This week’s issue of Famitsu has a sizable update on Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. The magazine offers four pages of coverage with new details about the game.

One of the more notable aspects of Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages is that Nintendo costumes will be featured. Players can dress up as the likes of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad. Interestingly, these will take on more than just appearance changes, as they’ll have some effects as well. Mario’s costume raises movement speed while Peach’s costume makes it easier to raise friendships.

If you’re subscribed to the Pokemon Trainer Club newsletter, you should keep an eye out on your inbox for a special treat. Codes will be going out for Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. These can be obtained in Pokemon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, X, and Y. They’ll each come with a Hidden Ability, marking the first time you can get these Pokemon with this trait.

Here’s a trailer for the distribution:

Update: Added in the archive after the break.


Capcom is just now kicking off a new live stream for Monster Hunter Generations to show off the story mode. We’ve posted the Twitch embed after the break due to auto-play. When the archive is ready, we’ll add it in here.
