3DS

Update: The demo is also live in Australia. Thanks thrillmo!


If you happen to own a Japanese 3DS, you can now get your hands on the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo. Nintendo just put it up on the digital store a couple of moments ago. Other regions should follow over the next several hours.

Thanks to Nintendo Life, we have another look at the new Pokemon Sun/Moon demo releasing imminently. Have a look at some English gameplay below.

Plenty of Pokemon have been revealed as new inclusions in Sun/Moon, but we definitely haven’t seen everything yet. That’s even more evident now through a leak that has surfaced from a booster box image of the trading card game.

Since the Pokemon hasn’t been officially announced and may classify as a spoiler for some, we’ve posted the image after the break.

Update: The original video was set to private, but we’ve added in a re-upload below.


Original: The Pokemon Sun/Moon demo will be out very soon, but some press outlets appear to have already played through it. Watch gameplay of the download below.

The Nintendo UK store is now taking pre-orders for Super Mario Maker 3DS. As a bonus, you can nab a Mario gift. Various options are available, including a coaster pack, level mug, and more. View the full selection here.

Natsume uploaded a new video today to show off some early gameplay from Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. Check out 10 minutes of footage below.

While Megami Meguri is a free-2-play title, it will see a physical release in Japan via the “Complete Edition” and the “Collector’s Box”. Today, Capcom detailed the contents of the Collector’s Box a bit more via Gamer.ne.jp (credit to Perfectly Nintendo for the translation. Other than some physical goodies, it will also contain 20 jewels, the in-game currency that allows you to do various things such as:

  • “cheat” during the game’s board game section, for example allowing you to teleport to other locations or influence the dice rolls
  • open more than once treasure box at once
  • retake one trials at a lower difficulty should you fail them

Here are the rest of the Collector Box’s contents:

  • Megami Meguri collector’s packaging
  • Special art book (A4 size, 36 pages. Includes illustrations for Mikumo, the Seven Pillars Goddesses, interview/comments from the developers, storyboards for the opening animation, artworks of Tsukumo’s expressions, and more)
