Nintendo held a Nintendo Direct presentation today for both North America and Europe, primarily focusing on upcoming releases for the Nintendo 3DS. The presentations for both regions began with a quick look at Pokémon Sun & Moon, including the reveal of the Normal/Dark Alolan form of Rattata. It also showed off more of the game's new special Z-moves, with the announcement that those who buy Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon before January 11, 2017, will receive a Munchlax equipped with a Z-crystal. When the Munchlax evolves into Snorlax, this will let it do the Z-move Pulverizing Pancake. Pokémon Sun & Moon are due out for Nintendo 3DS in North America on November 19, 2016, and in Europe on November 23, 2016.

Switching to another long-running series, it was also revealed that the Wii title The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is being released for the Wii U eShop today, shortly after the presentation's conclusion.
