4 Corner Games has (sort of) revealed their upcoming Wii U and other platform game, Monochrono. The 2017 game will be a twin-stick shooter, where the player can manipulate time to take out the hundreds of enemies they face. The E3 trailer, which you can watch below, doesn’t actually show too much about the game, save for the screenshot seen above. It does, however, give a few teases about the game’s content.
4 Corner Games provides more details about the game in the video’s description.
Monochrono is a twin-stick shooter broken into ten second chunks, with hundreds of independently intelligent enemies on screen and a clear mission. Players can, at any point, hold down a button to slow down time in the world by a factor of three, providing the essential hook of the game: players can strategize, position themselves appropriately, and release the button to hit their enemies. Because the player them self is not slowed down by the mechanic, it provides an essential layer of strategy that the game is built around.
When players play Monochrono upon its 2017 release, they will find themselves presented with many options and gameplay modes, including a fully fleshed out story campaign, an endless survival mode, a challenge mode with a stricter mission structure that sees players attempting to clear a challenge while completing three distinctly designed challenges, a local multiplayer mode, and many more unannounced features, modes, and unlockables.
The announcement of the title is just the beginning. Fans can stay tuned to 4cornergames.com, as well as follow @4CornerGames and @Monochrono on Twitter to stay in touch about the game’s development, including frequent developer blogs, screenshots, updates, and more. Direct gameplay footage as well as more feature announcements will be coming within the upcoming weeks, and those interested in the title will not want to miss it!
It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart! Yo-kai Watch 3 has now entered the top 10.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between May 25 and June 1.
Several new items can now be purchased in Miitomo via the pap’s Miitomo Shop. A few minutes ago, Nintendo added in dinosaur-themed clothing and more.
Here’s the full lineup of items:
– Slick sunglasses
– Gingham shirt
– Chic baggy pants
– Marbeled- lace socks
– Chunky sneakers
– Gold dollar-sign chain
– Dinosaur egg
– Dino egg hoodie
All of these items can be redeemed in Miitomo Shop in exchange for coins.
Update: Bumped to the top. Nintendo has now posted the art officially on Facebook, which is now in higher resolution and with some extra detail:
A new piece of artwork from the upcoming Zelda game has been spotted on Amazon. The shot shows Link holding onto a rock formation with some pretty scenery in the background.
Expect to hear a whole bunch about the new Zelda title during Nintendo’s Treehouse stream on Tuesday.
Thanks to Phish for the tip.
Update: Here are all of our winners! Congratulations to:

All codes have been sent out. Check the email associated with your Disqus account!
It’s time for a giveaway – two, actually! We have one right here on the site as well as one running on Twitter.
First, we have a total of eight Elliot Quest codes to hand out. Four are available to those with North American Wii U systems while the other four are for those with European consoles. Since this is a bit of a redux given that we held an Elliot Quest giveaway a year ago, we’ll make this simple: just leave a comment below and tell us which region you’re located in – this is crucial, otherwise we may not be able to count your entry.
We’re also giving out a code for the Hyrule Warriors Legends 3DS theme on Twitter! Follow our account and give this message a re-tweet – that’s all. Unfortunately, this one is limited to North America. Sorry about that!
Both giveaways will end on June 12 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe. We’ll pick winners soon after that.
The E3 2016 badge lanyard features none other than Zelda. One side includes art from the upcoming Wii U / NX game while the other has Link from previous entries. We have a look at the full lanyard in this post – see above and below.

The results are in for Splatoon’s 15th European Splatfest. During this weekend’s battle, players were asked if their dream trip would be a world tour or a space adventure.
It was very close, but those who sided with the world tour came out on top. They had a slight edge in both votes (51 percent) and wins (52 percent). The final score was 363 points for Team World and 337 points for Team Space.
Splashy Duck is due out this week in North America and Europe as a Wii U eShop download. Check out a bit of footage below.
Update: Bumped to the top. Added in Sunday’s updates.
