Miis have seen a long history of games and appearances ranging from party titles like Wii Play and Wii Sports to spinoff Mario titles such as Mario Kart and Mario Tennis. Now from a fancy island resort in 2013’s quirky Tomodachi Life to the fantasy wonderlands of an RPG, Miitopia sees Nintendo’s Mii avatars come front and center once again on the 3DS. Miitopia builds ground and gives Miis a more robust experience compared to the simulator nature of Tomodachi Life, but it falls short in many areas to really make this a game worth owning, even if it is just as fun and absurd as one would expect from a Mii driven title – for better or for worse.

Level-5 issued yet another commercial to promote The Snack World’s upcoming release in Japan. Get a look at the latest advert below.

The latest Pokemon Global Mission in Pokemon Sun/Moon tasked players with collectively playing 1,000 lotteries. That goal has already been reached, and rewards will be provided to participants.

All who contributed will receive 2,000 Festival Coins. Additionally, Pokemon Global Link members will earn 4,000. Global Link members who participate in the lottery will be provided with five Rare Candies and a Fast Ball.

Yesterday, Atlus announced the Etrian Odyssey V launch edition for North America. Copies will come with a 24-page art book, and 6-track music CD, and a special outer box.

Deep Silver is handling the distribution of Etrian Odyssey V in Europe. Not all of these goodies are planned for PAL region, but one of them is being brought over. Those who pre-order or otherwise purchase Etrian Odyssey V in Europe will be given the same art book.

Dragon Quest XI will be released in Japan on Friday, but that isn’t stopping Weekly Jump magazine from releasing some new info on the game.

There will be a special type of enemy in the game called reincarnated monsters. As their name implies, they have been reborn and thus look different than their regular counterparts. They might have a different color scheme or other distinguishing features. It’s not all about their appearance though – these monsters are also pretty rare. Hunting them down for special quests given to you by NPCs can net you some great rewards though.
