A pair of crossover themes between Animal Crossing and Sanrio can now be purchased in Japan. One features Hello Kitty and Isabelle while the other contains a design of Cinnamoroll and K.K. Slider.
The two themes cost 200 yen each. Videos showing each can be found below.
The first commercial for Miitopia is now live on Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube page. We’ve gone ahead and posted it below.
After testing out a few games yesterday, GameXplain has returned to try out another round of titles with the NES Classic Edition’s controller. You can see how Shovel Knight, Mario Kart 8, and Super Mario 3D World hold up below.
Update: Niantic has further clarified the situation with a tweet, stating that in addition to Eevee being limited to five-kilometer eggs, players will no longer recieve Rattata or Pidgey from their hatched eggs. Furthermore, players will find different Pokemon where Zubat, Rattata and Pidgey were commonly found prior to this update.
Professor Willow has discovered that Pidgey & Rattata no longer hatch from Eggs. He also found that Eevee now hatches from 5 km Eggs only.

Original: Niantic recently made a change to Pokemon GO which is going over very well within the community. In the past, Eevee was a part of the random rotation of Pokemon that could be inside the 10-kilometer egg. Now, however, the Pokemon hatches out of a five-kilometer egg.
It takes quite a bit of work to earn a 10-kilometer egg. After hatching it and learning that Eevee was inside, some players ended up being disappointed as it’s a fairly common creature. With the update, it takes half as many steps to possibly hatch an Eevee or another less rare Pokemon on the same egg tier.
Yves Guillemont, Chairman and CEO of Ubisoft, has made some very interesting comments regarding Ubisoft’s plans for the Nintendo Switch.
While we’ve known that Just Dance 2017 is one of the few titles actually confirmed for the Switch, Mr. Guillemont has hinted in a recent Facebook post that there is another, unannounced title being worked on by Ubisoft for the Switch which will “surprise you a lot”.
“With the Switch’s unique capacities and design, Nintendo could again redefine the way we play games! The Switch is accessible at its core and will give people the freedom and the pleasure to share more experiences and play anywhere at anytime. The Ubisoft teams developing games for the Switch are inspired by these new possibilities, and I’m really happy that we’re able to continue doing great things with Nintendo. In addition to Just Dance 2017, I think there’s at least one game that will definitely surprise you!”
An interesting statement, to be sure. Only time will tell what this title turns out to be.
Ice Station Z is ambitious in the sense that online worldwide multiplayer is supported with game chat. You can see what this area of the title has to offer with some off-screen footage below.
We know that the NES Classic Edition is pretty dang small, but how does it compare to the likes of the original NES, SNES, and N64 from a size perspective? Thankfully, GameXplain has all of the answers in a new video. Check out their findings below.
Update: Bumped to the top. dreamGEAR is also making a wireless controller, and it’s up on Amazon. You’ll be able to use it for 75 hours on two AAA batteries.
Original: Along with the extension cable for the NES Classic Edition’s controller, Nyko is readying another accessory for Nintendo’s new device. The Miniboss wireless controller, promising “complete wireless freedom of up to 30 feet”, will cost $20.
It’ll have the following features:
– Precise button mashing action with complete wireless freedom
– Two offset ergonomic face buttons
– Four-way directional pad for perfect up, down, right, and occasional left movement
– Cord-free gameplay up to 30 feet
You can purchase the Miniboss wireless controller on GameStop here.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s new update was explained in-depth during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct. As it turns out though, what was said during the presentation didn’t cover everything. Players on Reddit have been compiling a list of smaller tidbits Nintendo didn’t touch on.
For instance, it’s now possible to sit on rocks and floor cushions. Other additions include new fortune cookie items, NPC animations, customizable items, and more. Nintendo has also addressed some of the game’s glitches.
Head past the break for the full lineup of details.
3D Power Drift was originally included in the SEGA 3D Classics Collection. However, in Japan, SEGA also just brought it to the Japanese 3DS eShop.
