Nintendo apologizes for situation surrounding censored Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, will let fans cancel pre-orders
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo caused a stir – particularly in Japan – after fans discovered that Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE will be based on the western version of the Wii U original. That edition had a number of changes and cuts. Fans became aware of the situation after Nintendo swapped out screenshots on the Japanese website and then attached a very brief notice.
Following the response, Nintendo has posted an official apology. The company said that the Wii U screenshot was an error, and was updated with a Switch screenshot later on as a result.

When Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE launched in the west, some changes were made. Character outfits, story elements, and even characters’ ages were all impacted and modified from the Japanese release. Additionally, the “To the Secret Hot Springs GO!” DLC video promotions were removed.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore will be coming to Switch in January, and it seems that those changes made for the overseas edition in the Wii U original are carrying over to the Switch version worldwide. A notice on the Japanese website states:
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore: two new costumes spotted, DLC outfits from the Wii U version may be included in the base game

One of the surprise announcements of the latest Nintendo Direct was Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced port of the JRPG collaboration between Atlus and Intelligent Systems that originally released on the Wii U. In addition to major new content like a new song and a new dungeon, the Encore version also has a few other additions, namely some new costumes. The following were all initially spotted by Twitter user @theprinceofiris. First up, a brand new costume for Mamori can be seen in a screenshot on the official Japanese website of the game, which shows her wearing a student outfit from the Officers Academy in Fire Emblem: Three Houses (see above).
Next up, Tiki gets a new outfit based on her classic appearance in the very first Fire Emblem game. In the Wii U version, Tiki only appeared in battle as part of some special moves, but she seems to be a permanent party member now, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see this new outfit:

Earlier this year, an HD remaster of FuRyu’s 3DS game The Alliance Alive was announced. Today, the latest issue of Weekly Jump magazine revealed the game’s Japanese release date: October 10. Previously, it’s been announced that the Western version will be released “this fall”, so a simultaneous worldwide release certainly seems possible, but hasn’t been confirmed yet. We will keep you updated once the game’s release date in the West has been announced.
Atlus says it doesn’t currently have plans to release Persona 5 Royal on other platforms
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Persona 5 for Switch has been a long-running rumor. It was something that was partially spurred on by fan interest as well as Joker’s appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a DLC character. However, there has yet to be anything official from Atlus.
On that note, Atlus has ruled out bringing Persona 5 Royal – a new version of the original RPG with additional content – to additional platforms (like Switch). That comes straight from a new FAQ published on the company’s website today.
Persona 5 doesn’t appear to be happening on Switch as of now, but the musou spinoff Persona 5 Scramble is planned for the system. Persona Q2 also released in the west on 3DS this week, featuring characters from Persona 5.
