GameStop is offering an exclusive pre-order bonus for Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice. If you reserve it at the retailer, you’ll receive the poster pictured above. The offer is valid both online and in-store.

Those who pre-order or pick up Sonic Boom upon release will also be entitled to the “Launch Edition”. The package includes three episodes of the Sonic Boom animated series on a bonus DVD.

During TGS, SEGA has been holding various live streams for upcoming games. Puyo Puyo Chronicle is one title that was featured, and live gameplay was shown. We have the recording below.

In a recent issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, producer Yosuke Hayashi was asked about the inclusion of Marin in Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends. The character made it in as part of the Link’s Awakening DLC Pack.

Hayashi touched on why Marin uses a bell, her appearance, and movements. Head past the break for our full translation.

At the Tokyo Game Show today, SEGA announced the next game being added to SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage. Thunder Force III, originally released in 1990 for the SEGA Genesis, will be a part of the collection.

SEGA also said that it has acquired the rights to Technosoft’s IPs. The latter company crated Thunder Force III.

We’ve included an extended debut trailer for SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage showing Thunder Force III. Additionally, we have a bit of separate footage from that title plus 3D Turbo Outrun captured during SEGA’s TGS stage show.

Dragon Ball: Fusions might be Bandai Namco’s worst-kept secret at the moment. Even though it was largely thought that the game would be heading west following a leak from a classification in Brazil, extremely strong evidence has appeared which further backs up that initial finding.

GameStop stores are now taking pre-orders for Dragon Ball: Fusions under the SKU 133501. It looks to be a $30 game, similar to that of last year’s Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. If we weren’t getting Fusions in North America (and Europe), it probably wouldn’t be in GameStop’s system – and up for pre-order.

Bandai Namco may have an official announcement to make about Dragon Ball: Fusions in the coming days.

More content can be downloaded in Monster Hunter Generations. Capcom has prepared the Pirate’s Booty Pack, accessible from the DLC menu.

It includes the following:

– Small Goldenfish x20
– Gunpowder x20
– Pitfall Trap x20
– Slickaxe x20

The Pirate’s Booty Pack is absolutely free, so if you have a chance, there’s no harm in grabbing it!

Nintendo UK’s latest trailer for Dragon Quest VII highlights the RPG’s strong critical reception thus far. Take a look at it below.

In August, Bandai Namco said that the developers of Dragon Ball: Fusions were planning free updates for the game. We now have a few more details about what’s in store.

In the first update due sometime this fall, Fusions will be adding online play. Players can go online with friends and random people, trade, and look up leaderboards.

We had also previously heard about a new stage on the way. This is known as “Jikuukan Radar”, which will be able to pick up on Wi-Fi so long as the feature is turned on through your actual 3DS. Characters to battle will appear here, and you’ll be able to make friends with some rare ones.

Nintendo Network
