Koei Tecmo had a whole bunch of Fire Emblem Warriors footage to show at its Tokyo Game Show event today. We get a first look at History Mode, new Lyn gameplay, and more. Check out the recording below.

A new entry in the platforming series Umihara Kawase appears to be in development for Switch. At Success’ Tokyo Game Show booth, a poster can be found with a silhouette of Kawase Umihara, the main protagonist.

While there aren’t a ton of entries, the Umihara Kawase franchise has been around for quite some time. The first game released on the Super Famicom, and Natsume published the third title on 3DS as Yumi’s Odd Odyssey.

Kawase Umihara will also be appearing in the Switch game Blade Strangers. The project is a 2D fighter with crossover characters, including Cave Story and Code of Princess.

Mashable recently spoke with Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America. As part of the conversation, the site asked why Nintendo doesn’t run its business based on the suggestions from passionate fans.

Reggie said the following on that front:

It’s rather surprising, but Bethesda has been one of Switch’s strongest supporters thus far. Unlike what we saw with previous console generations, the company is already preparing a few games for Nintendo’s system. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launches in November, followed by Doom this holiday, and Wolfenstein II in 2018.

Nintendo fans will be happy to hear that this could be just the start of Bethesda’s plans for Switch. In an interview with GamesBeat, vice president of marketing and communications Pete Hines noted that they don’t intend to just release these games and stop. “We want this to be the start of a relationship that we build with Nintendo and Nintendo fans,” Hines noted.

More comments from Hines about Switch are included below. You can read the full interview on GamesBeat here.
