MightyApe includes a tentative September 30 release date. The product will cost $13.99.
MightyApe was actually the first retailer to list the new Fire Emblem Fates and Smash Bros. 3DS amiibo bundles, which we originally heard about yesterday and were confirmed earlier today. Nintendo may have something the new 3DS adapter soon.

Pokemon Bank compatibility with Sun & Moon planned for January 2017
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Today, the Japanese Pokemon Youtube channel re-uploaded a video that introduces the Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter applications for 3DS. What’s notable about this is that the video’s description was edited to reflect the fact that the update that will allow Pokemon Bank to work with Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon is now scheduled to arrive in January 2017, two months after the launch of the new generation of games. This update will also allow players to deposit their Pokemon from the Virtual Console versions of Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow into the Bank.
Previously, no set release date for this update was announced, though perhaps many people assumed it would be available in late November alongside Sun and Moon. Still, this isn’t exactly a new occurrence as Pokemon Bank wasn’t available for the launch of Pokemon X & Y back in October 2013 either, instead launching in December 2013. Be patient, trainers, and make use of the Pokemon found in Alola until you can transfer over your old favorites!

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse has a tiny bit of unlocalized Japanese text, found in rare circumstances
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 13 Comments
So here’s something interesting. In North America, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is launching tomorrow. It’ll be entirely in English – except for one exception.
Atlus said in an update today that the team accidentally left over a tiny bit of Japanese text. You’ll only find it towards the end of the game, and in rare instances as you need to trigger a certain set of circumstances. Atlus did apologize for not seeing this, but it’s unclear if they’ll be able to put out a patch in the near future.
Here’s the full explanation:
Gather around folks, we’ve got a story to tell, capped off with an apology for the upcoming RPG, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse.
As a bunch of people pointed out, an image circulated this weekend of our English build having some unlocalized Japanese text still in it. I’m not gonna link it here because it’s from the battle at the end of the game and could definitely spoil some details for people. Let that also serve as your warning before you go looking for it.
Nevertheless, I asked our localization team about it, and they pored over the game’s text files looking to find out what happened.
And…?
