The latest episode of Game Center DX, the Game Center CX spin-off show, has been released, and it focuses on Pokemon Sun & Moon. Check it out:

While Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS didn’t get quite as much praise as the Wii U version, it was still received well enough for Nintendo to put together an accolades trailer. Give it a watch:

Media Create reported that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon sold 375,665 copies in Japan between November 21 and November 28. We now have additional information from the sales tracker, revealing that the split was 197,000 for Sun and 179,000 for Moon.

That means each version is reduced to about a fourth of their first week sales. Pokemon X (second week of 240,000 copies) and Pokemon Y (233,000 copies) also saw about the same reduction rate. By counting the two games from the Double Pack, Sun and Moon’s total sales as of the second week are 2,281,000 copies, which goes down slightly if compared to X/Y’s two-week total of 2,340,000 units.

The lastest round of Monster Hunter Generations’ free DLC is now available to download. The December update features Street Figther outfits for Felynes, a new armor set designed by Tetsuya Nomura, and more. You can view a gallery of some of the rewards below, and a full list of the quests and rewards after the break.

Yesterday we noted that Super Mario Maker for 3DS’s first update, version 1.01, was on the eShop. Strangely, Nintendo already has another update available. Version 1.02 has now replaced the previous patch on the eShop.

The size is exactly the same at 158 blocks (19.75 MB). Also, once again, the update is needed in order to access the Course World and its online features.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Yacht Club Games debuted a brand new trailer for the Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment expansion during The Game Awards 2016. We’ve posted it below.

The Game Awards 2016 will be beginning soon. If you’d like to watch the show as it happens, we have a handy stream link below.

To clarify what’s happening: the pre-show is taking place a half hour early at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET / 1:30 AM in the UK / 2:30 AM in Europe. You won’t want to miss it, as Nintendo will be showing an “exclusive look” at Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we’ll be seeing something from Yacht Club Games. More on Zelda is supposedly coming during the show itself, and winners for the awards will be selected. It should be a fun night!

GameStop surveyed its PowerUp Rewards members to find out what their most anticipated games of the holiday season are. Final Fantasy XV and Battlefield took the first and second spots respectively, but Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon followed in third place. In case you’re curious, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition rounded out the rest of the top five.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have already done very well at GameStop. The two releases experienced the highest pre-orders in five years.

Arceus was distributed in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire a few months ago. However, players needed to visit certain retailers – such as GameStop in the United States – in order to obtain a code. Now the distribution is running again, and you won’t need to head to your local store this time around.

If you’re in North America, enter the code “Arceus20”. Those in PAL regions can use the code “Arceus2016”.

Note that if you’ve already received Arceus, you won’t be able to download the Pokemon for a second time.
