Nintendo is adding free DLC to Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer for the game’s European launch next week. On October 2, players will have access to new character Louie and a few new items.

Here’s the official announcement from Twitter:


I don’t believe any announcements have been made on the North American-side of things, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this DLC is made available soon here as well.

When playing Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, you’ll be asked if you want to share your play data with Nintendo – presumably when you start the game for the first time. Those who choose yes will be given a compact car in-town outside of Nook’s Home, which can be used as a decorative piece for making homes.

Players can still keep the car if they change the settings later on and decide to stop transmitting data to Nintendo. It’s not clear though if there’s another method to unlock the car.

Towards the end of last week, Capcom announced that an artbook for The Great Ace Attorney will arrive in Japan later this year courtesy of Dengeki. A specific date was not shared at the time. It will be your typical artbook, and will contain illustrations from character designer Kazuya Nuri.

Footage has come in showing Project X Zone 2’s opening movie (and related song), seemingly from the Tokyo Game Show this past weekend. Check it out below.

The big piece of Monster Hunter X news coming out of the Tokyo Game Show is the game’s Nyanter Mode. This allows players to go through the game as a Felyne. You can read up a few details concerning the mode below, courtesy of Siliconera.

– Nyanters specialize in movement and various forms of support
– Players can switch into a Nyanter by selecting one of your Palico Felynes at anytime before accepting a quest
– Go as a Nyanter and have your two Palicoes tag alone in single-player
– Nyanters have their own exclusive quests
– They can also play any quest a regular Hunter can
– You can tag up to make a party of four Nyanters with your friends
– No stamina gauge for Nyanters
– Controls are the same as Hunters
– They can also run around with their weapons unsheathed
– You can dig underground to avoid attacks when things get dangerous
– They can do other similar actions as Hunters, such as gathering
– They are faster at it and don’t need to carry around Pickaxes or Bug Nets since they have their own that lasts forever
– There are two acorns on the top-left part of the screen that counts as a couple of extra lives for the Nyanter
– They get KO’d once all Acorns are lost
– Place traps, use flutes, and the new Trampoline
