Update: Now up on Amazon Canada as well.

Amazon is offering an exclusive “Steelbook Dual Pack” for Pokemon Sun/Moon. It’s priced at $89.99, though Prime members can nab it for $71.99. Orders are now up here.

The Pokemon Sun/ Moon Steelbook Dual Pack naturally contains both games. You’ll also receive a collectible Steelbook case with a purchase.

Here are a few photos:

Something similar was announced for Europe last month. Nintendo will be making “Pokemon Sun/Moon – Fan Editions” available which also contain copies of the game and a Steelbook. However, they’re individual items as opposed to a bundle.

7th Dragon III Code: VFD is now available in North America. You can pick up a copy from retail (and snag a neat art book in the process), or you can download it from the eShop. The latter option requires 12,747 blocks of free space, which amounts to 1593.375MB.

We reviewed 7th Dragon III Code: VFD last week. If you missed it, head on over here to read it in full.

In the United States, Nintendo lowered the price of the 2DS to $80 a couple of months ago. Now Canada is getting a price drop as well.

On July 15, the 2DS will be sold for $109.99. That’s down from the previous asking price of $129.99. Aside from the lower price, most systems also come with either Mario Kart 7 or Yo-kai Watch pre-installed.

Update 2: Bumped to the top. Added in a couple more scans.

Update: Correction – Mimitsukiyu’s name is actually Mimikkyu.

A pair of new Pokemon have been revealed in this month’s issue of CoroCoro.

First up is Kiteruguma, a Normal/Fighting creature with Fluffy and Klutz abilities. We also have a look at the Ghost/Fairy Pokemon Mimitsukiyu. This one has the ability called Disguise.

CoroCoro says that those in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. Because of its strength, it can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers, though raising one puts your life in danger.

Meanwhile, Mimitsukiyu hates sunlight and prefers dark places. The cloth covering its body is rumored to be a strategy to avoid the sun. If someone tries to remove the cloth, it’s said they’ll become afflicted with an illness.

The next entry in the Etrian Odyssey series will be released in Japan next month, on August 4th – ahead of its release, Atlus already revealed some of their DLC plans for Etrian Odyssey V via the latest issue of Famitsu (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). Here’s what you’ll be able to buy starting August 4th (each individual piece of DLC costs 300 yen):

• New Adventurer 1 – makes your character look like a boy wearing a school uniform
• New Adventurer 2 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sailor-style school uniform
• New Adventurer 3 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sweater
• New Adventurer 4 – makes your character look like a Paladin from Etrian Odyssey I
• New Adventurer 5 – makes your character look like a Medic from Etrian Odyssey I
• Adventurer Training Plan – gives you access to a quest that makes it easier to level your characters
• Adventurer Good Luck Plan – gives you access to a quest that gives you lots of gold as a reward

Two more pieces of DLC are also currently planned, but are not yet dated: “New Adventurer 6” (currently unknown how this will change your character’s appearance) and FM Synthesis (800 yen), which allows you to switch to FM Synthesis for the game’s background music and back at any time.

Etrian Odyssey V (along with its DLC, obviously) has not yet been announced for a Western release, though given that every previous title in the series has made it out of Japan, that announcement should only be a matter of time.
