Nintendo recently announced that the proper unveiling of the Switch, the company’s newest home console, would take place on January 12th at Tokyo Big Sight, with the chance for visitors to try it out themselves during the following days. Unsurprisingly, this won’t be the only time potential buyers will be able to get their hands on the Switch. Today, Nintendo announced that the Switch will be playable at Tokaigi 2017: Game Party Japan on February 11th and February 12th at Makuhari Messe in Chiba (the same venue used for Tokyo Game Show). Further details were not announced at this point. Nintendo is also listed as the sole “special partner” for the convention.
Capcom uploaded a new Megami Meguri trailer today, attached below. The video features Tsukumo traveling around the areas in Japan and introducing items unique to those spots. Check it out below.
Now that Miitomo’s big update is here, Nintendo is looking to promote it with three new promo videos. Each one is attached below.
The maintenance being conducted on Miitomo is over, and players can now boot up the app to see what’s new. Nintendo introduced a major update detailed in this post.
After applying the update, you should be greeted with a notice about a three-part celebration. By completing certain tasks, Miitomo users can earn Nintendo-inspired wallpaper and flooring. Character collaboration items are also returning, beginning with Splatoon today and continuing for two additional weeks with Zelda and Metroid.
Nintendo is also giving out several free items. You should receive the Mario suit and cap as well as Luigi suit and cap and postal worker hat/uniform. New daily bonus items for logging in are planned as well.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also a new Miitomo Drop stage. Access “Swords and sorcery! Miitomo RPG #1” for some fresh items.
Images and details pertaining to all of today’s Miitomo’s news can be found below.
Just like previous entries in the series, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Sun each feature their own unique set of creatures. We’ve known about some of the Pokemon that will only be found in each version, but a slightly more extensive list has been compiled by Reddit user VanitaLite.
Since some fans may consider this to be spoiler territory, we’ve posted the information after the break.
