Last week, there was plenty of talk surrounding a recent Nintendo patent published online. What we saw showed a device that allows for parts to be detached and added.

Another notable patent has now appeared. While it was originally submitted in late 2013 and published in early 2014, it was only just updated today. It also shows controller attachments that could be used in conjunction with the device.

You can get a look at the full patent here. We’ve included some images from the filing below.

Atlus uploaded a new Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse trailer today that highlights the RPG’s battle system. Check it out below.

Atlus has also passed along some tips about battles – read the full rundown below.

1. Strike First – Tokyo is crawling with demons, so if you see one (or a hundred) while exploring be sure to strike first. If you land a successful first hit, you’ll be allowed to attack first during the battle sequence. While this doesn’t sounds super important, preemptive strikes can mean the difference between life and death. Seriously, death is around every turn in this game, so striking first is a must!

2. Exploit Weaknesses – Fighting demons may seem like a daunting task, but it’s not too difficult once you get into a rhythm. Attacks come in eight classes — Physical, Gun, Fire, Ice, Electric, Force, Light, Dark — and must be used wisely during every encounter. That’s because demons have an elemental weakness that can be exploited to deal devastating damage. For example, battling a gaggle of fire class demons? Don’t fret! It’s nothing that a little Bufu or Raging Blizzard can’t handle. Make sure to remember each demon’s weakness to maximize damage output!

First 4 Figures has revealed its latest effort: a new item featuring Link on The King of Red Lions. With it standing at 25 inches tall from the tip of the mast to the base, the statue is one of the largest pieces in the Zelda line from the company. It’ll come in deluxe full-color packaging, a hand numbered base, and an authenticity card that allows you to purchase the same product number for future pieces in the Wind Waker series.

Like usual, there are two versions of the figure: standard and exclusive. In the exclusive version, bright LEDs pulse rhythmically, giving the impression of flowing water.

The standard version costs $449.99. Alternatively, you can pick up the exclusive version for $479.99. Both ship in Q2 2017.
