Digger Dan DX was pulled from the 3DS eShop back in July. First Star Software, who owns the Boulder Dash rights, asked Nintendo to remove Four Horses’ game. The two companies were thankfully able to settle all issues, and Digger Dan DX will now be returning to the eShop today.
Those who already own Digger Dan DX will find new content awaiting them. 25 new caves with gems and traps are included, and can be accessed for free.
Four Horses is also holding the following competition:
“To celebrate the re-launch, Four Horses have decided to hold a competition for the first player to get 125 gold stars in the game. The prize is a cheque for £250 (or similar value in your local currency) and the competition is open worldwide to anyone who has bought the game. Existing players do have a head start, but the new Bonus levels are tough enough to give new players a chance to catch up. For full details of the competition, check the Four Horses website http://www.fourhorses.co.uk”

The first Urban Trial Freestyle was released on various platforms, including 3DS. It sounds like the game did quite well on the eShop as a sequel has now been announced. We don’t have too many details just yet, but Urban Trial Freestyle 2 will be at TGS 2016 next week.
If you thought the deluge of Pokemon Sun & Moon info was going to stop anytime soon after the several new trailers we got this week, you’re sorely mistaken. The official Japanese website revealed that the next wave of new information will be released on Wednesday, September 14th, at 10 PM JST / 3 PM CEST / 9 AM EDT / 6 AM PDT. This new info will likely come in the form of a new trailer.
That’s not all, though – the next issue of CoroCoro magazine is set to be released next week as well. The magazine has previously teased that it would reveal Rockruff’s evolution, among other things, in this issue. Historically, we should get leaked scans of the issue a couple of days ahead of its official release, possibly as early as this weekend. We will keep you updated.

Pokemon GO Plus has a new release date. The accessory will launch on September 16, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company announced today.
Here’s what the device offers:
We’ve been wondering who that Professor Oak-looking character is from the new Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer. As some had suspected, it’s not Oak himself. Instead, it’s a relative.
4Gamer confirms that the character is Nariya Oak, Professor Oak’s cousin. Aside from that we don’t know much. 4Gamer says that Nariya studies the region and Alola Forms… and that’s pretty much it!
