Today, Capcom updated the official Monster Hunter XX website. There’s not really any new info there that wasn’t covered in the latest Capcom TV footage or some recent magazine scans, but it’s a nice overview of what’s known so far; plus there’s some new artwork and screenshots to be found on the various pages of the website. Check it out, if you want to.
Capcom also sent out a tweet featuring a brief video of the new, barrel-using Renkin Style:

There’s been a lot of footage of the Animal Crossing: New Leaf update, and now there are eight more videos to check out, courtesy of Nintendaan. He shows off the two mini-games, Puzzle League and Desert Island Escape, as well as Felyne (Monster Hunter), Inkwell (Splatoon), Isabelle, and Villager’s RVs.
Since there are so many videos, we’ve placed them after a break:
A new round of maintenance is now scheduled for Wii U and 3DS towards the end of the week. Certain network services on the two platforms will be impacted, such as online play, rankings, etc. It’s taking place on November 4 for most regions, though it’ll be late Thursday night on the West Coast.
Here’s the schedule:
– 10 PM PT (November 3) – 12 AM PT (November 4)
– 1 AM ET (November 4) – 3 AM ET (November 4)
– 5 AM in the UK (November 4) – 7 AM in the UK (November 4)
– 6 AM in Europe (November 4) – 8 AM in Europe (November 4)
The Villager amiibo is compatible with Animal Crossing: New Leaf after applying today’s update, but not in the traditional sense. Rather than bringing a resident to your town, you’ll instead be treated to some Nintendo-related items. You can see this for yourself below.
The latest Capcom TV episode was hosted earlier today, and Monster Hunter XX was on display. New footage of the game can be found in the recorded video below.
With Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s new update, Nintendo added in compatibility with a bunch of amiibo. In the English Animal Crossing Direct broadcast earlier today, we heard about the likes of Splatoon and Zelda. However, in the Japanese presentation, the recently-released Monster Hunter Stories figures were specifically mentioned as well.
Even though Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories amiibo are only being sold in Japan currently, they’re actually compatible with the English version of New Leaf. The text has been localized and everything. If you’ve imported any of the figures, they should work!
Laura Kate Dale from Lets Play Video Games may have some knowledge about Switch’s launch. She’s heard from a source that the PAL date is currently set for March 17 – meaning the day it would be out across Europe and Australia. As for other territories, while the release date won’t be uniform in all regions, Nintendo intends to ship Switch within the same week. Japan may have it a few days earlier.
Dale’s information comes from the same source who informed her about Switch’s reveal trailer date before it was made known. Gamers are advised to take today’s rumor with a grain of salt, though she believes what she’s heard is accurate.
The only window Nintendo shared for Switch’s launch thus far is March 2017. A final date will be known during the system’s blowout presentation on January 12.
GameXplain put the NES Classic Edition controller to the test on Wii U. Super Smash Bros., Super Mario Maker, and a few Wii U Virtual Console games were given a look to see if they’d be compatible in any way. For the full results, watch the following video:
USGamer hosted a lengthy stream for the NES Classic Edition today showing about two hours of footage. View the full archive below.
With today’s new Animal Crossing: New Leaf update, Nintendo added in compatiblity with the new Zelda amiibo. See what the Wolf Link and Ganon villagers look like below.
