Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon boot up faster on New 3DS systems compared to original 3DS and 2DS models. But how do they compare during actual gameplay?

In Nintendo Life’s new video, we’re able to see that the New 3DS has just a slight edge when it comes to loading areas. The newer portable also seems to have a bit of an advantage when multiple Pokemon are involved with a battle – specifically Battle Royal. There aren’t major differences and the average player probably wouldn’t be able to detect them, though it’s worth pointing out in any case.

Watch the full video below.

We have a ways to go until The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is ready to launch, but it’s already been rated in Australia. The listing just went live today.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is rated “M” similar to some of the more recent entries in the series. Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess were both given the same classification.

Rumors about Switch featuring motion controls have been swirling even before Nintendo properly announced the system last month. Now a comment made by GameStop CEO Paul Raines further suggests that the functionality will be included.

Speaking during GameStop’s financial call yesterday about how Switch could expand the gaming audience like Wii, Raines said: “A movement-related game is more fun for kids, you know, taking those accessories off – [the detachable Joy-Con pads] – you can really do a lot of interesting things with that in gameplay.”

Again, talk about motion controls – in one form or another – isn’t entirely new in terms of what we’ve been hearing from the rumor mill. It is interesting though that Raines is further hinting at it being included.

Most retailers don’t actually know when Switch is releasing or how much it’ll cost, but UK retailer GameSeek is giving consumers a guarantee. You can reserve the console on its website for £198.50. GameSeek says that if the price increases between the time an order is placed and the release date, you’ll be charged the lower price.

The GameSeek listing also mentions a March 17 release date. Whether or not that’s reliable remains to be seen.

Thanks to Stephan for the tip.
