NIS America is holding its annual press event next month. Numerous announcements are always made here. In 2015 for instance, the publisher revealed the localization of Rodea: The Sky Soldier for Wii U and 3DS.

There wasn’t much news at last year’s event, but that could be changing this time around. An invitation notice from NISA suggests that 3DS will be included in the lineup of announcements.

The 2017 NIS America press event will take place on February 17. If any Nintendo-related announcements are made, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Mega Evolution played a rather subdued role in Pokemon Sun & Moon, only popping up in the post-game – and even then, not all the Mega Stones that were available in the generation 6 games could be obtained. However, this will soon be rectified.

The Pokemon Company announced today that it plans to distribute the missing Mega Stones as entry gifts for online competitions in Pokemon Sun & Moon. The first of these will be the Beedrillite and the Mawilite – they will be available through an online competition in late February.
