While Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS didn’t get quite as much praise as the Wii U version, it was still received well enough for Nintendo to put together an accolades trailer. Give it a watch:
Media Create reported that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon sold 375,665 copies in Japan between November 21 and November 28. We now have additional information from the sales tracker, revealing that the split was 197,000 for Sun and 179,000 for Moon.
That means each version is reduced to about a fourth of their first week sales. Pokemon X (second week of 240,000 copies) and Pokemon Y (233,000 copies) also saw about the same reduction rate. By counting the two games from the Double Pack, Sun and Moon’s total sales as of the second week are 2,281,000 copies, which goes down slightly if compared to X/Y’s two-week total of 2,340,000 units.
The lastest round of Monster Hunter Generations’ free DLC is now available to download. The December update features Street Figther outfits for Felynes, a new armor set designed by Tetsuya Nomura, and more. You can view a gallery of some of the rewards below, and a full list of the quests and rewards after the break.

Yesterday we noted that Super Mario Maker for 3DS’s first update, version 1.01, was on the eShop. Strangely, Nintendo already has another update available. Version 1.02 has now replaced the previous patch on the eShop.
The size is exactly the same at 158 blocks (19.75 MB). Also, once again, the update is needed in order to access the Course World and its online features.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Nintendo brought out a major Miitomo update last month, but another one is on the way. It will encompass the following:

– “Sidekick Central,” a place where you can share your Sidekick Mii characters’ answers with other users, will be added
– Emoji in your Mii characters’ answers will trigger sound effects
– Various performance improvements
Nintendo asks users to “wait just a little longer for this update”.
