Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will have some stereoscopic 3D support, but its usage appears to be very minimal. IGN’s Jose Otero, who went hands-on with the games recently along with other media as part of a press tour, says he was told that the feature only works with Poke Finder.

Pokemon X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire all included 3D. It was disabled in a majority of the overworld, though the functionality was offered in most battles. The engine struggled at times, so cutting back on stereoscopic 3D should improve Sun/Moon’s performance.

Last week, Nintendo of Europe published an interview with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami and general producer Katsuya Eguchi. The second part of the discussion went up today.

While the initial round of questions were mainly about Splatfest topics, this portion is much more focused on the game itself. Nogami and Eguchi were asked about Splatoon’s origins (wasn’t initially set as a shooter, not tied to a Nintendo franchise), inspiration for its style, what aspect of the game’s success they’re surprised by, and the Squid Sisters popularity.

Continue on below for Nogami and Eguchi’s comments.

Yo-kai Watch 2 ended up releasing as two separate games in Japan. A few months later though, Level-5 prepared a new version known as “Shinuchi”. The same thing is now happening with Yo-kai Watch 3.

The latest issue of CoroCoro reveals Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki. Quite a number of Japanese fans predicted Level-5 would end up bringing out a third entry for Yo-kai Watch 3, and had even guessed the subtitle.

Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki will be released in Japan on December 15. The original Sushi and Tempura versions will be receiving an update on the same day. However, it’s unknown though whether the update will make them totally in par with Sukiyaki.

Details about Sukiyaki are mostly unknown at this time. That being said, with Yo-kai Watch 2: Shinuchi, Level-5 prepared some new elements and mixed the content of Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls. The company may go down a similar path with Sukiyaki.
