Update 2: The second special event is available if you’ve had the demo for at least four days. There is a small conversation with Lillie, who will be a main character in the full game.

Update: The first special event is now available if you’ve had the demo for at least a day. Talk to the man outside the Pokemon Center to recieve 10 Pretty Wings.

One of the incentives for playing the Pokemon Sun & Moon demo is the ability to send stuff from the demo to the full version of the game. In the demo, there are various tasks you can take on – once you clear them, your reward will be something that you can send to the full version of the game. Just talk to Professor Kukui in the Pokemon Center and select what you want to send. Note, however, that you need save data from the full version to do this, so you can’t send anything just yet.

Here is a list of tasks and their respective rewards:

• Clear the “main” part of the story, i.e. beat Plumeria – Greninja
• Beat three trainers on Ten Carat Hill, then beat the Ace Trainer near the exit – Star Piece
• Catch three Pokemon for the first time in the Pokemon-catching challenge on Ten Carat Hill – Nugget
• Talk to the woman on the eastern exit of the city (near the Slowpoke), then clear all the rocks with Tauros – Stardust x3

Update 2: Added a weather video after the break.

Update: Added YouTube links for both videos below.

Original: Ahead of the NX reveal later today where the game might be making an appearance, Nintendo has slightly updated the Japanese website for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

While no new information has technically been added, the website now plays two new videos, titled “In this World” and “In This Era”. Both mostly show footage from the plateau we’ve seen plenty of at E3, but it’s nonetheless nice to see the game in motion.

The rise and fall of Nintendo’s stocks over the last couple of years has been interesting, to say the least. After declining for years following the tepid response to the Wii U, shares have been surging lately once Nintendo entered the mobile gaming market. The company’s various smartphone ventures, including Super Mario Run and Pokemon GO (despite Nintendo’s limited involvement with that one), caused tremendous increases to Nintendo’s stock values.

However, it seems like shareholders are excited by more than just mobile news – following last night’s announcement of the reveal trailer for the NX, Nintendo’s shares have risen by 4.6%, which added more than $1 billion in market value.

Of course, the is just the prelude to the main event. Will the actual NX reveal see shares rise even more, or will they drop back down?

As we’re getting closer to the release of Pokemon Sun & Moon, more and more Pokemon are being revealed – intentionally or not. In truth, the entire Pokedex has already been laid bare via datamining the demo that was released on Tuesday, but if you’re just sticking to the official channels, you don’t know everything just yet.

Another new Alola form has today been revealed, somewhat accidentally, via the cover of the official Japanese Alola Pokedex guide book. Among a variety of new Pokemon and Alola forms, you can also see the Alola form of Persian. Given Alolan Meowth, the existence of Alolan Persian is not exactly a surprise. For spoiler reasons, head past the break for a picture of it.

Via their official blog, Platinum Games announced today that both volumes of the official The Wonderful 101 Original Soundtrack won’t be available on digital storefronts after December 31st. Platinum Games did not state a reason for this. Nonetheless, some key figures at Platinum Games took this chance to reminisce about the soundtrack. First up is director Hideki Kamiya:

I’m sad to say that TW101’s soundtrack is being taken out of distribution. I hope, though, that this announcement reaches as many people as possible and introduces new fans to TW101 and its soundtrack. I’d like to apologize in advance to anyone who, years from now, finds out about TW101 and gets disappointed to see that its original soundtrack isn’t available.

I’ve said this before, but if there’s one phrase that sums up TW101’s soundtrack, “hymns to heroism” would be it. As you’ve probably figured out if you’ve played TW101, I’ve loved superheroes ever since I was a kid. I’ve been blessed with several chances to make games about them throughout my career, even before TW101. But TW101 is the game where I really crammed in as much as I could of what makes heroes so appealing – both their aesthetics, and how they inspire us and give us something to aspire to – to capture what heroes mean to me.

So of course we put special care into the background music that colors the game as well. Superheroes shoulder the burdens of the whole world, and they risk their lives to fight for those weaker than themselves. Their souls shine bright. We aimed to express this through a symphonic orchestral sound, and the result of all our composers’ hard work was a lot of brilliant music.

The tracks appear on the soundtrack in the same order they’re used in the game, so you can experience the heroic story of the Wonderful Ones and their thrilling battles just by listening to it. This goes out to people who’ve played the game, of course, but also to people who haven’t played it yet: Please close your eyes and listen, imagining the heroes’ brief but tumultuous journey, and rally your own fighting spirit to Unite Up and face tomorrow.

…And oh yeah, please share this announcement with everyone you can, because again, I’d love for it to reach as many people as possible. Let’s give everyone a chance to get this special soundtrack before it’s gone.

Head past the break for a comment from Hiroshi Yamaguchi, the game’s composer:
