Japan is getting two new 3DS themes alongside the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The first shows the two legendary Pokémon, Solgaleo and Lunaala, while the second features Pikachu. The themes will come with the Sun and Moon New 3DS bundles, and it is not known if they will release outside of those bundles or in other territories. Hopefully both (or at least the latter) are the case. You can check them out below:

The more that I sit down and think about it, the Monster Hunter series has always been in this kind of gray area for me. I’ve never quite held it as one of my favorite franchises, but since I’ve discovered it, I’ve undoubtedly sank hundreds of hours into the various entries. With every new game there’s always new monsters, tasks, weapons and worlds to explore, so saying that I wasn’t excited to spend a ton more time on Monster Hunter Generations would be a straight up lie. Having said that, will this title be a great enough collection of the series’ best to change my outlook and finally put it into my favorites list, or will it just give off the same one note impression it’s always left on me?
