Update: There is now a picture of the actual amiibo, seen now as the feature image and in the gallery.

Capcom announced that Monster Hunter Stories, the 3DS Monster Hunter spinoff, will be releasing in Japan on October 8th. Also, there will be three brand-new amiibo launched alongside the game. Two of these are of the protagonist riding the One-Eyed Rathalos, with one amiibo for each gender, while the third is of the player’s partner, Nabiru. These amiibo will grant players unique monsters in-game. Furthermore, Capcom plans to release a second set of amiibo after release. There are also two special costumes for Nabiru, with a Rathalos costume coming in limited versions of the game, and a Dinovaldo costume unlocked by having Monster Hunter Generations save data on your 3DS. This save data will also unlock a one-hand sword for the protagonist.

But that’s not all! Capcom also showed off two costumes, one for the protagonist based on popular musician DAIGO, and the other a costume for Nabiru based on Sanrio character Pompomporin. You can see pictures of all this content below.

The official site will also update on June 2nd, so there may be more new information to look forward to in the future. There is still no word on a western release.

The usual Pokémon Shuffle update is upon us, and while there’s only one new stage, the repeat runs are still notable. Four stages have been added to both the mobile and 3DS versions, all of which run until June 7th.

First up is the Magmortar stage, which is new and lets you catch Magmortar. The Ash-Greninja stage makes a return, as well, where players will face off against Ash’s special Greninja from the anime. The legendary Kyogre also makes a return. Both of these stages let players earn Skill Boosters for their respective Pokémon once the Pokémon is captured. Finally, the Carnivine stage is returning. This stage is a Try ’em Items stage, which lets players try items out without using coins.

Good luck out there, champ in the making!

Atlus has provided more info on Etrian Odyssey V, as well as a number of screenshots. Many of these details, such as character customization, were covered previously, but the update did provide screenshots, as well as details on two new locations.

The first of these is Jenetta’s Inn. Like any good RPG inn, you can heal the party and save your game there, as well as deposit and withdraw items. Cows and chickens that are captured in dungeons are also kept there, and the innkeeper, Jenetta, will look after them and provide you with eggs, milk, and more ingrediants.

The second location is The Witch’s Twilight Pavilion, run by a woman named Melina. Here, you can take on quests for rewards, as well as get information from other adventurers.

Check out the screenshots below.

Capcom has announced the first bit of DLC that will come to Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, although the announcement is currently for Japan only. The “Turnabout that Crosses Time” will be a plotline that takes place after the story of the regular game (and will not even be playable until the main story is completed). The DLC will launch June 30th, and it will actually be free for players until July 21st. It is also described as a complete volume, containing investigation and courtroom sections, and starring Phoenix Wright, Maya Fey, Miles Edgeworth, and Phoenix’s childhood friend, Larry Butz.

The DLC will also be given an introduction during a livestream later today, which can be viewed here. If any important info comes of this stream, we’ll let you know.

The weekly Pokémon Shuffle update has hit, and it brings a sizable number of catchable Pokémon to the table, as well as a new mechanic to make things a bit easier. This new mechanic is the Skill Gauge, which makes a Pokémon’s ability grow stronger as it uses it. The gauge can also be filled with new items.

Meanwhile, there are quite a few Pokémon to try and catch, all of which will run until May 31st. Two new challenges have been added: the Electivire stage and a safari, which will give trainers a chance to catch Drowzee, Hypno, Frillish, Jellicent, Elgyem, Beheeyem and Mesprit. Several repeat runs have also begun, such as Groudon and Wobuffet. And, if you’re a regular player, why not give the returning Daily Pokémon Challenge (#4) a try? Like all the Daily Pokémon Challenges, it will change which Pokémon is available on every day, starting with Wynaut, and then going through Torkoal, Zangoose, Luvdisc, and Seviper, before going back to Wynaut.
