Arc of Alchemist
[line style=’solid’ top=’10’ bottom=’10’ width=’100%’ height=’1′ color=blue]Compile Heart and Idea Factory are taking tactical RPG fans in the West to a desert filled with machine with the release of Arc of Alchemist. Players will fill the shoes of tactician Quinn Bravesford as she uses “Actions” to engage with enemies and utilizing up to three members in-game. We’re especially looking forward to making the most of Quinn’s Lunagear in the desert, which factors into a number of different puzzles.
Arc of Alchemist will come out for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on January 30, 2020.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore
[line style=’solid’ top=’10’ bottom=’10’ width=’100%’ height=’1′ color=blue]Originally released for the Wii U in 2015, Atlus and Intelligent Systems are giving the title a second wind with the Nintendo Switch release of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore. Combining the worlds of Fire Emblem and Atlus’ titles, this title tells of an interdimensional evil that has invaded modern-day Tokyo. However, the player can wage war on these evil spirits through turn-based battles that take cues from both the Fire Emblem and the Shin Megami Tensei series. We’re especially looking into seeing all of the Easter eggs the developers have put in for fans of each series.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore will come out for the Nintendo Switch on January 17.

These classics have been rendered in high definition, and can be experienced in either a horizontal mode or a vertical “TATE” mode. We’re especially looking forward to experiencing these titles with a friend in its local multiplayer modes.
