Hot off the latest news about Monster Hunter Stories, Capcom has released a new trailer and screenshots for the game. You can check them out below.
Zero Time Dilemma is about a month away from release. With that in mind, Famitsu shares another update on the game with a four-page feature. The magazine provides some new details while recapping some previously-known information.
Head past the break for our rundown of Famitsu’s article. Note: some tidbits have details that some may consider to be spoiler territory.
Update: There is now a picture of the actual amiibo, seen now as the feature image and in the gallery.
Capcom announced that Monster Hunter Stories, the 3DS Monster Hunter spinoff, will be releasing in Japan on October 8th. Also, there will be three brand-new amiibo launched alongside the game. Two of these are of the protagonist riding the One-Eyed Rathalos, with one amiibo for each gender, while the third is of the player’s partner, Nabiru. These amiibo will grant players unique monsters in-game. Furthermore, Capcom plans to release a second set of amiibo after release. There are also two special costumes for Nabiru, with a Rathalos costume coming in limited versions of the game, and a Dinovaldo costume unlocked by having Monster Hunter Generations save data on your 3DS. This save data will also unlock a one-hand sword for the protagonist.
But that’s not all! Capcom also showed off two costumes, one for the protagonist based on popular musician DAIGO, and the other a costume for Nabiru based on Sanrio character Pompomporin. You can see pictures of all this content below.
The official site will also update on June 2nd, so there may be more new information to look forward to in the future. There is still no word on a western release.
Capcom still has some information to share on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. In today’s update, the company touches on the “Revisualization” system, returning from Dual Destinies.
Here’s the breakdown:
– When the courtroom battle reaches its final stage and it seems you need another step to fully grasp hold of the truth, a “Revisualization” is triggered to reach a decisive conclusion
– You’re allowed to review the facts revealed in the court up until that point
– Seek out a route that leads to the truth while organizing events
– Select the correct route using logical reasoning
– It’s possible to review again any number of times to reach the truth if you make an error
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice launches on June 9 in Japan and this September in the west.

It looks like Nintendo is treating us to not one, but two StarTropics games this week. In addition to the first title that was just confirmed a little while ago, Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics II is also slated for release tomorrow on the North American Wii U Virtual Console.
Nintendo’s listing has the following overview:
Intrepid adventurer Mike Jones, just back from the South Pacific, is off on a new journey through time and space. Mike’s mission is to save seven mystic Tetrads, while facing the avengers of his foiled foe, the evil Zoda. Decipher codes, solve mysteries, and battle dragons with heroes of days gone by. Mike won’t stop until the Zoda’s are history!
Like the original, you’ll be able to pick up Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics II for $4.99.
