More:

Later this year, a new edition of The Official National Pokedex will be available. It’s being updated for the newest Pokemon games, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Below is the official description:

Data for all known Pokémon species in the National Pokédex, including their different forms!

Key info on each Pokémon’s Evolutions and how to obtain them—plus Abilities, moves, stats, and more!

Lists of TMs and items that give details on finding them in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon!

Reverse Lookup tables for moves and Abilities—perfect for the competitive battler!

Amazon has Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokedex listed for December 17. Pre-orders are open here.

Thanks to Wagner C for the tip.

The latest issue of Famitsu has shared a listing of the top 30 best-selling games in Japan for the month of July 2017. You can check out the full results below.

Various footage has come in from the final build of Metroid: Samus Returns. We’ve rounded up a bunch of videos below.

Amazon has a pre-order bonus for Monster Hunter Stories. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive the “Rider Set” comprised of four different monsters. Each one is pictured above.

You can place an order Monster Hunter Stories on Amazon here. Amazon will provide the DLC for all buyers who pre-order through September 8.

AbdallahSmash026 has another look at the PAX demos for Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Runner3. View more off-screen footage below, which also has developer interviews.

Miiverse

Miiverse was assumed to be ending after text found within the latest Wii U update mentioned the service’s end. This week, Nintendo confirmed the speculation. Miiverse is coming to a close on November 7 at 10 PM PT / November 8 at 1 AM ET.

The end of Miiverse will ultimately impact many games across Wii U and 3DS. If you’d like to know which ones will be affected, head past the break for the full list.

More: ,

Metroid: Samus Returns is roughly two weeks away from launch. In North America, that means a pre-load option for the game is live on the eShop.

By pre-loading, you can purchase Samus Returns ahead of time and download most of its data. You’ll then just need a small download update. Once that’s installed, you can begin playing.

Metroid: Samus Returns takes up 5,460 blocks of space. That translates to 682.5MB.
