This week’s GameStop ad makes mention of a new pre-order offer for Yo-kai Watch 2. By reserving both versions, you’ll be able to obtain a pair of keychains. Quantities will be limited, and will be distributed while supplies last.
When the eShop updates tomorrow, Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition will be out for both Wii U and 3DS. View some footage from both versions below.

We’ve seen a couple of third-parties announce titles for NX even though the system still hasn’t been properly unveiled. We’ve also heard about some publishers who have left the door open to support. With EA though, their intentions are less clear.
Game Informer asked EA executive vice president Patrick Soderlund about NX at Gamescom today. While he was quick to praise the big N, he wasn’t willing to come out and comment on the new platform for now.
He said:
“Nintendo is such an instrumental part of our whole industry. They deserve to be successful, and they deserve to be a major player in the business, given their pedigree. It’s not only the machines that they’ve built, but also the IPs they’ve brought to market. There are very few companies like Nintendo. Whenever they bring something to market that we see an addressable market for, we’ll be there. Given that they haven’t announced [a new console] officially or shown it, I can’t comment specifically.”
Pirate Pop Plus will soon be coming to the 3DS eShop. At Gamescom, the game has a short demo. Take a look at some off-screen gameplay below.
Runbow Pocket is making its playable debut at Gamescom this week. Get a look at the game in the off-screen video below.
