At Wonder Festival this past summer, we heard about a new Samus figma from Good Smile and Max Factory. It’s based on the character’s appearance in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
When news about the figure initially surfaced, we only had a generic stock image to go off. Now, however, we have a look at the actual design. That’s because Good Smile is now showing off the prototype at New York Comic Con. We’ve attached a photo from Good Smile above.
Update: Thanks to everyone who entered! Here are our winners:

The excellent Quest of Dungeons launched on the Wii U and 3DS eShops this past week, and we have a few codes to hand out to you lovely people. We have four codes up for grabs: two for North America and two for Europe. They’re specific to Wii U (meaning you need a Wii U to redeem), but you’ll also be able to download the 3DS version as cross-buy is supported.
To enter, leave a comment below telling us about your favorite experience with a roguelike / dungeon crawler. Please be sure to specify your region to ensure that we can count your entry. The four winners will be selected randomly.
We’ll close the giveaway at 8:59 PM PT / 11:59 PM ET on October 7, which is 4:59 AM in the UK / 5:59 AM in Europe on October 8. Best of luck to everyone!

Monster Hunter Stories finally arrived in Japan yesterday. A lengthy look at the game can be found below with two hours of footage.
Update: Added in Sunday’s updates.
Nintendo Badge Arcade has been receiving daily updates since heading to the 3DS eShop. Because it’s continually updated with content, we’re rounding up all of the additions and changes in a weekly post.
Here’s what’s on tap for the week of October 3:
October 3
– 20 Super Mario Maker panels (3 with 1 day left)
– 7 Pokemon panels
– 3 Monster Hunter panels
– 1 free play
We’ve mostly wrapped up our video coverage of Mario Party: Star Rush since the game has launched in Europe and there are plenty of clips scattered online, but we are sharing one final round of footage. Get a look at all of the 53 mini-games below.
Nintendo has now opened the full North American Disney Magical World 2 website. You can visit it here.
Just like with all of Nintendo’s sites, you’ll find a bunch of gameplay details, screenshots, and footage. Speaking of gameplay, we’ve rounded up the different clips in the video below.
Additional screenshots from Super Mario Maker for 3DS, which launches in early December, are now available. We’ve rounded them up in the gallery below.
Ahead of its Japanese debut this weekend, Famitsu reviewed Capcom’s new 3DS game Monster Hunter Stories. It was rated highly, as four editors dished out scores of “9”, “9”, “8”, and “9”. That amounts to a total of 35 out of 40.
We’ve translated the full text of Famitsu’s Monster Hunter Stories review. To read it, head past the break.
When Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon arrive next month, you’ll be able to buy the special Z-Ring. The real-life accessory works with the two games. When using a Z-Move, the Z-Ring lights up, vibrates, and emits sounds to go along with what’s happening in-game.
You can now see what the packaging looks like for the Pokemon Z-Ring Set above. Images of the additional Z-Crystal packs can be found below. They are: Ghostium, Bugnium, Darkinium, Normalium, Fightinium, Electrium, Steelium, Poisonium, Rockium, Firium, Grassium, and Waterium.
