We’ve seen the Japanese boxart for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Who’s the monster starring on the cover?
According to this week’s issue of Jump, it’s none other than the Thousand Blade Dragon Selregios. The magazine says that Selregios is a tough winged monster with strong legs, who has golden scales extending from its back and a single long horn protruding from its forehead.
With the PlayStation 4, Sony is looking to bring in some of the consumers who previously purchased Wii.
That tidbit comes from Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House, who was speaking with Eurogamer. He told the site:
“Our big opportunity is to welcome back an audience much earlier in the lifecycle that possibly bought into the Wii previously. Whether it’s based on this is a really good all-round entertainment device for a family in addition to having great games, our consumer data suggests some of those people are already coming in now and that’s what’s contributing to the really great sales we’ve had.”

Nintendo has announced the games coming to the Japanese 3DS Recommended Software campaign in September. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Mario Kart 7, Tomodachi Life, Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind, and Dragon Quest X will be available. New 3DS XL buyers in Japan will be able to choose one of these titles for free.
According to a Famitsu report, Youkai Watch 2 has managed to sell more than 1,281,096 copies in its first four days. Just before launch, pre-orders were said to have been at over 800,000 units. The game was expected to be Japan’s first million-seller, and it has accomplished that feat in less than a week.
Here’s a look at the items included with the limited edition set of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in Japan. The set is exclusive to Capcom’s online store. It comes with four action figures and one of three different mini-mascot plushies. Check the images out below!
Update: This may not be happening after all. It seems CoroCoro has changed the text on its website, indicating that the magazine will discuss the characters and stages revealed thus far.
The official website for Japanese magazine CoroCoro has revealed that the next issue will be jam packed and is set to reveal all the characters and stages in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.
CoroCoro goes on sale around the 15th of every month, but due to the fact it generally brings a lot of Pokémon related news, among other things, the magazine tends to leak early fairly often. So, chances are we could be learning about these characters and stages a lot sooner than the 15th of next month.
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is due to be released in Japan in September, with a release elsewhere due in October.

Check out the latest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshots below:

Pic of the day. Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth’s–it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth’s power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina’s attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She’s also a little bit shorter than Marth.

With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually.

By the way…there’s probably no chance you’ll be able to see this in the game, but Lucina has the mark of Naga in her left eye.
