New Nintendo 3DS
Earlier this week,, it was announced that two special packs including a New Nintendo 3DS XL and Super Mario cover plates would be released on November 25th, just in time for Black Friday. What’s so special about those packs is that they will be sold $99, by far the cheapest a non-Nintendo 2DS model has ever been (officially).
Thanks to Amazon.com, we now have the boxart for both models:

Game Maker’s Toolkit
Here’s the latest episode of the Game Maker’s Toolkit, which is all about Nintendo this time around (and more precisely the “gameplay first” approach of the company):
New Nintendo 3DS XL
Here’s a promotional video for the three new colours for the New Nintendo 3DS XL, now available in Europe:
Yo-kai Watch
A few days ago, we learned that following the limited theatrical release in October, the first Yo-kai Watch movie would be broadcast on Disney XD in November. And yesterday, the official Twitter account for the Yo-kai Watch series has confirmed the news. The movie will air at the following timeslots:
- November 12th: 9AM ET/PT
- November 13th: 5PM ET/PT
- November 14th: 3.45PM ET/PT
To celebrate, some episodes from the second season of the anime series will be uploaded on YouTube starting next week. We can assume that, just like with those from the first season, the episodes will be region-locked.
