Update (10/31): Bumped to the top. Bewear and Mimikyu plushies are available for pre-order on Play-Asia along with the Pokemon Sun/Moon starters.
Original (10/26): Two new Pokemon Sun/Moon plushies have leaked online. This time around, we have a look at Bewear and Mimikyu, who measure in at 26cm. Both will apparently launch in March.
By the way, it’s also worth mentioning that Bounsweet (17cm) and Gengar (11cm) will be getting new plushies. We have a look at the Gengar set below.
After the smash hit that was Donkey Kong, Sky Skipper was planned as one of Nintendo’s next arcade titles. However, even though it was play-tested and marketed in the United States, the game only released in Japan. Only a small number arcade circuit boards exist, and Nintendo of America houses the only finished Sky Skipper product in the states.
Whitney Roberts, Olly Cotton and Alex Crowley are part of a team looking to create a fully restored arcade cabinet of Sky Skipper next year. Roberts was fortunate enough to gain access to the cabinet at Nintendo of America, and was able to take plenty of photos and scans. You can view a photo of Roberts with the only Sky Skipper cabinet ever made above.
As for why Sky Skipper never came to arcades in the United States, it just wasn’t successful. It went through some play testing at the nearby University campus in the early 80s, but because of a lack of success, the plug was pulled on wider release plans.
Update: The DLC and updates are now live in North America.
Original: In Europe and Japan, Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends players will find new DLC and updates awaiting them. Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have released the final DLC based on A Link Between Worlds. Additionally, Hyrule Warriors is now up to version 1.12.0 while Legends is at version 1.6.0.
Head past the break for the full patch notes. We’ll update this post when the DLC and updates are live in North America.
