3DS

GameXplain has uploaded the final boss and ending for Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Just to be extra safe, we’ve posted the video past the break. The very last scene in particular may be worth watching if you’re interested in Metroid – though it goes without saying there are spoilers involved.

The Obon holiday period took place in Japan last week. During that time, several Nintendo titles were boosted on the sales charts.

Yo-kai Watch 3 sold 93,000 copies for both versions between August 8 and August 14, up 144.65 percent from the previous week. It has also now managed to surpass one million copies sold. Yo-kai Watch 3 is the first title from 2016 to reach that mark.

Also due to demand during Obon, mainstay Nintendo titles experienced increased sales. For example, Kirby: Planet Robobot sold 15,000 copies. That’s a 130.40 percent jump from the previous week.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Olympics gave a boost to Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Across Wii U and 3DS, combined sales were at 18,000 copies. They sold 1.5 times more than last week.

Puyo Puyo Chronicle, Sega’s upcoming 3DS puzzle RPG, has gotten a reveal trailer. Check it out below:

The game is currently only announced for Japan and is set to release on December 8th.

Nintendo has put out a response to this month’s NPD report, of which should be published in full later today.

The company has now officially confirmed that the 3DS was the top platform in the United States last month in terms of both hardware and software. Monster Hunter Generations, continued momentum from the 2DS price drop, and the positive public reaction to Pokemon GO were all contributing factors.

Nintendo also highlighted the following in its statement:

Along with copies of their respective games, each bundle contains an amiibo. The Birthright version has Ike, whereas Conquest features Marth. An NFC reader accessory is also included.

Mighty Ape has a tentative launch date of September 22. The price conversion puts them at about €55 each.

Nintendo has updated the boxart for Mario Party: Star Rush. It’s certainly much nicer-looking now, and it no longer has the same image as an old Spaghetti-O’s can.

Here’s the previous version for reference:

Cartoon Network and GameMill Entertainment have formally announced Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers. Screenshots from the game are available along with details.

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers is described as a side-scrolling action game with lighthearted humor. A tear in the universe is created after Uncle Grandpa accidentally hits the multidimensional switch on his RV. In doing so, the heroes of some of Cartoon Network’s biggest shows are brought together to take down threats from their animated worlds.

Six playable characters are included: Uncle Grandpa, Finn & Jake from Adventure Time, Rigby & Mordecai from Regular Show, Clarence, Gumball from The Amazing World of Gumball, and Steven of Steven Universe. Each one can be swapped at any time. With some enemies, you’ll need to use a specific hero’s ability to defeat them. GameMill promises “special stages with varied gameplay, boss battles and light character progression and customization.”

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers will be a solo experience on 3DS. Unfortunately, the co-op multiplayer feature we heard about in a previous retailer listing is only in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. But there is a bonus Bonkers mode in which players can replay stages “with even more wild challenges”.

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers launches in November. The game will be available both physically and digitally.
