Original: AI is a hot topic these days around the world, and Nintendo is no stranger to those discussions. The company has been asked for its thoughts previously and has expressed some skepticism.
Now we’re hearing that Nintendo is lobbying Japanese government in the fight against generative AI. That news comes from Satoshi Asano, who serves on the House of Representatives with the Democratic Party for the People in Japan. Nintendo is only a small part of his lengthy media post, but Asano claims the company “avoids using generative AI to protect its IP and is also engaging in lobbying activities with the government.”

September 25: There technically hasn’t been an official announcement, but it looks like fans can expect new amiibo for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
Capcom is at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show this week, and the company has three new figures on display. Specifically, there are three that are being shown off. This is especially interesting as we haven’t heard about any of them – until now. It does make sense as Capcom supported the series’ previous entries with amiibo.
Here’s a look at the different figures, courtesy of the following photo snapped by RodimusPrimal82:
