With Monster Hunter Stories just five days away from its Japanese release, Capcom has prepared a new trailer for the RPG. Watch it below to see all types of monsters and action!
The Holo Caster has been used in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. Its primary function was to provide players with news pertaining to the games and real life events. Updates were done through SpotPass and downloaded manually from the internet. All regions received updates, though there hasn’t been much going on outside of Japan as of late.
Serebii now reports that the Holo Caster service has been discontinued. After logging in, a final notice is displayed, and states that the feature has been around for three years.
A new month is here! We’ve just entered October, so that means we want to know what you’ve been playing. Have you started up something entirely new for the month? Or maybe you’re continuing something you started a little while back? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below!

Update (10/2): Kotaku now reports that Kosmic’s time was off by a single frame, so he’s actually tied the record rather than breaking it. As he explained:
“Basically we know the exact time of the run by the pattern bowser does. His patterns change every frame from power on, so the pattern he gave me is the pattern for 4:57.227.
But, I got a frame of lag when I did [the] bullet bill glitch in 8-2, and lag isn’t like an official frame that the game keeps track of, so Bowser’s pattern isn’t affected by this.
8-4 was 1 frame faster but 8-2 was 1 frame slower so it’s an exact tie.”
Original (10/1): The previous world record for Super Mario Bros. was 4:57.244. However, this past week, Kosmic was able to overcome that time by a single frame. He now has the world record of 4:57.227 – just a difference of .017, seconds.
Here’s a look at Kosmic’s run:

With today’s piece, Capcom touches on the full-length Special Episode, “Turnabout Time Traveler?” I don’t want to say too much about it since Mr. Eguchi will be telling you all about it in a bit. You’ll hear from main writer Masakazu Eguchi as well as some final words from director Takeshi Yamazaki.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
