PAX West provided its official schedule for all of the events taking place at the expo at the beginning of September. A “special” Nintendo panel was among what was listed.

The listing has since updated, and provides details as to what’s in store. Rather than a developer panel, Kit and Krysta will actually be hosting a live episode of Nintendo Minute. Attendees will be treated to some new gameplay, which we should see later on.

Here’s the official panel description:

Join us for a live filming of Nintendo Minute! We’ll be taking a look at new game play for Metroid: Samus Returns, showing off some amazing fan art submitted by you and giving away some cool Metroid goodies. Hope to see you there! – Kit & Krysta

The Snack World is what Level-5 is hoping will be its next big franchise. An anime has been running in Japan, and the 3DS companion game just debuted in Japan last week. Dengeki has more on the debut sales.

Depending on which sales tracker you go with, The Snack World sold between 85,000 and 100,000 copies in its first week. Dengeki says that it sold through 55 percent of its initial shipment.

Gaming sales were particularly strong in Japan last week. With the Obon holiday in full swing, it’s a good sign. Hardware and software both outdid last year’s Obon, and Media Create has more on that front.

Splatoon 2 and Dragon Quest XI made major contributions to the overall software sales. The two games sold 88,000 copies and 208,000 copies respectively (the latter figure is Dragon Quest’s 3DS and PlayStation 4 sales combined).

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon received a real life Z-Ring last year by TOMY. Similar to those two games, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon are receiving the same treatment. TOMY’s website offers more details about the Z-Power Ring.

We were right in our speculation yesterday, but anyone likely could have guessed what the ring does based on last year’s version. When performing a Z-Move in Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, the ring itself lights up, emits sound, and vibrates. TOMY promises a 4D experience of sorts.

Those in Japan will be able to purchase a Z-Power Ring Set. It’ll come with the ring itself, six Z-Crystals, a Collection Board, and a Pokemon Ga-Ole Special Disc (that Japanese-only arcade game). Pricing will be set at 4,990 yen.

Metroid: Samus Returns doesn’t have a massive amount of story, which fans would probably agree is a good thing. However, Nintendo and MercurySteam did expand upon things a bit more compared to the original Game Boy game.

When you first start Samus Returns, you’ll be treated to an opening with lovely art recapping the first Metroid game. The images maintain the look of a comic book, and may look even better when viewed in stereoscopic 3D. Take a look at some images snapped from Metroid: Samus Returns’ opening below.

News about Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon continues to pour in. Today, Game Informer shared a first look at a new feature in the game called Alola Photo Club.

By using Alola Photo Club, you can take pictures of yourself and Pokemon present in your party. You can choose from various poses while dressing up your character, along with different lenses and cameras. More items can be unlocked based on the relationship with your Pokemon as you progress in the story.

Here’s the first footage of the Alola Photo Club:
