3DS

Digital Foundry has returned with yet another technical analysis. Monster Hunter XX on Switch gets the focus, including how it stacks up to the 3DS original.

First, on 3DS, Monster Hunter XX was originally a 240p game. But on Switch, Capcom increased the resolution to 1080p while Switch is docked. In portable mode, Monster Hunter XX is 720p on Switch.

The boxarts are in for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon. The designs are the same worldwide, just with different ratings labels. We’ve included both above.

With Pokemon Sun/Moon last year, TOMY put out a real life Z-Ring. We’ll be seeing something similar this year with Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon.

The official Pokemon site reveals that TONY will be releasing a Pokemon Z-Power Ring in various countries. Using the Z-Power Ring, “your battles and adventures in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon can become even more fun”.

We assume that the new ring will operate similarly to the last one. That means when you use a Z-Move in game, the real life ring will light up. There could be more to this new one though.

The Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon website has updated with new information about both games, as well as screenshots. We mainly learn that the games will feature new buildings and landscapes, a story centered around Necrozma, and new Z-Moves. Find everything rounded up below.

Two brand new trailers have just come in for Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon – one in English, and another in Japanese. Watch them both below.


The 3DS Virtual Console releases of Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver are fast approaching – they will be available to download on September 22. Additionally, Nintendo of Europe announced today that special packaged versions of the games will also be available to purchase in stores on the same day. Naturally they won’t contain a cartridge of the games, but instead just a download. Still, it’s definitely a nice collector’s item.

So far, this has only been confirmed for Europe, but we’d be surprised if Japan and North America weren’t getting boxed releases as well.

Yesterday, we got confirmation that Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy will be launching in Europe on October 6th. Nintendo also published the game’s boxart, which you can see above. Certainly a bit more mysterious and darker than the Japanese boxart:

It didn’t take long for Nintendo to open the full North American website for Monster Hunter Stories. You can access it here.

The site has plenty of details about Monster Hunter Stories, along with screenshots and gameplay clips. We’ve rounded up the footage below.
