When Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon arrive next month, you’ll be able to buy the special Z-Ring. The real-life accessory works with the two games. When using a Z-Move, the Z-Ring lights up, vibrates, and emits sounds to go along with what’s happening in-game.
You can now see what the packaging looks like for the Pokemon Z-Ring Set above. Images of the additional Z-Crystal packs can be found below. They are: Ghostium, Bugnium, Darkinium, Normalium, Fightinium, Electrium, Steelium, Poisonium, Rockium, Firium, Grassium, and Waterium.

A Kickstarter campaign has opened for Dungeon of Zaar, a “turn-based strategy game taking place in an ancient and magical castle where Explorers fight for treasures”. The team is seeking $28,099 in funds. It’s planned for NX assuming the funding goal is met.
Dungeon of Zaar promises single-player missions and training, online player-versus-player matches, and local play. Battles can be fast, with each one estimated to be around 15 minutes long. You’ll also be able to create items from materials won after battles that can be used later as an advantage.
A trailer fund Dungeon of Zaar can be found below. The Kickstarter campaign is located here.

During a recent episode of the Corner Office podcast, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick commented on a wide array of topics. Some interesting discussion came about when Kotick was speaking about how he’s been able to get early looks at certain things that would end up having a big impact on society. Kotick referenced the Macintosh and Toy Story, but in the video game industry, his favorite example is the Wii.
Before the Wii was unveiled, Kotick was invited to Nintendo’s headquarters in Japan for a preview of the platform. Late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto were both present. Kotick was simply handed a Wii remote, and was asked to try fishing. It all came naturally, and after that demo, he believed “this is going to completely transform video games”.
Kotick’s full words:
