate news to share for those those who reserved the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition from the Nintendo UK store. Emails are going out to some customers today informing them that their orders have been cancelled. In the notice, Nintendo says the product sold out on April 1, but was showing again a few days later due to a “technical error”. A £5 voucher is provided inside the email.
A new Fire Emblem Fates bundle is now up on Nintendo UK’s store here. This includes the packaged version of Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest downloadable content, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation downloadable content, a Fire Emblem Fates T-Shirt and a free pre-order only Fire Emblem Fates 3DS theme. Pricing is set at £69.99.
You can read Nintendo’s complete cancellation notice after the break.
Update (5/7): Bumped to the top. This is now down to $27.82 (as of this moment).
Original (5/5): Hyrule Warriors Legends is seeing one of its first sales through Amazon. The game started out with a $40 price point, but has now dipped by nearly $10 to around $30. Place an order here if interested.
Nintendo first gave Humble Bundle a shot last May, and returned to the service a couple of weeks ago with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. There was quite a bit of planning involved, as Humble Bundle co-founder John Graham told Nintendo Life that talks about a second promotion began right after the first one drew to a close.
He said:
“I think right after the first promotion ended, and we had seen over $750,000 come in for developers and charity across 82,000 purchases in two weeks, we began trading ideas and plans for the next promotion.”
Graham also mentioned that he hopes to see Nintendo bundles “continue to blossom into a more frequently recurring tradition.” Aside from that, he noted that his “expectations have been exceeded” with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle.
Update 3: And gone!
Update 2 (5/7): Bumped to the top. This is available again, but probably not for long.
Update: Now sold out!
Original (5/3): The Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS XL sold out at pretty much every major retail soon after launch. Now, however, it’s back up on Amazon. You can place an order here. If it sells out again, we’ll update this post.
Monster Hunter Stories was announced almost a year ago. Capcom now seems to be wrapping up its work on the game, as a release date could be coming very soon. Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said during a talk show event at Machi Asobi recently that he hopes to be able to announce news on this front by the month. He also said that it’s being made as a mainstream RPG.
Fans asked Tsujimoto about topics like Elder Dragons appearing, if we’ll be seeing new monsters in the game, and potential link features with Monster Hunter Generations. Unfortunately though, he wouldn’t divulge answers to any of these questions for now.
We have another 20 minutes of footage from the English version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. The following video shows Shibuya exploration, Chapter 1 boss fight, and Chapter 2 gameplay.
