Nintendo Direct 3DS Summary

Nintendo have just wrapped up their out of nowhere 3DS focused Nintendo Direct. It was a global one with each region getting their own host and news.

I’ve tried to get all the news from them into this post so here goes.

Pokemon Sun & Moon

We start with Pokemon Sun & Moon. The first bit of news is a new Alolan form of Ratatta. We’re also shown new move mechanic called Z Move. Z-moves are specific to certain Pokemon.

There are also new 2DS bundles coming for Sun & Moon. And a bonus Pokemon Munchlax will be available for people who buy from launch. This Munchlax when evolved into Snorlax will have a special Z-Move.
