When Capcom announced the Japanese release date for Monster Hunter Stories at the end of May, the company also unveiled a few amiibo for the game. Fans will be able to pick up three figures at launch: the Rathalos with male and female options as well as Nabiru. Those aren’t the only ones on the way though.

This week, Famitsu has shown a first look at three more Monster Hunter Stories amiibo. From left to right in the image above:

– Qurupeco and Dan-senpai
– Barioth (nicknamed Hyouga) and Ayuria
– Rathian and Cheval

These new amiibo are planned for release on December 8 for 1,800 yen each. As with the first batch, scanning them will let you unlock special Otomons.

We’ll have more from Famitsu’s Monster Hunter Stories coverage soon.

This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include Culdcept Revolt, Monster Hunter Stories, and Puzzle & Dragons X. Scans of each can be found in the gallery below.

We’ll have a translation of the Monster Hunter Stories article soon!

GiantBomb has 90 minutes of footage up from the final English version of Monster Hunter Generations. Take a look at the gameplay below.

Back when Monster Hunter Generations was launching in Japan, Capcom unveiled a special Zelda collaboration for the game. Players were able to dress their Palico as Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

This same collaboration is now confirmed for the west. Capcom prepared a new trailer today – highlighted below – showing Link in action. He’ll be available as free DLC.

We covered this pretty heavily last week, but the official English transcript for Nintendo’s 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is now live. You can read it in full here. There isn’t anything new compared to what we posted a few days ago, though it’s worth a read if you missed it the first time around!


The weekly update for Pokémon Shuffle is bringing a host of legendary Pokémon, including a new form for Giratina. The Giratina Origin Forme stage is an Escalation Battle, allowing players to earn better items and have a higher catch rate the more times they win. Furthermore, Registeel, Regice, Regirock, and Celebi are all getting repeat runs. All of these stages run until July 19th.

Finally, a once-a-day Jirachi challenge will begin tomorrow, July 6th, and will run through the 9th.
