The latest episode of Nintendo’s Japanese show Nyannyan Neko Mario Time has now gone live. We’ve included it below.

Monster Hunter Rise

Past Monster Hunter games were known for splitting up their worlds into segmented areas with loading screens. With more recent entries though, Capcom finally started to move away from that. Loading screens have become a thing of the past with a more seamless world.

Monster Hunter Rise director Yasunori Ichinose revealed to IGN that this wasn’t always the plan for the upcoming Switch title. Originally, loading screens were going to be brought back without that sandbox environment.

Yasunori explained why this was and what change, stating:

Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack

Koei Tecmo and Gust announced Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack earlier this week. Although it’ll be released in the west, similar to past titles, it’ll be digital only.

Fortunately, Asia is coming through with an English release. Better yet, it’s been confirmed that the retail version there will fully support English.

Play-Asia has already opened pre-orders here. Look for the trilogy of Atelier titles to land on Switch in April.

According to a report from Asahi News, a 23-year-old man has been arrested in Japan relating to modded and hacked Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield.

The arrest was made after a modded Sobble was sold. In April of last year, the man apparently took home 4,400 yen from the hacked creature, which is about $42. A press conference was held earlier today and police showed the desktop PC used to alter the data.
