Square Enix is cramming in extra content for Dragon Quest Monsters 2 after players complete the main adventure.

First, you’ll be given the opportunity to make monsters with Slime or Giga bodies. SS rank monsters can be created as well. If that wasn’t enough, Marvelous Keys – used to unlock different parts of Malta Castle – can be made and shared through StreetPass.

Nintendo is working on a new update for Band Brothers P, which will introduce a variety of new features. In the future, players will be able to play with friends directly online. Further interface updates are planned as well.

Shortly after last week’s Japanese Nintendo Direct, Band Brothers P owners were able to begin uploading their musical efforts to YouTube through the Suppon H?s? Channel (Suppon Broadcasting Channel). Nintendo also sent out a free eShop app that allows for Download Play.
