Earlier this week, news leaked from CoroCoro about a couple of new Ultra Beasts in Pokemon Sun/Moon. The official Japanese website has now been updated, giving us a closer look at UB02 Expansion and UB02 Beauty. You can see some art above and screenshots below.

We were expecting a Pokemon Sun/Moon update today, but this appears to be the extent of it. No new trailer sadly!

Today, Nintendo provided new details and screenshots about Mario Party: Star Rush.

First, here are some new screenshots:

In Toad Scramble, which we heard about previously, players roll their dice at once and move freely across an open map as Toad. Turns are gone here, meaning faster/more strategic matches. It’s also possible to gain an advantage by recruiting Mario and his friends, with each one offering a unique ability that aids Toad in collecting extra coins and bashing bosses to earn stars.

As far as amiibo support goes, when playing alone in Toad Scramble and using a compatible figure, that character will appear as a support character from the start, with a rare item to boost your chances of winning. Additionally, those who have amiibo save data from Mario Party 10 will receive a special die.

System: 3DS
Release date: September 16, 2016
Developer: ArtePiazza / Square Enix
Publisher Nintendo

Dragon Quest has had a very interesting history outside of Japan. Known earlier as Dragon Warrior in North America due to trademark issues, the series wasn’t nearly as popular over here as it was in Japan, being somewhat of a cultural phenomenon overseas. Despite its very low sales in the states, the various games have been relatively well received by those who’ve given the franchise a shot, and over the years have garnered a fairly large fan base in the west. Square Enix, in partnership with Nintendo, has now fully remade one of the most beloved entries in the series for the 3DS: Dragon Warrior VII. So, how does Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past hold up not only as a remake, but also as a brand new title on Nintendo’s handheld?
