Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from February 2016. You can watch it below.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 has been covered in this week’s issue of Jump, and some new details are provided.

First, Master’s Road is a new mini-game that uses the ride system. There are entrances to Master’s Road in various places in-game, if you use a certain item named Heaven Guidance Stone. The objective in Master’s Road is to reach the goal while dealing with obstacles, and something not specified yet awaits at the goal.

Jump also touches on dimensional rifts, which are gates to a parallel world. These rifts can’t be seen with naked eye, but can be searched and detected with the Reactor. When you go through them, you’ll enter a parallel world never seen before, which has not only strong monsters, but also Masters who can challenge you to a battle which will give you rewards on victory.

The Game Developers Conference (GDC) will take place in San Francisco from March 14th to March 18th. Pokemon GO developer Niantic was set to hold a presentation about the game there where they would reveal new info and presumably show actual gameplay footage for the first time. Unfortunately, it seems that this will not be happening as the Pokemon GO presentation is now listed as “cancelled” on the GDC website.

Right now we don’t know why it was cancelled – it’s also possible that it’s just getting rescheduled and will take at another time during GDC. Cancelling such an anticipated presentation less than two weeks before it was supposed to take place is definitely unusual. We will keep you updated.

10 more minutes of footage is in for Chasing Dead, which is slated for an eShop release on Wii U today. Check out the video below.
