3DS

Yesterday, GameXplain held a live stream for Dragon Ball Fusions that spanned three hours. Get a look at the full archived version below.

Once again, some more characters from the upcoming Puyo Puyo Chronicle and their Auto and Special Skills have been revealed via 4Gamer (credit to Perfectly Nintendo for the translation):

puyo-puyo-rafine

Rafine

A confident and snobby girl from a wealthy family who studies at the Magic School in Primp Town. Despite that, she’s not really that good at magic – martial arts is her specialty.

Auto Skill: Filled with confidence (increases HP)

Special Skill: Etincelle (changes the color of a column of Puyo to yellow)

puyo-puyo-yu-chan-rei-kun

Yu-chan & Rei-kun

A sibling pair – and both of them are ghosts. Yu-chan is bright and intelligent, whereas Rei-kun is silent and backs her up in whatever she says and does. They like to talk in puns and riddles.

Auto Skill: Beyond the Veil (increases Recovery)

Special Skill: Silent Step (lowers the defense of all opponents)

Head past the break for more characters!

With the release of Pokemon Sun & Moon, the Nintendo 3DS has reached a pretty important milestone in Japan: on Nintendo’s home turf, 3DS software sales now top 100 million. According to Famitsu, the 3DS is only the third platform to reach that number in the last 20 years, after the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation 2.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon boot up faster on New 3DS systems compared to original 3DS and 2DS models. But how do they compare during actual gameplay?

In Nintendo Life’s new video, we’re able to see that the New 3DS has just a slight edge when it comes to loading areas. The newer portable also seems to have a bit of an advantage when multiple Pokemon are involved with a battle – specifically Battle Royal. There aren’t major differences and the average player probably wouldn’t be able to detect them, though it’s worth pointing out in any case.

Watch the full video below.

To celebrate the release of Pokemon Sun/Moon in Europe, Nintendo released a special 2DS system featuring Pikachu on the front and the three starters on the back. Take a look at an unboxing video below which also shows off the Fan Editions again.
