Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional is an updated version of the 3DS game that launched in Japan earlier this year. Today, Square Enix shared information about some of the new features.

First, a drone has now been added to the Reactor device, which can freely explore the field. When activated, the player can stay still while the drone moves to explore far away places or even surprise monsters. Drones can reach places that not even rideable monsters can reach such as high places or small holes. It can also get balls of light floating in the air. Some rare treasure boxes can only be reached by exploring every corner. Drones can also startle enemies that may drop items when they flee.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional, it’s possible to ride huge monsters. The difference with normal-sized monsters that you can ride is that the new kind has a special attack that can instantly wipe out weaker enemies.

Finally, there are special balls of light in the air. If the player touches them, the player and rideable monster will be encased in a special aura. With this, even small monsters can beat enemies with a ride attack.

The release date of Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is just over a month away, and Nintendo just released a new trailer for the game alongside a press release which highlights the game’s features.

By scanning the Yarn Poochy amiibo, players can summon Poochy to help them out. When you scan the amiibo during Poochy Dash stages, you will instead unlock fast-paced Time Attack challenges, which reward you with new Poochy patterns when you beat them.

Mellow Mode is back from the Wii U version, but in addition to having wings, Yoshi can also count on the help of the Poochy Pups, who will seek out secrets and hidden collectables and also can be used to attack enemies.

A great variety of amiibo can be used to unlock new patterns for Yoshi, and new additions for the 3DS version include the Splatoon and Animal Crossing amiibo.

As previously announced, the game also includes 30 stop-motion animations by the Japanese animation studio Dwarf.

Finally, an update is coming to the Wii U version of Yoshi’s Woolly World on February 3rd that will add compatibility with the Yarn Poochy amiibo.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World will be released on February 3rd in Europe and North America.

After a reported five years of searching, the first advertisement for what would become the Nintendo Entertainment System has been located.

Hidden a few pages into a 1984 issue of Consumer Electionics is the first advertisement for the NES, in the form of a prototype known as the Advanced Video System, or AVS. Found by archivist Frank Cifaldi on eBay, he parted with a measly $6.99 for what he considered an “extremely lucky” find.

The third Yo-kai Watch movie, known as Eiga Yo-kai Watch: Sora Tobu Kujira to Double no Sekai no Daib?ken da Nyan! (Yo-kai Watch The Movie: The Flying Whale and the Grand Adventure of the Double Worlds, Meow!), premiered in Japan this past weekend. It managed to top the Japanese box office, beating out Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – which also opened a day earlier. We should note however that Yo-kai Watch’s box office earnings for the Saturday – Sunday time period did not overcome Star Wars.

The new Yo-kai Watch film sold 545,211 tickets for 608,033,100 yen (roughly $5.189 million) on 415 screens on Saturday and Sunday. That amount encompasses 57.5 percent of the opening weekend box office for the previous Yo-kai Watch movie, which went on to earn 5.53 billion yen (roughly $47 million).

Thanks to Mii Again for the tip.
