Since Bandai Namco put out Dragon Ball Fusions in Japan, developer Ganbarion has been working on a steady stream of updates for the game. Online play was added, along with a bunch of other stuff like new characters.

Bandai Namco has now confirmed that the same type of content will head west. In early 2017, an update will be made available “that will implement online battles, an online special moves trading function, new characters, new fusion possibilities, and more.” Bandai Namco will share more details about the update including a specific date in the future.

It’s unclear if North America will simply be getting one huge update encompassing all of Japan’s patches. Also, while this news specifically pertains to the states, Europe should have access as well following launch next February.

Japan is actually receiving its third update on December 7. After participating in online events, players can gain access to the new characters Super Saiyan Trunks, Super Saiyan Blue Vegito, and the fused version of Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super. Players can also unlock new moves and titles depending on their completion.

Update: Serebii now writes that “the reports may have left out certain illicit circumstances being involved”, but is still looking into the situation. We’ll let you know if we hear anything more.

Original: If you’re playing Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon, you may want to avoid saving in Pokemon Centers and the Battle Tree for the time being. Some users are reporting various issues when doing so. You may encounter a glitch, or your save file could be ruined.

Here’s a look at what happened when one person booted up his game after saving in the Pokemon Center, in which the character model did not load properly:

Hopefully a patch for these issues is issued shortly. We did see similar problems with Pokemon X/Y, but Game Freak did create an update to address them.

Mojang and 4J Studios are preparing another update for the console versions of Minecraft. In December, the game will be adding “new mobs, blocks, items, status effects and all manner of other tweaks.”

Here’s the full rundown from the Mojang blog:

We’ve prepared a rather spectacular seasonal gift for Console Edition. As is traditional, you’ll have to wait until late December to open up the full package, but we’re happy to give you a teeny preview today – the digital equivalent of letting you sneak downstairs and give your gift-wrapped goodies a little inquisitive shake.

You may recall that Nintendo issued a preview download for Miitopia in Japan. Next Wednesday, it will be updated.

Nintendo is packing in a new adventure movie, costume change feature, and “Everyone’s Mii” functionality. Additionally, it’s mentioned that Miitopia’s built-in Mii studio is capable of using 32 colors, which was limited to eight in the normal Mii Studio.

“Everyone’s Mii” is a feature that lets players use popular Miis created by others. When starting the game, a questionnaire appears to determine popularity.

Also worth mentioning: Miitopia’s website has been updated with the confirmation of new jobs. These include: Cat, Devil, Scientist, Tank, Princess, and Flower. View some footage below.
