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.

Destructoid is reporting that Nintendo is funding Beyond Good & Evil 2. Better yet, the site claims that the game is planned as an NX exclusive for 2017. It would be a move similar to that of Bayonetta 2 on Wii U, which could help Nintendo generate goodwill with gamers by helping bring the much-desired sequel to its new platform as an exclusive.

Destructoid’s initial source originates from Alexander Maier, who recently posted a series of rumors about NX which I personally found rather dubious. However, the outlet “also reached out to a second source, who independently gave a number of the same bullet points regarding the future of Beyond Good and Evil. The number of points of crossover between these two sources suggests that this rumor, while not confirmed by Nintendo, may hold water.”

The new game may be currently carrying the working title “Beyond Good and Evil: The Prejudices of Philosophers”. This is said to be “a reference to a specific chapter in the philosophical text Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche, which details how morality can be altered by authority, and the ways black-and-white morality overlooks the larger complexity of the nature of morals.”

As with all rumors, we can’t stress enough that this report should be taken with a grain of salt. If it were to be accurate though, it’d be a very interesting move on Nintendo’s part.

This week’s North American Wii U Virtual Console release is now confirmed. Tomorrow, Bandai Namco will be bringing out Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures.

Here’s a brief overview of the game:

“Join Pac-Man as he explores and interacts with the world and characters around him. Take on a task, and then take a wild ride on a mine cart or set off on an intense hand-glider flight while fending off some unrestful ghosts. When you need a break from being the hero, relive the classics in Pac-City arcade with the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man.”

Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures will set you back $7.99.

Pokemon Bank is running a special offer starting on March 4 and running through October 31. By accessing the app during this period, users will receive a Regirock, Regice, and Registeel that each possesses a Hidden Ability. Keep in mind that Pokemon Bank requires an annual membership fee of $4.99.

Here’s the promotion rundown from The Pokemon Company:

“You can get the Pokémon trio by selecting the Pokémon Link option from the menu screen of your Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire game. Once you’ve received the Pokémon in Pokémon Bank, select Pokémon Link and the three Pokémon will be sent to a Box in your game. The three Pokémon will be sent one at a time from Pokémon Bank. Note that you can receive these Pokémon only once per Pokémon Bank account, even if you have multiple copies of Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.

Each of the three Pokémon that you receive has a Hidden Ability, a trait they do not possess when found in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. This is your first chance to get these Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities, so don’t miss this opportunity!”

And here’s a breakdown of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel:
