About The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki (As Described by Play-Asia)

This is the end, as well as the beginning—

The whole of the Empire was weakened in the disaster known as the "Great Twilight". Thanks to the efforts of the heroes, the land of Zemuria pulled through the crisis, and a new fate has been spun, moving the story towards its "endpoint".

The game is set on the continent of Zemuria after the Great Twilight. The three main characters and their actions all over the continent cause troubled destinies to become intricately intertwined.

One is a "hero"

One is a "liberator"

One is a "hermit".

About Ring Fit Adventure (as Described by Nintendo)

Traverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, the Ring-Con™ and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional minigames and customizable workout routines, Ring Fit Adventure is great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules.

In Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises as you traverse more than 100 levels in over 20 worlds. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you’ll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation such as squat-powered launch pads. Then, pass around the Ring-Con and leg strap accessories and select from a few minigames: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats, and more.

About Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

Long ago, a giant meteorite fell on the land, and deadly miasma blanketed the world.

Crystals keep the deadly miasma in check, but the crystals' power is not eternal.

Young adventurers embark on a journey once a year seeking "drops of myrrh" to purify the crystals.

These are the chronicles of brave young adventurers who journey to protect their home.

These are the "CRYSTAL CHRONICLES."
