If you’re interested in getting a look at this week’s Japanese 3DS themes, then be sure to check out the video above. As we mentioned a short while ago, there are plenty of new themes – including Hunter x Hunter and more.

A fresh set of 3DS themes are out now in Japan. These include ones based on Hunter x Hunter (200 yen), Peanuts (200 yen), Future Card Buddyfight (200 yen), and Pom Pom Purin (200 yen).

Watch a video for the Hunter x Hunter theme below.

As a sidenote, you guys have no idea how badly I want that Hunter x Hunter theme. Sadly, it’s probably not releasing in the west!

Update: Here’s what Yacht Club is saying about the situation:


I’m not really too sure what to make of that. Best Buy isn’t one to make mistakes, and we even have the boxart, so… I still think this is going to happen. We’ll see. If we hear anything either way, it’ll be right here on the site.


New product listings on Best Buy’s website reveals that Shovel Knight is seeing a physical release at retail.

Entries for 3DS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions have been spotted. At the moment, it’s unclear if the Wii U version will be receiving the same treatment.

Based on Best Buy’s listings, Shovel Knight’s physical version will cost $29.99. It’s tentatively slated for September 15.

Today, The Pokemon Company properly unveiled Hoopa Unbound, a new form of the Mythical Pokemon Hoopa.

Here’s what you should know about the creature:

Hoopa Unbound is the new and truest form of Hoopa, which until now has had its power sealed away. The rings Hoopa Unbound carries have the power to bend dimensions and are said to allow it to seize anything in the world. After its transformation, Hoopa Unbound is far larger than it was in its previous form, with six huge arms and a greater number of its signature dimension-bending rings.

We also know that Hoopa Unbound has the following stats:

Category: Djinn Pokémon
Type: Psychic/Dark
Height: 21’04” [6.5 m]
Weight: 1,080.3 lbs. [490.0 kg]
Ability: Magician

Hoopa, the 720th Pokemon in the Pokedex, can’t be met under normal circumstances in Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. However, information about how to meet Hoopa will be shared in the future.
