Game Freak shared a new aspect of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon in an interview with Eurogamer Portugal. We have a bit of news about Mantine Surf.
Director Kazumasa Iwao stated that points earned from Mantine Surf can be used to get items and have Move Tutors teach your Pokemon moves that they couldn’t learn in last year’s games. It’s similar to other enhanced versions, sequels, and remakes of Pokemon games. However, it’s not yet known if points can be obtained through other methods or if the points are Battle Points.
As mentioned earlier today, new Developer Challenge maps are now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. You can see what these have to offer in the video below.

Nintendo sometimes does neat things with its Switch game cases. Case and point: Super Mario Odyssey. Printed inside of the case are the lyrics to the main theme, “Jump Up, Super Star!” It can certainly come in handy if you ever need a refresher about what’s said in the song.
Rockstar Games is releasing a new version of L.A. Noire next month, and it’s coming to Switch. To celebrate, Prima is planning a guide for the game.
Amazon has a listing online for the guide. According to the page, you can expect the following:
New details about paid and free DLC for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 emerged earlier this week via a V Jump magazine. ShonenGames has provided a high-quality scan with a full translation.
Once again, Tapion and Android 13 are the new paid DLC characters. The Hero Colosseum will also be added in for free involving figures.
Lost Sphear isn’t off to such a great start in Japan. Combined sales of the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions are just over 13,000 copies. On Switch specifically, the RPG sold roughly 6,000 units in its first week.
Data from Dengeki further points to a lack of interest in Lost Sphear. According to its numbers, the game sold through just 20 percent of its initial shipment. Not only is Lost Sphear selling slowly so far, but Square Enix may have overestimated interest and there will likely be an overabundance of copies sitting on store shelves.
Inversus Deluxe, the addictive action shooter for Switch, received an update this past week. Hypersect issued version 1.5.8.
Here’s an overview of the patch straight from Hypersect:
“This update simplifies adding users to local multiplayer games. Previously, when choosing additional users, you could pick one that was already selected by a friend and steal control from them. It was a bit confusing and has been prevented with the new update. This will make it easier for friends and family to choose their own user or choose the skip button to play as a guest!”
Hypersect also said that another update for Inversus Deluxe “is already headed out the door” and will be out soon.
