Over on the Spanish Pokemon Sun/Moon website, a screenshot has been discovered showing a new Ice Stone. It’s currently unclear what it’ll be used for. One probable guess is that it can be used to evolve Alolan Vulpix to evolve into Alolan Ninetails. GameXplain also speculates that it could be a replacement for the Ice Rock needed to obtain Glaceon.

Natsume recently published River City: Tokyo Rumble, the localized version of Arc System Works’ Japanese 3DS release. TinyCartridge spoke with US producer Taka Maekawa about the western edition.

Regarding Natsume’s approach to localization, Maekawa explained:

“A lot of factors went into how we approached the localization. Times have changed – in the 1980s, games were still being strictly Americanized when brought over to a Western audience. So when the NES game came out, the idea of putting Kunio and Riki into t-shirts and jeans and giving them English names (Alex and Ryan) made a lot of sense.”

“We approached most things situationally; did it make sense to retain the original translation, or go in a new direction? For example, the game heavily relies on its environment (Tokyo) to set the story’s theme and tone, and we wanted to retain that theme. So we decided to maintain Japanese names whenever it made sense to do so – being set in Tokyo, with many of the characters wearing their school uniforms, Japanese character names and locations made the most sense.”

Natsume kept the “River City” name in place to tie it into the American version of the series. However, the game’s primary action is in Tokyo, which is where the “Tokyo Rumble” subtitle comes in. The team explored other potential subtitles such as Bad Blood, Tokyo Brawl, Street Gangs, The Lion Alliance, along with “a few other combinations of word soup before we hit upon Tokyo Rumble and it stuck.”

The latest entry in the Puyo Puyo series, Puyo Puyo Chronicle, was recently announced in Japan. Today, SEGA published some details on the game’s story and characters.

Arle and Carbunble’s day-to-day life in Primp Town is suddenly interrupted when a mysterious book falls from the sky that transports the two of them to a strange new world. Together with a girl called Allie, Arle and Carbuncle go on a journey through that new world to find a way back to their own.

Allie calls Arle a hero – the reason for that is that a prophecy exists in that world which speaks of a girl with a ponytail wearing a white and blue-colored outfit, accompanied by a yellow creature who one day arrive from another world to save this one. Of course, this pretty much exactly applies to Arle and Carbuncle.

On their journey, the three of them venture into a place called Grimp Forest where there is supposedly a girl wearing a Puyo on her head. That girl turns out to be Amitie – who, like Arle and Carbuncle, is from Primp Town and who is not supposed to be in this strange new world. Draco Centaur, Arle’s rival, is also encountered by the group and joins them after being defeated – it seems like there are several familiar faces in this new world.

Finally, take a look at some new screenshots:
