"Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore" to Hit the Switch in January
Nintendo and Atlus are bringing Tokyo Mirage Sessions to the Nintendo Switch in a special Switch version titled Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore. The Switch version of the critically-acclaimed RPG will launch on January 17, 2020. This is yet another former Wii-U exclusive that is getting a Switch port, which hopefully means it'll get a whole lot more love from fans.
As for new things, we do know that the Switch version will come with a new song that wasn't in the original, some new story elements, and the ability to play the game on the go (like you do with any Switch game). We can also guess that it might include a bit more Fire Emblem than the original version, considering the #FE is in the title.
The official description from Nintendo reads:
The worlds of the Fire Emblem™ series and Atlus games have crossed paths again and the result is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system. An interdimensional evil has invaded modern-day Tokyo, resulting in this fantastical barrage of music, style, and yes, danger. So, fight back! Battle through dungeons to pump up your strategy and creatively decimate your foes…before all hope fades to black.
You and the rising stars you call friends will need to call on your own creative power—manifested as iconic Fire Emblem characters—to wage a secret war on rogue spirits that feed on creativity. Each encounter will immerse you in deep, turn-based battles that blend the combat of the Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei series into one brutal harmony. Fuse items to craft weaponry; then play to your strengths and crush your foes. Around every corner you'll find fun nods to multiple fandoms, including Fire Emblem references, dungeons themed to the entertainment industry, and stunning musical performances.
