Japanese publication V-Jump stealthily released some new gameplay footage of Pokemon Sun & Moon today. However, it doesn’t show any new Pokemon or battles – instead, it shows a way to earn some money on Alola. The footage shows the male trainer undertaking a part-time job at a beach tossing some stranded Pyukumuku back into the ocean. Pyukumuku, a recently revealed new Pokemon, are slippery, slimy creatures that won’t budge from a spot they’ve taken a liking to, not even to hunt for food. To prevent them from starving, the people of Alola toss them back into the sea.

The gameplay footage shows exactly that – the trainer walks around the beach and interacts with the stranded Pyukumuku, clearing the beach of them. This turns out to be pretty lucrative – the trainer is rewarded with a whopping 20,000 Pokedollars at the end, which is quite a lot, especially early on in the adventure. If this part-time job is repeatable, this could turn out to be a pretty nice way to farm money.

Update: Here’s a video recording:

The 2016 Olympics have come to an end. To close out the event, a special ceremony was held, and it featured a surprise “appearance” from Nintendo’s most well-known franchise.

A video was shown of Mario as the Olympics finish in Rio, but transitions to the next event to be held in Tokyo four years from now. It even featured Japan’s prime minister wearing Mario’s signature hat. Naturally there was a Warp Pipe as well!

We’ll add in a video when that comes online. For now, view a few screencaps below.

We’ve known for a few days now that Major League Baseball has approved the sale of Nintendo of America’s majority stake in the Seattle Mariners. An additional notice has since been posted on Nintendo’s investor relations website, confirming a sales amount of $661 million.

Just like we heard last week, “it will take some time to calculate and confirm the impact of this sale”. Nintendo intends to share this information once it’s available.

Nintendo of America still retains 10 percent ownership in the Mariners.

Today’s latest notice can be found below.
