Square Enix issued a new trailer and commercials for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional. All of the videos are posted below.

Yesterday, there was some discussion about Nintendo potentially considering a 3DS successor. An article from Kyoto Shimbun suggested that president Tatsumi Kimishima may have pointed in that direction.

Nintendo has now published the full Q&A transcript from its Corporate Management Policy Briefing / financial results breifing (in Japanese). It seems there is less here than initially assumed.

When asked about a next-gen portable, Kimishima starting out by saying that Switch and 3DS can co-exist. After all, the two devices have many differences in terms of elements such as form factor, weight, price, and games. Kimishima believes 3DS can be appealing for parents to purchase as their first gaming system for their children because of those factors. He concluded by saying that there is a different demand and market for 3DS as a portable system from Switch, and for a next handheld, Nintendo will keep considering it as always.

Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi chimed in as well. About a new portable, he explained that Nintendo is always thinking about its next game device, so the answer is “We are always thinking about it” rather than there is or there isn’t a 3DS successor.

Many Pokemon players are experiencing issues registering and logging in to the Pokemon Global Link. This is needed in order to log progress in Global Missions.

As Kotaku points out, a Pokemon Trainer Account is required to sync game progress online. That’s where you ultimately gain access to the Pokemon Global Link. While it seems as though Trainer Accounts are fine, attempting to log in with that information on Pokemon Global Link refreshes the page rather than logging you in. Newly registered accounts appear to be primarily affected.

Unfortunately, these issues have been taking place for a month without any resolution in sight. One suggestion has been to add your name to your Pokemon Trainer Account and set your PGL settings to “Nobody”, but it’s definitely not a solution for all players. The situation may also explain why the first Global Missions in Pokemon Sun/Moon have ended in failure.

The nominees are in for the 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards. Pokemon Moon (no Sun for whatever reason) and Paper Mario: Color Splash make up the main highlights in the “Favorite Video Game” category. Just Dance 2017, LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Minecraft: Story Mode are the other nominees.

The 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards will take place on March 11. Nintendo will be sponsoring the event.
