Star Fox Guard has received a new update. After downloading the patch, your game should be bumped up to version 20160428. Nintendo has adjusted the values for calculating the number of bots/rank in the squad.
A second wave of Fire Emblem Fates downloadable content is coming to North America starting next week, Nintendo has announced. Players can get their hands on DLC from Map Pack 2 starting May 5.
Nintendo has provided the following overview of the upcoming DLC:
Unlike the contents of Map Pack 1, the stages included in Map Pack 2 tell an ongoing story. Across dimensions, other versions of the Hoshidan and Nohrian children are under attack. Born and raised in the Deeprealms, these fledgling warriors must now rise up to save themselves and their parents as they unravel the mystery of their adversaries. In this six-map series, units leveled up in the main game cannot lend support. Players must devise a strategy using a fresh team to reap the rewards, but only if all units survive.
Here’s the full schedule:
May 5-June 9 – Map Pack 2 ($7.99)
May 5 – I: In Endless Dreams (49 cents)
May 12 – II: Realms Collide ($1.99)
May 19 – III: The Changing Tide ($1.99)
May 26 – IV: Light’s Sacrifice ($1.99)
June 2 – V: Endless Dawn ($1.99)
June 9 – End: Lost in the Waves ($1.99)
And some screenshots:
Note that even players who have purchased I: In Endless Dreams can still pick up Map Pack 2 to receive a discount when compared to buying the subsequent maps individually. Map Pack 2 content is priced at more than $10 when purchased individually.
As a bonus, those who already own Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright or Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest can download Another Gift from Anna for free on May 5.

Yo-Kai Watch will finally be released in Europe tomorrow – the game has been out in all other territories for a while. To further promote the title, Nintendo have published two new trailers, one about the game’s theme song and another more general trailer. Check them out below:
The Pokemon Company has just released a new trailer for Pokemon Comaster, the currently Japan-only figure battling game for mobile phones. Give it a watch:
Koei Tecmo has confirmed that they are developing for the NX. The company did not state what exactly they are working on, though. Koei Tecmo has recently developed several titles for Nintendo systems, such as Hyrule Warriors and Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.
The new screenshots from Ace Attorney 6 showed off a few features of the game that Capcom has now detailed: Bracelet Power and Detective Memo.
Bracelet Power is a returning feature that lets Apollo (and the player) pick up on tiny details that might mean a suspect is lying or hiding information. The bracelet will react whenever there is some suspicious about an opponent’s dialogue, at which point the player can tap the lower screen to put the testimony in slow-motion and try and get the truth. Detective Memo, meanwhile, is a feature that lets players see what their current goals are, ideally for players who left the game for some time and forgot what to do.
Capcom has sent out a handful of new Ace Attorney 6 screenshots. Find today’s images in the gallery below.
