With Hey! Pikmin launching in Japan a few days ago, plenty of footage is starting to surface online. Two hours of gameplay can be seen in the video below.

MCV recently chatted with Level-5 Abby’s director of games marketing Lucy Pozniak. Pozniak spoke about the upcoming Layton’s Mystery Journey as well as Switch.

First, about the new star Katrielle, Pozniak noted:

“We have a new hero, [Layton’s daughter] Katrielle, who’s opening up her detective agency. In addition, whereas previous titles have had bigger, more overarching story puzzles or a main mystery to solve, this one is broken into 12 chapters and it’s about solving different mysteries within those chapters.”

Layton’s Mystery Journey won’t just be on 3DS. The game is actually debuting on mobile first – July 20 worldwide. However, the experience will ultimately be the same regardless of the device you’re playing on, Pozniak said.

The latest issue of EDGE has started to surface. Along with the monthly review scores, we’ve learned that the magazine is featuring Super Mario Odyssey in a very special way.

First, the scores:

Nex Machina – 9
Valkyria Revolution – 3
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood – 8
Ever Oasis – 6
Black The Fall – 7
Monument Valley 2 – 7
Micro Machines – 6

A pair of Nintendo-published 3DS games are now up for pre-load on the North American 3DS eShop: Hey! Pikmin and Miitopia. Both launch on July 28.

Pre-loading lets users buy games digitally in advance and download most of the game data ahead of time. Then on launch day, just a small update is needed to begin playing.

Hey! Pikmin takes up 3,230 blocks of space (403.75MB). Miitopia is 6,866 blocks (858.25MB).
