It was just a few days ago that we heard about another Puzzle & Dragons game for 3DS via CoroCoro. Thanks to a newly-emerged scan, the title is confirmed to be “Puzzle & Dragons X”.

The scan, pictured above, admittedly doesn’t show a ton. It looks like we have a first look at the main character who is capable of turning into a knight. Aside from that, a pair of monsters are depicted.

Puzzle & Dragons X is heading to the 3DS in Japan next year. More information about the project should be shared soon.

Yesterday’s Famitsu scans featured quite an extensive look at Monster Hunter X. Most of the focus was on monster variants which are, well, variants of existing monsters with different looks and behavior patterns. Adam Evanko AKA Gaijinhunter took an in-depth look at the Famitsu scans in a video which you can find below, but here’s a small overview of the monster variants detailed in the magazine:

• Darkflame Rathalos: lots of airtime and new breath attacks
• Deadly Princess Rathian: focuses on poison attacks
• Crimson Bear Arzuros: characteristic red mane, powerful attacks with his arms
• Fortress Daimyo: high defense, hard to crack
• Bouldercrusher Tetsucabra: berserk, powerful jaw attacks
• Whitegale Nargacuga: really fast, shoots shockwaves when it attacks
• Gold Thunder Zinoger: has undergone an “awakening” and now has powerful homing lightning attacks
