Update (2/9): Play-Asia is now taking pre-orders here.

Original (2/2): Hyrule Encyclopedia was revealed as the second entry in the Zelda 30th anniversary book series last month. Now Amazon Japan has shared the cover, attached above.

The book has 320 pages. It covers 50 keywords in-depth, over 2,000 items, enemy characters, and more, plus explanatory notes and storylines of each game.

Amazon Japan lists Hyrule Encyclopedia for March 1. However, we can confirm that this is an error, and it’s actually due on February 28.

Quite a bit of new Monster Hunter XX info was released lately, partly through Famitsu, Gamer.ne.jp and the game’s official website. Adam “Gaijinhunter” Evanko has kindly translated this avalanche of new details, and Perfectly Nintendo have compiled them. A fair bit of new screenshots and artwork was also released alongside these new details.

First up, some details about the monsters. The Ouma Diablos can enter rage mode, in which its body starts boiling. The steam it emits can literally blow you away if you get too close. The new Deviant monster is the “Hidden Dragon” Malfestio, who has a variety of tricks up its sleeve: it can become invisible, steal items and create shockwaves with its wings. Finally, the following returning monsters will be in Monster Hunter XX: Nerscylla, Gravios and Basario.

Nintendo UK just published the image seen above on their Twitter account – it shows off all of the various features of the Joy-Con controllers that are not immediately apparently by looking at them, like the HD rumble, the NFC sensor, the IR motion camera and so on. Nothing new, but it’s nonetheless a nice overview and a reminder that there really is a lot of tech packed into these little controllers.

Swap Fire, a Wii U eShop title that debuted late last year, is getting an update. Midnight Status has shared some information about what to expect from version 1.1

First, players will have easier staged access to Exhibition Mode. The developer is also implementing audio cues in multiplayer to compliment opening animations. You can count on the normal bug fixes as well along with more precise dual analogue controls.

There’s no date just yet for the patch. Swap Fire is also heading to Europe, but no word yet on when it’ll be launching.
