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.

Pokemon GO’s launch began yesterday having debuted in Australia and New Zealand. Folks in other regions have also been able to get their hands on the game for Android thanks to an APK file floating around.

Unfortunately, early reports are surfacing pertaining to a battery issue. We’re hearing that, in some cases, users are experiencing heavy battery drain. So what can be done?

Niantic does say on an official support page that the team is working on a solution. While you wait, you can try adjusting screen brightness, minimizing in-game actions, and turning the sound off. Pokemon GO also has a battery saver option that can be found in the settings, though the results with using that are unclear currently.
