Puzzle & Dragons Z launches with Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. edition in just a few days in Europe. Nintendo UK has now released a new video showing off a pretty neat technique called the Stepping Stone, which comes in handy in Puzzle & Dragons Z. Check out what you think in the video below.
Bundles for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D are making their way to Europe on June 26th, Nintendo UK just revealed via their Twitter account.
Not only do the bundles come with corresponding faceplates for each of their respective games, but they also have a special home menu theme included as well!

Note that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire come pre-installed while Xenoblade Chronicles 3D comes with a physical copy of the game, presumably due to the large size of the game.
Myst, a classic graphic adventure video game from 1993, is getting a new TV show. Deadline reports that Legendary Television has landed the rights to the drama series, and Hulu will apparently host it on its streaming service. The Amazing Spider-Man producer Matt Tolmach and writer Evan Daugherty are leading the way on this project.
Deadline states that the new drama series “will explore the origins of the island of Myst from the game where a man wakes up on a mystery island with absolutely no idea who he is, where is, or how he got there.” Details beyond this are unknown.
The next SEGA 3D Classic is launching next week, according to a listing on the eShop. 3D Thunder Blade should arrive on May 14 on $5.99. Given the release timing of previous SEGA 3D Classics, it’s likely coming out next Thursday in Europe as well.
View some screenshots from 3D Thunder Blade below.

In an update on the Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden website, it’s announced that Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta will be a Z-Assist (support) character. He’ll be able to use his Final Shine Attack when summoned by the player.
There is one important condition that must be met in order to unlock Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta. Players will need to have save data from Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 on their 3DS.
Some footage of Bloo Kid 2 has come in ahead of its European launch this coming week. Check it out below.
Playtonic’s new 3D platformer is called “Yooka-Laylee”. As it turns out, those are also the names of the game’s lead characters. Yooka is the chameleon while Laylee is the bat.
So how’d Playtonic come up with those names anyway? In a new website interview, artist Greg Mayles explained:
It was planned like this from the start. Yes, that’s right. It wasn’t just a happy coincidence that ‘Ukulele’ splits so well into two character names, honest.
Actually, someone on the team picked up a Hawaiian dictionary and apparently ‘’uku’ means ‘a small brained person’ and ‘lele’ means ‘to fly’ or, excitingly, ‘to get off of a vehicle’. That’s definitely not a coincidence either.
Yooka-Laylee came to Kickstarter last week, and quickly surpassed its $270,000 funding goal. Over $2.1 million has been raised thus far.
