Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 has just a little more ways to go before its ready for release. Today, Inti Creates introduced a pair of new characters: Asrock and Jibryll. An official update on the two should be shared soon, but both are confirmed to be new bosses in the game.

Here’s a look at both:

Asrock’s stage was actually shown during yesterday’s episode of Denjin Getcha. You can find that recording below, along with another look at the opening stage.

Capcom has put out a few more screenshots from the new coverage of Monster Hunter Stories. Check out the latest images below.

Puzzle & Dragons X debuted in Japan last week. Between July 28 and July 31, the game sold around 87,000 copies. Media Create does’t have any extra data, but Dengeki did post a few extra tidbits.

Puzzle & Dragons X came in two versions. The split was 45,000 copies for the “God Chapter” version and 42,000 units for “Dragon Chapter”. The sell-through rate was roughly 45 percent.

Unfortunately, Puzzle & Dragons X struggled mightily when compared to the 2013 predecessor Puzzle & Dragons X. That game saw sales of 1.53 million copies, so the point we are looking here would be how far this one can capture potential users.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Style Savvy: Fashion Forward are heading to North America on August 19. Those who plan on purchasing these titles digitally can now pre-load them from the eShop. That means you can download most of the data ahead of time, with only a small update needed at launch.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force is 10,241 blocks / 1,280.125MB. Style Savvy: Fashion Forward takes up 6,767 blocks / 845.875MB.

Natsume confirmed River City: Tokyo Rumble’s localization in April. Since then, the publisher has been sticking to a “Summer” release window – until recently.

Today, Natsume put out a tweet which reveals River City: Tokyo Rumble North American launch window of September. On top of that, retailers may give a clue about a specific date. Play-Asia flat-out claims that River City: Tokyo Rumble is scheduled for September 13. And interestingly enough, GameFly has the same date.

At the very least, River City: Tokyo Rumble is coming in September. September 13 could be the final date. Note that the game will be seeing a limited physical run in North America, but will be digital-only in Europe.

Nintendo Network

The 3DS network will be undergoing maintenance on this coming Sunday. Some network services for the 3DS may become unavailable.

The maintenance period is scheduled as such:

  • 7 PM PT – 8 PM PT
  • 10 PM ET – 11 PM ET
  • 3 AM in the UK – 4 AM in the UK
  • 4 AM in Europe – 5 AM in Europe

Data obtained by MCV reveals that 3DS XL and 2DS sales have risen 222 percent and 234 percent in the UK, in comparison to the same period last year. The boost can be attributed to the continued success of Pokemon GO.

Also in large part due to the mobile title’s success, Pokemon games on 3DS are still selling well. MCV reports that Nintendo was the top boxed games publisher in the UK last week. Ten of the top 50 games were from the company, including Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (No.11), Omega Ruby (No.18), X (No.25) and Y (No.29). Pokemon titles sold roughly 9,000 units.

MCV adds that sales of Pokemon trading card, toys, and clothes are also experiencing a boost. Pokemon Sun/Moon pre-orders “have also increased significantly.”

Following several retailer leaks, Rising Star Games has officially announced the retail version of Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse on 3DS. North America will have it on September 27 while the European release is scheduled for September 30. Pricing is set at $29.99 / £29.99 / €29.99.

WayForward, who developed Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, is actually including some new content. The new physical version will include “Super Shantae Nab!!”, a new arcade-style game.

Here’s an overview of Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse:

“In Shantae’s third and biggest adventure to date, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie must team up with her arch-nemesis, the nefarious Risky Boots, in order to save Sequin Land from an evil curse. By becoming a pirate, Shantae gains new weapons she can use to solve fiendish puzzles and battle fierce bosses.”

If you can’t wait for Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse at retail, you can pick up a digital copy from the eShop. It’s available on 3DS in addition to Wii U.
