We know that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are off to a great start in Japan having sold nearly two million copies in just a few days. Unsurprisingly, they appear to be doing quite well in North America as well.

During its financial call today, GameStop said that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are the retailer’s best-performing games of 2016. Additionally, pre-orders were the highest for any title at GameStop in five years.

Since Bandai Namco put out Dragon Ball Fusions in Japan, developer Ganbarion has been working on a steady stream of updates for the game. Online play was added, along with a bunch of other stuff like new characters.

Bandai Namco has now confirmed that the same type of content will head west. In early 2017, an update will be made available “that will implement online battles, an online special moves trading function, new characters, new fusion possibilities, and more.” Bandai Namco will share more details about the update including a specific date in the future.

It’s unclear if North America will simply be getting one huge update encompassing all of Japan’s patches. Also, while this news specifically pertains to the states, Europe should have access as well following launch next February.

Japan is actually receiving its third update on December 7. After participating in online events, players can gain access to the new characters Super Saiyan Trunks, Super Saiyan Blue Vegito, and the fused version of Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super. Players can also unlock new moves and titles depending on their completion.

Update: Serebii now writes that “the reports may have left out certain illicit circumstances being involved”, but is still looking into the situation. We’ll let you know if we hear anything more.

Original: If you’re playing Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon, you may want to avoid saving in Pokemon Centers and the Battle Tree for the time being. Some users are reporting various issues when doing so. You may encounter a glitch, or your save file could be ruined.

Here’s a look at what happened when one person booted up his game after saving in the Pokemon Center, in which the character model did not load properly:

Hopefully a patch for these issues is issued shortly. We did see similar problems with Pokemon X/Y, but Game Freak did create an update to address them.

You may recall that Nintendo issued a preview download for Miitopia in Japan. Next Wednesday, it will be updated.

Nintendo is packing in a new adventure movie, costume change feature, and “Everyone’s Mii” functionality. Additionally, it’s mentioned that Miitopia’s built-in Mii studio is capable of using 32 colors, which was limited to eight in the normal Mii Studio.

“Everyone’s Mii” is a feature that lets players use popular Miis created by others. When starting the game, a questionnaire appears to determine popularity.

Also worth mentioning: Miitopia’s website has been updated with the confirmation of new jobs. These include: Cat, Devil, Scientist, Tank, Princess, and Flower. View some footage below.

Two Nintendo-published games debuted in the United States last month: Paper Mario: Color Splash and Disney Magical World 2. We now have sales data for both. Paper Mario’s new entry sold about 100,000 units while the 3DS game is estimated to have sold in the neighborhood of 10,000 copies.

Data is also in for other 3DS titles. Yo-kai Watch 2, which shipped in September, sold under 50,000 units. Dragon Quest VII also came out last month and unfortunately appears to have poor legs. It was outsold by the likes of Pokemon X/Y, Smash Bros., and Pokken Tournament at retail.

Lastly, we can say that Skylanders Imaginators sold 66,000 units while Just Dance 2017 moved under 30,000 copies.
