Japan is getting two pieces of Splatoon 2 merchandise in November that are sure to be extremely popular: the official soundtrack (Splatune 2) and an art book.
The soundtrack will feature all songs from the game in addition to various sound effects and jingles. It will also come with a jacket for each of the in-universe bands, a roundtable discussion with Wet Floor (one of those bands), an interview with Marina, comments from the developers as well as a Splatoon-themed guitar pick. The soundtrack will cost 3,200 Yen.
The art book obviously features a ton of art from the game, including character design concept art, fashion design sketches, logos and more. Here are some preview images:
The latest Pokken Tournament DX character trailer is here, and this one focuses on Garchomp. Give it a watch:
The Team Match event is now live in Pokemon Duel. Players can join one of three teams – Venusaur, Charizard or Blastoise – and earn points by winning battles and opening Time Boosters. There are individual rewards for reaching certain point thresholds, as well as a Rare Metal EX, which will go to the team with the most points at the end of the event.
The next tempest trial titled Moment of Fate will be coming September 23rd and in order to prepare for this trial a new summoning focus based around it has become available. This focus includes Ike, Titania, Soren and Mist. So if you’re looking for a Path of Radiance character this could be your chance.
A special present is being given to all Pokemon Shuffle players that check in, it is a Shiny Ho-Oh. Some special stages are getting repeat runs such as Chikorita (Winking), Lugia, Meganium and Typhlosion. As well as a new Pokemon Safari with Unown N, Unown I, Unown C and Unown E as the Pokemon to get, this will run til September 26th.
