Pokkén Tournament
At the Pokémon World Championships (that incidentally is concluding with the Finals Round today), it was revealed that the arcade fighting game Pokkén Tournament will be coming to the Wii U next year in Spring. Also announced was a brand new character for the game—Pikachu Libre, based off of the Cosplay Pikachu from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. This means that the roster, as of now, contains of Lucario, Machamp, Suicune, Gardevoir, Gengar, Charizard, Blaziken, Weavile, Pikachu, and, of course, Pikachu Libre.
Splatoon
For Splatoon, we had the release of a brand new stage this week—Flounder Heights. But, in addition to that, it was also revealed that the next Splatfest theme will be inspired by Hasbro’s Transformers. It’s Autobots vs. Decepticons! This is an exciting Splatfest for many because it seems to open the doors to many different Spaltfest possibilities in the future featuring other brands. The Splatfest itself will take place on August 28th for 24 hours starting at 9 p.m. PST.
Believe it or not, that about it raps it up. News has been slow lately, but I’ll be sure to post again soon with another summary of the major Nintendo headlines.
Until Then,
