Now on with the video:

Update: Added more screenshots. The Japanese page also reveals new character Girii, who is the Super-Secret Bases master.

A new/returning feature has been revealed for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire: “Super-Secret Bases”.

In the 3DS remakes, players can create a Secret Base all to their own. You’ll be able to select and place Decorations, use Decorations to create tricks in your Secret Base, decide the rules for what kind of Pokemon battles are allowed there, and make it like your very own Pokemon Gym. Players can challenge you here as well.

First screenshots from the Super-Secret Bases can be found above. An official post from the Pokemon website with a bunch of additional information is located below.

Palutena gets the spotlight twice today as Sakurai shows off her huge up-smash attack:

I talked about an attack with a far reach in yesterday’s post, but it didn’t compare to Palutena’s up smash attack! No joke, it reaches really far. It reached so far in this shot that even the rocketbarrels got blown up.

However, it appears it’s not without drawbacks:

That said, if we’re talking just about range, even that can’t beat Palutena’s power, Heavenly Light. It has quite a damage field. However, this is a no-flinch attack, which means the opponents won’t react to the damage!

Also worth noting, Dragon Quest X for 3DS makes use of streaming technology. 3D will not be supported.

Update: There might be more to this update than originally thought. Check out this interesting tweet from developer Syrenne McNulty:

Nintendo has released a new system update for 3DS, bringing the firmware up to version 8.0.0-18. It’s nothing too major though – Nintendo’s website states that it makes “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments” in order “to enhance the user experience”.

Note that you’ll need to download today’s firmware in order to access the 3DS eShop.

Today’s screenshot features the Mii Gunner once again, as Sakurai explains one of the possible attacks available to Mii fighters:

The Mii Gunner’s side smash attack may have the farthest reach of all the side smashes…as should be expected from a firearms expert!! Looks like the attack missed this time, though.
