On a le résultat à mi-parcours du sondage Choose Your Legends de 2021 pour Fire Emblem Heroes :
Sans gros poids devant eux maintenant, Marth et Eirika se placent actuellement 1er de leur divisions. Et aussi sans gros étonnement le NPC de Three Houses devenu un meme Internet notamment avec son apparition remarqué sur Smash Bros Ultimate sur le stage de Byleth, le Gatekeeper se place 2e devant Chrom (Awakening), Seliph (Genealogy of Holy War) et devant même Byleth.
Par rapport à l'an dernier, Marianne gagne 5 places et passe devant Bernadetta. Azura, Corrin (fille), Daraen (fille) et Tharja re-rentrent dans le top-10, en revanche Anna la mascotte emblématique de la série Fire Emblem qui était à la 9e place l'an dernier est complètement en dehors du top-20 (arrivée 3e en 2019). Coté homme, pas de grand changement dans les personnages présents si ce n'est l'entrée à la 7e place de Yuri, le leader de la 4e maison introduite avec le DLC de Fire Emblem: Three Houses et donc absent du dernier sondage.
Il reste 4 jour de vote où tout peux encore évoluer. Le résultat définitive sera disponible après le 29 janvier.
A la question "Un Pokken Tournament 2 un jour ?", Katsuhiro Harada le réalisateur de la série Tekken répond qu'il serait motivé mais que naturellement la décision reviendra à The Pokémon Company et Nintendo.
Personnellement, bien que je trouve le concept d'un jeu de combat Pokémon est super intéressant au point de ne pas comprendre comment Pokémon Company n'avait pas investi là-dessus avant (et connaissant le fan-game japonais Type: Wild), je n'ai pas pris Pokken Tournament ni sa version deluxe/definitive car je trouve que le jeu dans sa forme et ce qu'il propose ne va pas jusqu'au bout du potentiel. Un gros exemple ce sont les personnages humains qui "n'existent pas" (il n'y a aucune interaction dresseur / Pokémon visible, les humains ne sont que des artworks 2D et c'est un gros manque de cohérence avec le scénario du jeu).
New Pokémon Snap semble réconcilier humains et Pokémon avec des humains de nouveau modélisés avec une certaine importance scénaristique en dehors des jeux principaux de Game Freak, mais à voir le contenu en espérant que tout ça ait un sens ainsi que de la variété de gameplay pour qu'on ne se retrouve pas avec un "mini-jeu de 10h".
En marge du 4e anniversaire de la sorties sur mobile du jeu Fire Emblem Heroes, Nintendo et Intelligent Systems organisent un 5e sondage de popularité "Choose Your Legend #5" qui permettra aux 2 personnages masculins et 2 personnages féminins les plus votés d'avoir une version exclusive dans le jeu mobile (et dont un pourrait être obtenu gratuitement, les autres faudra les obtenir via invocations comme les précédentes éditions).
Les votes commencent dès aujourd'hui, vous pouvez voter pour un personnage une fois par jour jusqu'au 29 janvier. Il faut néanmoins je le rappelle un compte Nintendo pour pouvoir voter.

Pop icon Katy Perry was revealed today as a premier collaborator in the massive, yearlong music campaign.
“Pokémon has been a constant in my life from playing the original video games on my Game Boy, to trading Pokémon TCG cards at lunch, to the adventures of catching Pokémon on the street with Pokémon GO. I’ve even visited the Pokémon Café in Japan while on tour! It is an honor to be chosen to help celebrate a franchise that has given me so much joy in the last 25 years, and to be able to watch it evolve in the ways it’s provided that kind of electric joy for the kids in my life and around the world,” said Katy Perry.
“In Katy Perry, we see a kindred spirit to Pokémon, whose world is bright, fun and uplifting,” said Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing at The Pokémon Company International. “Katy is a wonderful ambassador to help us celebrate 25 years of Pokémon, and we can’t wait for music fans everywhere to experience the exciting collaborations we have planned.”
“We are honored to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pokémon and the significant cultural impact this beloved franchise continues to have around the world. Working together, we have developed dynamic year-round programming involving artists from across UMG’s labels — because what better way to create a global celebration than through the power of music,” said LJ Gutierrez, General Manager, UMGB.
Details about Katy Perry’s participation, additional artist surprises and more about the P25 Music program will be announced throughout the year.
