This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta share some Switch travel trips. Check out the full episode below.

The Japanese release of Pokemon The Movie: Everyone’s Story is fast approaching. In Japan, the film debuts on July 13.

Oha Suta intends to promote the movie with a new trailer. The episode is airing on Monday, so the video should be published by then at the latest.

Along with the trailer, we’re hearing that the trailer will feature an unrevealed Pokemon. The creature in question is likely Zeraora, who was previously discovered within Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon’s data.

A few new Starter Guides can now be redeemed on My Nintendo. Guides for Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid: Samus Returns, Splatoon 2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are available for 75 Platinum Points each.

Note that these guides aren’t the complete versions. They provide introductory information as opposed to laying everything out entirely.

In any case, these rewards can be redeemed on My Nintendo here.

At Anime Boston a few days ago, VIZ Media announced that it will release Dragon Quest Illustrations: 30th Anniversary Edition in the west. Pre-orders have now started to open. You can reserve it on either Amazon or Amazon Canada.

Dragon Quest Illustrations: 30th Anniversary Edition, which is hardcover by the way, features over 500 illustrations from Dragon Quest to Dragon Quest Heroes II. It also comes with a fold-out poster of the series timeline. Over 200 pages are included inside.

We don’t have any plans for any April Fools’ Day jokes, though we will once again be rounding up all of the Nintendo-related “announcements”. We’ll keep this post updated over the next day or so.
