Japanese developer FuRyu is working on a new 3DS game, it seems. They’ve opened up a teaser site which, at the moment, only features a video of three people eating a traditional Japanese hot pot dish called oden. What this means is anyone’s guess at the moment – the 3DS logo on the site is pretty much the only thing that marks this as video game-related. We will keep you updated as soon as something happens with that teaser site.
The next character trailer for Pokken Tournament DX has been released. This time, it’s Empoleon’s turn, another character that has previously only been playable in the arcade version of the game.
Some special gear is coming to Splatoon 2. Available exclusively via the SplatNet 2 Gear Shop in the Nintendo Switch Online app, the “Summer Vacation Collection” will be available to purchase from August 11th till August 16th.
Atelier Lydie & Soeur: Alchemists of the Mysterious Painting is getting some special editions that include a variety of goodies.
The “Premium Box” (picture above) comes with the following:
- Visual Book
- Three mini-clear posters
- Extra Tracks & Voice CD (two discs)
- B3-size special illustrated cloth poster
- special in-game items
There’s also the “Atelier 20th Anniversary Box”, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the series. It’s exclusive to Amazon Japan and Gust’s own online store. It includes everything from the Premium Box plus:
- Sophie & Firis Premium Visual Book
- Lydie & Soeur Double Crystal Paperweight
- Atelier 20th Anniversary Alchemist Pin Badge Collection
Finally, all first-print editions of the game will come with a download code for Marie and Elie costumes.
A new summoning focus is now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. It’s called “Hero Fest” and it features 5 star versions of Ike, Ninian, Julia, and Genny. This summoning focus is part of the Starter Support Event, to help newcomers get a good start in the game.
The “Hero Fest” summoning focus will be available until August 18th.
Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have been updated again with a new global event. By using the code “POYONG”, players can receive the Mega Stones for Mega Gardevoir, Mega Gallade, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Diancite. As of now, there is no end date known for the distribution.
The first scan of Yo-kai Watch Busters 2 has emerged from this month’s issue of CoroCoro. A few tidbits are shared inside.
The full title for Yo-kai Watch Busters 2 is “Yo-kai Watch Busters 2: Treasure Legend Banbaraya”. It’s set on Karakuri Island, where the treasure of a pirate king rests. The island holds holds extravagent treasures and dangerous yo-kai.
Again, platforms for Yo-kai Watch Busters 2 have not been confirmed. But given the series’ history on 3DS, we’d be shocked if it didn’t end up on a Nintendo platform.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has reached a major milestone in its development. Music production is now complete, according to composer Yasunori Mitsuda.
Mitsuda tweeted out the news with a celebratory picture:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is scheduled to arrive this holiday, despite skepticism that the RPG will make it out in 2017. With the soundtrack wrapping up, a launch this year shouldn’t be out of the picture.
Nintendo has started distribution of another update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Players with access to the game can download version 1.2.1.
Today’s update specifically addresses one particular problem. The single patch note from Nintendo states, “Corrected an issue that prolonged the time to return to the lobby after races near the start and end times of online tournaments.”
And that’s it. Nothing too huge, but it’s always good to see issues being addressed.
Thanks to Cameron for the tip.
