Pic of the day. Looking at the number of days we have left for development, it would be an impossible task to create this… That's what I told my staff. But thanks to the determination of her female designer, these Zero Suit outfits got completed in time. From the ending of Metroid: Zero Mission, here's Samus in shorts! Here's a look at the 3DS version. You can use the same outfit variations in both the 3DS and Wii U versions.

They would need approval from Nintendo for that.

Yep, and they're porting the PC game to the iPad too, which is causing the entire Internet to explode in ridiculous "Nintendo making games on iPad" bull.

It's very likely to be a game. Famitsu's stream is always about a game and it's listed as "Game - Other" on the Japanese site. As for likelihood it coming to the west is high. Only a handful of Pokémon games have not made it out of Japan. Here's the list: Pokémon Stadium (The first one had really limited functionality, so they held off) Pokémon Card Game GB2: Here Comes Team Great Rocket (Came out just when the issues between Wizards of the Coast and Pokémon Company started, so rights prevented it) Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare (No idea why this never made it) Band of Thieves & 1000 Pokémon (Ok, this could still make it, but it's unlikely. It requires so many StreetPasses to succeed) There was also Pokémon Card Game: How To Play DS and Pokémon Tretta Lab, but they were just utilities to support other things, i.e. the TCG and Pokémon Tretta.

Reason enough to not do it :p

Way too soon for that though. They said they were aiming for Summer 2015. Spin-off games also tend to just have a couple of months from reveal to release. I'll be long in the cold cold ground before a big developer actually gets ahead of schedule in development of a game. I would love a Wii U Ranger. Imagine it, with the capture on the GamePad while things happen on the TV

The gameplay is horrific. It's just poor. You can spend an hour in a dungeon, but then lose and have nothing to show for your time.

More than a Dungeon game? Yes.

Over another Dungeon game? Yes

Dash was more fun :p

And yet rumours continue to persist

Bring it on :p I am 100% certain that Emerald is not coming out for the Wii U

That's largely why I don't think it's out yet. I think it was meant to be out this summer, but was delayed and then would be too close to Smash. Emerald for Wii U won't happen.

Maybe Pokken. My thoughts are that it's either Pokken, and the two special guests that are unknown are Namco devs like Harada, and us knowing it would give away the surprise. Or, it's Great Detective Pikachu, but it is too early for that (set for Summer 2015 launch), and that has voice acting in which is why there are voice actors there. Either those or it's something totally new. Definitely not main series, though.

Game Freak only make the main series games, so it wouldn't be them anyway

Japanese doesn't have the same pun in their language for it as we do. Shocking just means surprising

It has been announced that a special stream is to be held on August 26th at 10pm JST (2pm BST, 9am EDT) called Monthly Famitsu feat. Pokémon Special. It is not known what this project is, whether it's a game, a new manga etc., but they say it's a shocking announcement This stream will be hosted by Ayana Tsubaki & Bunbun-maru and features special guests Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of The Pokémon Company, as well as Nobuhiko Okamoto & Aoi Yuuki, who voiced Iris in the anime, and two currently unknown special guests. All previous "Monthly Famitsu feat. " presentations appear to be game related, so... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%E6%9C%88%E5%88%8A%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%9F%E9%80%9Afeat

Pic of the day. Nightmare Wizard appears as an Assist Trophy! He will engulf the stage in darkness, and fighters will need to brawl blindly for a while. Look out for the effect before it goes dark, and play it to your advantage. Blinding and reversal effects even make the computer players mess up.

Just messing with you guys :p Though Brawl has better characters and even many better stages. The tripping mechanic is what annoys me.

Well, Brawl is better than Melee

Pokémon is the exception :p

Na. I won't play this game because it's turn-based

It's also worth noting that, like the PC version, this is likely to be free and just sustained on the income from the booster packs in real life

Yeah, nobody loves the second best selling video game franchise of all time :p
