New Pokémon ORAS Trailer Featuring Info from December CoroCoro Scans

Well, that was fast. A brand new trailer was released today that shows off all of the information that we learned from the CoroCoro leaks yesterday. Only, this time with a little more detail. As I stated yesterday, I’m using the “Continue Reading” tag to hide spoilers if you want to keep yourself in the dark, so again, there’ll be no specifics unless you click below and choose whether or not you want to read them.

Anyway, if you want to know more, click below to read about my thoughts and opinions on this new trailer.

December CoroCoro Scan Reveals New Information About Pokémon ORAS

Here we go again with what will likely be the last big batch of reveals about Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire before its release. The latest batch of CoroCoro scans from the December issue show off a bit more information about the games than we know before and likely this will be followed up by an official reveal in a few days. However, with the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire so close, I’ve decided to hide any news about the games behind the “Continue Reading” tab so that anyone choosing to remain spoiler-free can choose to do so. In addition, I’ve decided that the week prior to ORAS’ release I will not post any potential news about the game as I will likely be avoiding spoilers myself. As for my review on the game, you can expect that, as well as a review of Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U, about 1-2 weeks following the release.

All right. Enough business. Click below if you’d like to hear about the latest reveals from the December CoroCoro Scan.

Next Wave of Amiibos Announced!

Here’s a short post to let you know that Nintendo has just announced what characters will be included in the next wave of amiibo figures in this trailer.

We already know that Luigi, Pitt, Little Mac, Diddy Kong, Zelda, and Captain Falcon were slated for a December release just in time for the holiday season. But now we know who will be released after them.

In February in North America, Toon Link, Sheik, Ike, Shulk, Lucario, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Rosalina and Luma, Bowser, Sonic, and Mega Man amiibos will be released. It was also revealed some of these figures will only be available in certain stores. Though they were vague on which figures were exclusive to where, I have to guess that some will only be available at stores like GameStop and ToysRUs, though that’s just a guess.
I hope these figures look just as good as they do in the trailer. Some people have been claiming they aren’t as high quality as they looked when they were first introduced and that disappoints me, but I still have yet to see for myself how true these claims are.

Regardless, this next wave of figures is my favorite one thus far and I’ll likely pick up quite a few of these for my collection.

That’s it for now, but check back later for more Nintendo news and reviews.

Until then,

Edit: GameStop’s website revealed that Shulk will be one of their exclusive amiibo figures.

Summary of Nintendo Direct- 11-5-14

There was another exciting Direct today and just like we’ve come to expect from Nintendo it was full of cool new information and a couple surprises. Click here if you want to watch the Direct for yourself before reading.

The first surprise—though this has been long speculated—was the reveal of The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask 3D for the 3DS and 2DS. The much anticipated remake of the N64 classic is due to release in Spring of 2015. It seems to be rather faithful to the original, but it’s said that the game will be accessible to new players as well.

The next game discussed was Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Almost all of the talk about this game was focused on the battle mechanics and explaining the depth that each fight can have. Additionally, they also highlighted four of the game’s characters: the main character Henry Fleming, the Lion from Oz, Tiger Lilly (from Peter Pan, I believe), and Tom Sawyer (from, of course, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer). The game is slated for a release in Spring 2015 which is soon shaping up to be a busy time of the year for Nintendo.
