Square Enix is sharing another round of information about Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional today. With the latest news, details focus on activities that can be done by player’s partner Nochorin.

There are three new things that the players can request of Nochorin:

1. Want to take a shortcut: Nochorin will allow players to skip parts of the story – either to the following story section or at the next boss; useful for those who have already played the original Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3.
2. Want to scout: Nochorin will scout monsters in player’s stead. It may fail when trying to scout strong monsters, but you can keep giving these requests at any time. There may be also monsters that can only be scouted by Nochorin.
3. Want to pick up items: Nochorin can also pick up items required by players. Depending on its mood, it may obtain a number of items in one go.

Another new feature is Ride Combine, which combines two monsters – one ridden by the player and one ridden by Nochorin – into a single stronger monster. However, it only seems to be available during battles. When combined, the player’s monster will become bigger and more powerful. There are also special skills and abilities that are exclusive to Ride Combine.

Examples of these skills include:

– Toumabakuenzan (Fighting Demon Explosive Fire Slash): engulfs the surrounding area in an explosive fire; the lower the user’s HP, the more damage will be dealt
– God’s Judgment: Drops fierce thunder from above, and deal enormous physical damage to all enemies

And a couple of examples for abilities:

– Dragon Killer: Self-explanatory; greatly raises damage against dragons
– Item Extreme Up: Extremely raises chances of enemies dropping items

Screenshots for today’s coverage are in the gallery below.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo will be undergoing maintenance a bit later today. The game’s online services will be impacted for about an hour.

According to Nintendo, the schedule is as follows:

– 5 PM PT (December 26) – 6 PM PT (December 26)
– 8 PM ET (December 26) – 9 PM ET (December 26)
– 1 AM in the UK (December 27) – 2 AM in the UK (December 27)
– 2 AM in Europe (December 27) – 3 AM in Europe (December 27)

Square Enix has released some new details and screenshots about Dragon Quest XI. We will only talk about the 3DS version here today, though naturally some of it will apply to the Switch version as well. The following info has been translated by Gematsu.

The protagonist

A young man from the village of Ishi. On the day of his 16th birthday, he learns that he is the reincarnation of the “hero” that once saved the world. He carries of the burden of a major mission as well, and leaves his hometown in order to confront his fate.

The protagonist has a birthmark on his left hand. In times of crisis, this mark glows and a mysterious power awakens inside him.

Emma

A childhood friend of the protagonist who was born on the same day. They both underwent their coming-of-age ceremony together on the day of their 16th birthday.

Camus

“I believe in it – the miracle of the hero.”

A blue-haired thief who the protagonist meets on his journey. Although somewhat rude, he has a strong sense of duty and a warm heart. He’s reliable and experienced in the ways of the world and supports the protagonist on his journey.

Head past the break for some more details and screenshots:

Two new stages have been added to Pokemon Shuffle on both 3DS and mobile today. A Mew Escalation Battle will run until January 10th. As per usual, you can get more rewards the more you play this stage; this includes Mega Speedups and Raise Max Levels.

A special stage featuring Mewtwo has also been added. It will run into January 3th.
