SEGA has shared a brand new music track from Sonic Forces. The piece, posted in the video below, is background music for the Park Avenue Stage featuring the Custom Hero Character.
Nintendo has readied a new Switch trailer focusing on games launching this summer. ARMS, Splatoon 2, and the newly-announced Pokken Tournament DX are featured. Watch the video below.
Famitsu has posted a trio of direct-feed Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon screenshots. View them in the gallery below.
Shortly after Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon were announced, the two games were added to the official Pokemon press site. Oddly, both were listed for both 3DS and Switch for a short time. But soon after it was spotted, the Switch mention was removed.
Just as expected, The Pokemon Company says that the Switch listing was an error. An official statement also reiterates that Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon are exclusive to 3DS.
The note reads:
“We would like to address rumours based on a clerical error on the Pokémon press site; Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are coming exclusively to Nintendo 3DS family of systems and are not due for release on Nintendo Switch. This listing on the Pokémon press site was made in error and is not indicative of future plans. Please refer to the Pokémon Direct for more game details.”
New forms for Solgaleo / Lunala were depicted in today’s unveiling of Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon. Additional art for both Pokemon have since come in, attached above.
Natsume has confirmed its full lineup for E3 2017. Several Nintendo-related titles will be showcased.
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope leads the lineup, and will be shown for the first time on Switch. River City: Knights of Justice, River City: Rival Showdown, Wild Guns Reloaded, and Harvest Moon: Lil’ Farmers round out the rest of the games.
Full details on Natsume’s E3 titles are below.
In the original Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon games, a Wii U could be found in the player’s room at the beginning of the game. With Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon, it’s been replaced. Wii U is gone, and Switch has taken its place. Since Switch is Nintendo’s focus now, the change does make sense.
The official boxart for Pokken Tournament DX has now come in. Have a look at the packaging image above.
Update: The exact terminology Nintendo uses is that the Treehouse stream starts at “about” 9:30 PM PT. Again, we don’t think that leaves much leeway for a video much more than 30 minutes, but perhaps it’ll go slightly over.
Original: We’ve heard hints that the Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 presentation would be at least a half hour long. It actually looks like it’ll be pretty much 30 minutes on the spot.
With Nintendo elaborating a bit more on its E3 plans today, the company said that Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 begins at 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 PM ET next Tuesday (10 AM PT / 1 PM ET on Wednesday and Thursday). We also know that Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 will begin at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. That doesn’t really much room for the presentation to be more than a half hour long.
Update: This has already been removed. We’re going to chalk it up to it being an error.
Original: Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon were just revealed for 3DS as part of the new Pokemon Direct. However, the series’ official press site is also listing the game for Switch with a “TBA” release date. I’m going to guess that this is just a mistake, but hey, maybe there’s a tiny bit of hope that they’ll be on Switch as well.
