Original (9/13): Nintendo has announced a special New 3DS XL system inspired by Pokemon Sun/Moon for North America. On October 28, fans will be able to purchase the new design for $199.99. Neither of the new Pokemon games will be pre-installed, meaning you’ll need to pick up the games separately.
Nintendo of America’s senior VP of sales and marketing Doug Bowser said of today’s news:
“This year marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved Pokémon series and people have never been talking about Pokémon more. Playing Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon on this new Pokémon system is the best way for fans to show their love for this iconic series.”
Pokemon Sun/Moon both launch on November 18. A Pokemon Sun/Moon Dual Pack will also be available at retailers (separate from the Amazon-exclusive steelbook edition).

It’s that time once again! The latest Capcom TV episode was hosted, and it wouldn’t have been complete without yet another look at the 3DS game Monster Hunter Stories. You can see it in full below.
Another round of videos are in for Paper Mario: Color Splash. Five more clips with gameplay can be found below.
The excellent Tadpole Treble made its way to Wii U last month – in North America that is. There’s no news for Europe yet, but BitFinity is working on getting the game out to additional territories. Speaking with 4colorrebellion, developer Matthew Taranto said that the team is “doing our best to get the Wii U version of Tadpole Treble available in more regions”.
When it comes to the future of Tadpole Treble, DLC is a possibility. More songs could be offered depending on how the title performs.
Taranto said:
“We’ve considered it. To put it pragmatically, it really depends on sales–determining whether the market is large enough for the amount of cost and work going into that would make sense financially. Hopefully if the game does well enough!”
Nintendo is releasing a Yo-kai Watch 2 demo on the North American 3DS eShop within the next couple of weeks. During this month’s Nintendo Direct, we heard that the download will be available during the middle of September.
The eShop is updating tomorrow, so many are anticipating that the demo is only about a day away. And if that wasn’t enough, a graphic on Nintendo’s homepage claims that it’s already out. We know that’s not true, but it should mean we’ll be seeing it extremely soon.
We weren’t expecting to receive a new Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer today following coverage that went online a few hours ago, but it looks like we have one in the end. Catch a video focusing on UB-02 Absorption and UB-02 Beauty below.
MyGamingBoulevard posted a video today that gives us a better look at Pokemon GO Plus. The accessory is unboxed, and paired with a phone, and put to the test. View the video below.
Pokemon GO Plus officially arrives on Friday. Like most products though, some folks have managed to get their hands on it early.
In the past, Nintendo has said that Pokemon GO doesn’t track distance walked when the app is running in the background. However, it turns out that this isn’t true. Reddit user c-a-m-i says that his egg and buddy distance increased by 1.1km with the phone locked during a test session.
What might be RCMADIAX’s final Wii U eShop release has been dated for the European Wii U eShop. According to a listing, it will be available on September 22. The game will set you back €1.49.
