So how about Cyber Monday? Well, additional data from Adobe indicates that the Yo-kai Watch 2DS bundle was at risk for running out of stock. No specific data was provided, but it sounds like Nintendo has done pretty well in sales over the past few days.

Pokemon Sun & Moon: Memento & Parting Shot moves temporarily banned online to fix crashes
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The moves Memento and Parting Shot have been temporarily banned from Pokemon Sun & Moon’s Battle Spot, i.e. the game’s random online battles. This is not due to balancing concerns, but rather to fix a glitch that causes the game to crash when the Z-Powered versions of those two moves are used. Take this into account when planning your Pokemon’s moves at the moment, but hopefully this should be fixed quickly.

Ubisoft’s 30th anniversary video hints at the rumored Mario & Rabbids crossover RPG
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Rumors, Switch | 13 Comments
Ubisoft recently held a party in Paris to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary, and today they released a video that shows some impressions from that event. Interestingly, among the props on display were little figurines of Mario, Luigi and Toad as Ubisoft’s Rabbid characters. Given the recent rumors of a Mario & Rabbids crossover RPG , this could be more than just a coincidence. Naturally, it’s not an official conformation that that game is real, but it is certainly going to fuel further speculations. One way or another, we should know for sure at the Switch event in January.
