One month ago, the official Japanese “Bravely” series Twitter account promised some big news for the series’ 4th anniversary. Today, a new game called “Bravely Default: Fairy’s Effect” was announced. The game will soon enter into a limited-capacity closed beta test. Further details were not announced, including which platform the game will be on, but it seems likely that this will be a smartphone game.
Keep in mind that this does not mean the end of the series on 3DS or Nintendo hardware in general. In Japan, both a smartphone and a web browser game were released between Bravely Default and Bravely Second, so a spin-off title on different hardware is nothing unusual. The title of this game also doesn’t seem to imply that it’s a sequel to Bravely Second.
The release of Pokemon Sun & Moon is almost upon us and Nintendo has seemingly stopped with the regular video releases that reveal new Pokemon. However, CoroCoro magazine apparently isn’t stopping anytime soon. Scans of its latest issue have leaked today, and they show two new Ultra Beasts, one new Pokemon and exclusive Z-Moves for the starter Pokemon.
Interestingly, the names / numbers of the Ultra Beasts are not revealed – however, it seems like these Ultra Beasts might be version exclusives, based on the layout of the magazine page and their colors. CoroCoro also states that the new Pokemon is quite a mystery, and wonders how it is related to Solgaleo and Lunala. Decidueye’s unique Z-Move is called “Shadow Arrows Strike” in Japan, while Incineroar’s is called “Hyper Dark Crusher”.
More and clearer scans will likely pop up soon; we will keep you updated.
The release of Pokemon Sun & Moon is getting ever closer, and we’ve reached another milestone today – the final event in the demo version is available today. Talk to the woman inside the building at the marina to see her off on her journey. As a reward, you will get a Comet Shard to send to the full game, which can be sold for quite a lot of money. Note that you can only start transferring items (and Greninja) once you actually have save data from the full version.
A new commercial for Pokemon Sun and Moon has released for Japan. It doesn’t show much of the actual games, instead focusing on the series progress over 20 years, similar to the games’ first reveal. Check it out below:
Awhile back, the Nintendo of Austraila twitter page hosted a Q&A for fans to ask producer Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori questions about the games. They have now answered many of the questions in a video, which you can watch below. They touch on inspiration for Alola forms, the setting, and the starters, as well as who their personal favorite new Pokemon are and noting that the series could journey to Australia some day, due to its diverse wildlife.
Developers of #PokemonSunMoon answer your questions in this Q & A video!
