First, here are the new details:

– The protagonist has a strangely shaped birthmark on his left hand; something happens when it glows
– Emma is a close friend of the protagonist who says she’ll undergo the ritual to climb “God’s Rock” with him
– V Jump asks, “What is it that they see there?”
– The Great Tree of Life floats in the center of the world
– It is said the hero can commune with the soul of the Great Tree
– The protagonist’s home village of Ishi is a small and quiet village located in the valley
– In battle, the 3DS version shows both the party and monsters in 3D mode, and just the monsters in 2D mode

The Pokemon Sun & Moon anime has been running for a couple of weeks now, and its reception on the internet has been fairly positive. Alongside the anime’s 8th episode, which aired today, broadcaster TV Tokyo released a short preview video which shows a couple things that will happen over the next weeks and months in the anime. Take a look if you don’t mind spoilers:

With the third SEGA 3D Reprint Archives collecting launching in Japan, three new themes based on the series are out now coming in at 200 yen each. Each one is based on the different boxarts. Videos for all themes can be found below.

Unsurprisingly, Monster Hunter XX was featured on the latest episode of Capcom TV earlier today. The latest gameplay was shown, along with new 3DS themes. We’ve embedded the video where the Monster Hunter XX segment starts below.


According to the latest Media Create sales, the 3DS sold 133,478 units in Japan last week. Total sales have now reached 21,913,661 units since launch. With these figures, 3DS has finally outsold PlayStation 2 in Japan which moved 21,833,216 units.

Congratulations to Nintendo for reaching this notable milestone.
