Nintendo surprised everyone at E3 in June by announcing not one, but two Metroid games. One of those titles, Metroid: Samus Returns, is just a few days away from launch.

Rather than making the game internally, Nintendo partnered with an external developer on the project. MercurySteam, best known for working on the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow titles, handled the bulk of development. Nintendo was still very much involved, however, and series producer Yoshio Sakamoto played a key role in Samus Return’s creation.

MercurySteam head Enric Alvarez chatted with GamesIndustry about what it’s like working with Nintendo, stating:

Monster Hunter Stories

Nintendo published a launch trailer for Monster Hunter Stories, available today in North America and Europe. Watch it below.

Sega is the latest company to reveal all the games it’s bringing to Tokyo Game Show this year. Other than some of Sega’s and Atlus’ own titles, such as Sonic Forces and Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey, Sega is also hosting a bunch of “partner” games from other publishers at their booth, such as EA and Warner Bros. Here’s the full lineup (thanks to Gematsu for the translation):

Another code is available for you to use to gain more Mega Stones, this time the Pokemon stones you can get are for Latias, Latios, Ampharos and Altaria. The code is DRACHE. It should be noted that all the codes for Mega Stones will stop functioning on October 31st.

To be quite frank, Monster Hunter Stories came as a surprise to me. I didn’t look too much into what the game was before trying it out, because with all my previous Monster Hunter experience I should be fine, right? Upon starting the game, I only knew fragments of information from the announcement trailer. But once my time with Monster Hunter Stories began, the game subverted my expectations, and it became clear that this wasn’t such a bad thing.

At PAX West last week, a special episode of Nintendo Minute was filmed featuring Metroid: Samus Returns. Gameplay was shown as well as some brand new concept art. Watch the full recording below.

Nintendo has uploaded a new Monster Hunter Stories trailer to promote the international release of the game. Monster Hunter Stories is available tomorrow on the 3DS.

Watch the video below.

Update: The Pokemon Company has clarified that the code can only be used once:

PLEASE NOTE: You will only be able to use this code once! The date you choose to enter the code will determine which hat and move set your special Pikachu will have. This means you’re going to have to be very careful when deciding on which Pikachu you wish to add to your party.


Original: In preparation for Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You!, special distributions are planned for Pokemon Sun and Moon. For six weeks starting on September 19, the official Pokemon website will be distributing codes for different versions of Pikachu wearing Ash’s hat.

The schedule is as follows:

September 19 – 25 Ash’s Original Cap Pikachu
September 26 – October 2 Ash’s Hoenn Cap Pikachu
October 3 – 9 Ash’s Sinnoh Cap Pikachu
October 10 – 16 Ash’s Unova Cap Pikachu
October 17 – 23 Ash’s Kalos Cap Pikachu
October 24 – 30 Ash’s Alola Cap Pikachu

Those who attend the Pokemon the Move: I Choose You! dubbed screenings on November 5 and November 6 will receive a Pokemon TCG card featuring Ash’s Pikachu and a QR code that unlocks an in-game Ash’s Pikachu (wearing a different hat than the previous six) and an event for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon that starts on November 17.
