The Switch Online NES Collection app was updated yesterday, and brought a handful of new games with it. As we talked about last week, Japan's update would include Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Check out some footage of that game above.

Lots of people have been talking about how good the music is for Fire Emblem: Three Houses so far. What we've heard has been fantastic, and now we can enjoy the full main theme with its English lyrics!

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is coming to the Switch later this year. Nintendo is hopeful that players who are currently enjoying Fire Emblem Heroes will jump over and check out Fire Emblem: Three Houses as well. Does that mean there's going to be connectivity between the two games? In a Nintendo Life interview, Director Shingo Matsushita wasn't ready to confirm that, but it does seem there's some interesting ideas in the works.

While I cannot confirm anything at this time, I can tell you that we are potentially considering different ways to get more fans interested in Fire Emblem Three Houses through Fire Emblem Heroes.
