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.”

Going into specifics, Elytra – an item that lets players glide – is on the way. End Cities will also be added along with Dragon’s Breath to create Lingering Potions. Mojang is also teasing “quite a few other stocking-fillers”.

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.

That’s if you can even lift the box – this is the biggest update we’ve put out this year! There are new mobs, blocks, items, status effects and all manner of other tweaks. Here are a few of the things you might hear rattling round inside:

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.

Two Nintendo-published games debuted in the United States last month: Paper Mario: Color Splash and Disney Magical World 2. We now have sales data for both. Paper Mario’s new entry sold about 100,000 units while the 3DS game is estimated to have sold in the neighborhood of 10,000 copies.

Data is also in for other 3DS titles. Yo-kai Watch 2, which shipped in September, sold under 50,000 units. Dragon Quest VII also came out last month and unfortunately appears to have poor legs. It was outsold by the likes of Pokemon X/Y, Smash Bros., and Pokken Tournament at retail.

Lastly, we can say that Skylanders Imaginators sold 66,000 units while Just Dance 2017 moved under 30,000 copies.
