Unfortunately, Game Freak didn’t quite manage to do what it needed to to hide some of Pokemon Sun/Moon’s secrets in the new demo. YouTube user Kaphotics has been data mining extensively, and has shared some major information about the final game. Head past the break for more.

Monster Hunter Stories came to Japan on October 8. Capcom now intends to release a soundtrack based on the game, which is set for November 9 with a 3,000 yen price point. It has a cover jacket that’s the same as the game’s package illustration, where the protagonist is riding on a Rathalos.

Capcom’s soundtrack will include two discs. Additionally, all copies feature a full-color booklet. It also comes with a QR code that unlocks a usable in-game item.

Those playing through the new Pokemon Sun/Moon demo have spotted a new Alolan Form Pokemon. Since this might be considered a spoiler for some, head past the break for more.

Nintendo Network

Are you unable to connect to the Wii U or 3DS eShops? There’s a reason for that. Nintendo’s maintenance page states that users may encounter issues loading the shops due to heavy traffic.

The Pokemon Sun/Moon demo just made its way to Australia and Japan, so that’s likely the cause here. Additional issues may pop up tomorrow once North America and Europe have access to it as well.

Some folks already have access to the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo – specifically players in Australia and Japan. There are also some people who managed to fully complete it. After going through the demo, you’ll be treated to a new trailer, which we have after the break.
