Winning Post 8 2017 launches on Switch alongside Champion Jockey Special on September 14; share save data
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Koei Tecmo has announced that, in addition to Champion Jockey Special, the horse racing simulation game Winning Post 8 2017 will also be released on September 14 on the Nintendo Switch. The interesting part is that you can share save data between both games – for example, you can use a horse you raised in Champion Jockey Special as a race horse in Winning Post 8 2017.
An English localization of either game is pretty unlikely, but if can speak Japanese and are a fan of the genre, September 14 looks to be a pretty great day.

We’re now able to see their direct comments on the game’s origins, talk about the appearing characters, and more.
Read on below for some excerpts from the interview. Read up on the full discussion here.
Fire Emblem Warriors: official website and Twitter account launched
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Switch | 2 Comments
Nintendo and developer Koei Tecmo have started releasing new information on Fire Emblem Warriors this week, and it doesn’t look like they will be stopping anytime soon. They launched an official website for the game here and have started up a dedicated Twitter account for the game here.
Neither of them contain any new info or screenshots at the moment; it’s mostly a recap of the Famitsu article we covered here. You can listen to some voice clips of the characters on the website though – the main characters, brother and sister Shion and Lian, are actually voiced by real life-siblings as well, Yuma and Maya Uchida.
Both the website and the Twitter account are in Japanese, but we will of course provide you with all the latest info from them in English.
