The Japanese Pokemon Twitter account has released some new Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon footage. The video shows the player atop Lunala, riding through Ultra Space. Unfortunately the video doesn’t show the player go into any of the Ultra Wormholes that appear, so we’ll have to wait until the games will be released next week to find out which Ultra Beasts are hiding behind which Wormholes.

VGMO has a noteworthy interview with composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Along with his work on Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mitsuda also discussed the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Mitsuda spoke about how Kid Icarus: Uprising was a bit hectic due to the various composers involved. He also faced the challenge of “managing the budget and schedule” as well as making sure that the stage music syncs with the action.

A number of global missions were held for Pokemon Sun/Moon when the 3DS games originally dropped last year. Unsurprisingly, these events are returning for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon. Details about the first assignment were published today.

The debut global mission for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon is for all Trainers to collectively catch 10,000,000 Pokemon by November 28. Assuming the goal is reached, every participant will receive 2,000 Festival Coins. A participation reward of 1,000 Festival Coins will also be handed out even if the goal isn’t reached. Note that those who have registered their game at the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission will receive double the number of Festival Coins.

It’s that time as Nintendo has officially ended Miiverse’s services on 3DS & Wii U. As of now if you try to connect to Miiverse, you will get a server error saying that the service has ended.

The homepage for the official Miiverse website shows this image below basically saying the same thing about the end of Miiverse and also information about how your downloadable post history will be sent to your email if you sent a request.

As of right now, Nintendo has no plans for a new social media service on the Switch to replace Miiverse but these last 5 years of Miiverse were something special. Thank you Miiverse and goodbye.
