Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver are out now on the 3DS Virtual Console. To celebrate, long time Game Freak developer Junichi Masuda is going out to system owners via SpotPass. We haven’t heard about any news for North America yet, but we’ll let you know if that changes.
Footage has emerged of the “Cast” 3DS theme for Pokemon Gold / Silver, tying into the 3DS Virtual Console releases. Check it out below.
For those of you in Europe, this theme can be redeemed on My Nintendo here.
Pokken Tournament DX is out today, and to celebrate the occasion, Nintendo has prepared a launch trailer for the game. Give it a watch:

It’s the end of the week, which means another new weapon is coming to Splatoon 2. The Rapid Blaster Pro has a longer range than the regular Rapid Blaster at the exchange of a slower firing rate. It comes with the Toxic Mist sub-weapon and the Ink Storm special. It’ll be added to the game tomorrow at midday in Australia and Japan, early in the morning in Europe and late at night tonight in North America.
Maintenance will be taking place for Fire Emblem Heroes on Thursday / Friday next week, during which the game won’t be playable. This is to prepare for a version update. Since this is the first we’ve heard of this update, it likely won’t be a major one, but it should at least bring some nice quality of life changes. Below are the exact times for the maintenance:
– 4 PM PT (September 28) – 7 PM PT (September 28)
– 7 PM ET (September 28) – 10 PM ET (September 28)
– 12 AM in the UK (September 29) – 3 AM in the UK (September 29)
– 1 AM in Europe (September 29) – 4 AM in Europe (September 29)
Atelier Lydie & Soeur is playable at Tokyo Game Show this year – below you’ll find a brief 15-minute video of someone playing that demo. Note that this is footage of the PS4 version.
Voez is currently being sold only as an eShop title. However, it was announced today that a physical version is coming to Japan. A release is planned towards the start of 2018.
One big addition in the physical release is support for Switch’s TV Mode. Voez only supports handheld play at present, but you’ll be able to play with a controller as opposed to the touchscreen. Other unnamed features are also planned.
Voez has sold over 40,000 units to date on Switch. That number accounts for sales in North America, Europe, and Japan.
