Ushio and Tora, Magi collaborations coming to Monster Hunter X
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Believe it or not, there are still new collaborations being announced for Monster Hunter X.
The first one is based on Ushio and Tora, which net players a special “Beast Spear” Insect Glaive. Tora becomes your Kinsect and your hair grows very long like Ushio’s when the spear is equipped. This will be available on January 27 through a quest.
Also planned for Monster Hunter X is a collaboration for Magi. It’ll provide players with a pair of weapons when they finish a quest. Capcom will begin the event in March.
Take a look at the latest Monster Hunter X footage below.

Nintendo of Japan’s online store is now selling Wii U Gamepads
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
Nintendo originally announced near the system’s launch that you would eventually be able to buy the Wii U Gamepad separately and use two of them with the system. Well, support for more than one Gamepad at the time still hasn’t happened and probably will never happen, but you can in fact now buy a new Gamepad directly from Nintendo of Japan’s online store.
The standalone Gamepad costs 13,824 yen. If your old Gamepad broke and your warranty expired and you don’t want to pay for repairs, buying a new one is now an option. Note, however, that the Gamepad itself is region-locked, so it won’t work with your PAL or NTSC Wii U.
