The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was featured during The Game Awards 2016 pre-show as promised. A brand new trailer debuted, and we now have it below.

Even though the trailer wasn’t overly long, there will be plenty to dissect here between the glimpse of towns, new environments, and story beats. More Zelda is coming at The Game Awards’ full show later tonight.

The Game Awards 2016 will be beginning soon. If you’d like to watch the show as it happens, we have a handy stream link below.

To clarify what’s happening: the pre-show is taking place a half hour early at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET / 1:30 AM in the UK / 2:30 AM in Europe. You won’t want to miss it, as Nintendo will be showing an “exclusive look” at Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we’ll be seeing something from Yacht Club Games. More on Zelda is supposedly coming during the show itself, and winners for the awards will be selected. It should be a fun night!

Moragami, a game developer from Hungary, is giving the toys-to-life experience a shot. Currently in development for the 3DS eShop and other platforms (including Switch potentially) is Inchvilles.

Inchvilles is an upcoming 3D action platformer that has players collecting all golden gems in various stages. Players can design in-game characters with an editor, and then order a real life, 3D-printed version for a small fee that will be delivered within ten days. While NFC isn’t involved, the figures can be scanned into the game. We’re waiting on further information about how the figures interact at the moment. That being said, we do know that they can be scanned to you or your friend’s game to share them.

Bandai Namco has finally revealed that Empoleon is making its way to the arcade version of Pokken Tournament. The character is due to be added on December 15.

A number of new Pokemon have joined Pokken Tournament over the past few months. Darkrai, Scizor, Croagunk were all added since July, though only in arcades. It remains to be seen whether the Wii U version of Pokken Tournament will be updated with these characters.

Note that Empoleon was not shown during a Niconico stream, so footage is currently unavailable. If any streams or gameplay pops up, we’ll bring that to you.

System: 3DS
Release date: December 2, 2016
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher Nintendo

Last September Nintendo graced us with a Mario fan’s dream when Super Mario Maker released for the Wii U. It gave veterans, newcomers, and creatives alike the power to build Mario levels at their own accord and release their inner Shigeru Miyamoto, as well as play brand new courses designed directly by Nintendo and gamers from around the world. Now the 3DS version of the game – revealed just a few months ago during a Nintendo Direct – is here for all to experience, and while it is identical in many ways, there are some things that differentiate it from its home console counterpart that alter the experience, for better or for worse.
