It’s that time once again! The latest Capcom TV episode was hosted, and it wouldn’t have been complete without yet another look at the 3DS game Monster Hunter Stories. You can see it in full below.

Nintendo is releasing a Yo-kai Watch 2 demo on the North American 3DS eShop within the next couple of weeks. During this month’s Nintendo Direct, we heard that the download will be available during the middle of September.

The eShop is updating tomorrow, so many are anticipating that the demo is only about a day away. And if that wasn’t enough, a graphic on Nintendo’s homepage claims that it’s already out. We know that’s not true, but it should mean we’ll be seeing it extremely soon.

Today, Nintendo provided new details and screenshots about Mario Party: Star Rush.

First, here are some new screenshots:

In Toad Scramble, which we heard about previously, players roll their dice at once and move freely across an open map as Toad. Turns are gone here, meaning faster/more strategic matches. It’s also possible to gain an advantage by recruiting Mario and his friends, with each one offering a unique ability that aids Toad in collecting extra coins and bashing bosses to earn stars.

As far as amiibo support goes, when playing alone in Toad Scramble and using a compatible figure, that character will appear as a support character from the start, with a rare item to boost your chances of winning. Additionally, those who have amiibo save data from Mario Party 10 will receive a special die.

GameStop is offering a pre-order bonus for Pokemon Sun/Moon. According to a new email sent to customers about the upcoming New 3DS XL, by reserving both games, you’ll receive a double-sided poster from the retailer. You can pre-order Sun/Moon at GameStop GameStop.
