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:

We also have this new piece of art:

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.

A brand new Pokemon was revealed for Sun/Moon at Gamescom 2016 today. The Pokemon Company has introduced the new creature known as Turtonator. Watch its reveal trailer below.

Here’s what we know about Turtonator:

More information about the new Pokémon:

Name: Turtonator
Category: Blast Turtle Pokémon
Type: Fire/Dragon
Height: 6’07”
Weight: 467.4 lbs.
Ability: Shell Armor

The Blast Turtle Pokémon Turtonator lives around volcanoes and camouflages itself as a rock to wait for its prey. This Pokémon feeds on sulfur and other materials found near volcanic craters, and as a result its shell is covered in a layer of explosive material. During battle, when something strikes Turtonator, sparks fly from the horns on its shell, igniting this layer and causing an explosion.

Turtonator can learn the exclusive move Shell Trap. With this move, the Pokémon lays a trap for the opponent at the start of the turn. If Turtonator is hit by an opponent’s physical attack during that turn, the trap triggers an explosion resulting in huge damage to the opponent.
