As we get closer to the release date we will start to see more and more advertising for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Here is some promotional poster art as seen from some Japan retailers.
Nintendo spent about $4.5 million in advertising for July, which put them at the #1 position. They aired 14 commercials around 1600 times creating 230.6 million impressions. They were seen on channels like Adult Swim, Cartoon Network and Nick. The TV spot with the biggest budget seems to be the New 2DS XL ad “New, Sleek Look”.
In an interview with DualShockers and RUINER developer Reikon Games, they were asked if there would be any consideration of bringing the game to Switch. The devs responded that they had been some consideration, but “very abstractly”. So it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon, but the possibility is always up there. You can see the whole interview in the source below.
A number of new items have been added to Miitomo. Among the selection you’ll find in the app, the following are now available:
– Deluxe earmuffs
– Knotted shirt + striped maxi dress
– Cuffed polka dot high-tops
These items can be obtained by using Miitomo coins in Miitomo Shop.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. Super Mario Odyssey drops a spot, but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is in the top ten.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 31 and September 6.
Layers of Fear: Legacy is heading to Switch, Aspyr Media and Bloober Team have revealed.
Layers of Fear, which first debuted last year, is “a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration.” You play as a painter whose primary task is to finish his Magnum Opus. In the game, you’ll be exploring “a constantly changing Victorian-era mansion”.
We’re still waiting on the Cave Story+ co-op update in North America. However, it should be live in Europe now. Get a look at some footage of the mode below.
Bandai Namco did something interesting for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Switch. After completing certain sections, you can access story content from the original Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
It’s actually pretty simple. As long as you finish one story in Xenoverse 2, you can access the story from the original. So after completing the Buu saga in Xenoverse 2 for instance, the Xenoverse 1 version will be unlocked.
Yesterday, we reported that Laura Post is the voice of Primrose in Project Octopath Traveler. We also seem to have the actor for Olberic.
While he didn’t technically confirm his role explicitly, Patrick Seitz appears to be voicing the character. Seitwiz put out a tweet a couple of days ago showing the art for Olberic.

Seitz has been involved with tons of games over the years. Perhaps you’ll recognize him as Magnus from Kid Icarus: Uprising? Or maybe as Zeke from Fire Emblem Echoes? He also voiced Draug and Hector in Fire Emblem Heroes, among many others.
Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
A second video comparison has been published for NBA 2K18. We once again are able to see how the Switch version compares to the PlayStation 4 release. It’s a bit more helpful than the previous one we posted, as we have a split-screen view of the two for the full video. Watch the latest comparison below.
