Nintendo has announced Ring Fit Adventure for Switch. The adventure game, which “incorporates fun new accessories that turn real-world movement into in-game actions in a quest to save the world”, launches on October 18.

Here’s the full announcement with all of the details:

Rarely do games stay the same throughout development. One example of this pertains to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, specifically involving two locations.

In an interview published on Nintendo’s website this week, developer Manabu Takehara revealed that Kakariko Village and Korok Forest ended up swapping locations. He felt that “the two locations were out of place” as the game started to come together, so having them switch made the most sense.

Takehara said:

Sayonara Wild Hearts, which was first unveiled at The Game Awards last year, has been dated for Switch. Annapurna Interactive revealed today that its launch will take place on September 19.

Here’s a new trailer:

Square Enix today announced the release dates for two RPGs in the west. Romancing SaGa 3 will first launch on November 11, followed by SaGa Scarlet Grace Ambitions on December 3.

Both games will feature “new content, optimized graphics and updated gameplay controls.” We have some additional information below.

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

Chris Niosi originally voiced male Byleth in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Now, however, he has been replaced. Today’s update for the game, version 1.0.2, implements the change in English voice actors.

Niosi had already been replaced in Fire Emblem Heroes. He previously admitted to abuse, and apparently broke an NDA after bragging about his role as the player character’s male avatar in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. You can read more about the situation here and here.

Today’s update does not impact the Japanese voice cast.

Update: Full patch notes for update version 1.0.2 added below.


Original: Wave 2 DLC is now available for the FireEmblem: Three Houses Expansion Pass, Nintendo has announced. It features more Auxiliary Battles, items, a pair of glasses for Byleth, and more.

It’s also been announced that Maddening Mode is now live in Fire Emblem: Three Houses via a free software update. Those who finish a game in this mode without carrying over your previous cleared save data will see that the title screen slightly changes.

Below are the full details:

Star Ocean: First Departure R is coming west, Square Enix has confirmed. The HD remaster of the classic sci-fi RPG will launch digitally for Switch on December 5 – the same day as Japan.
