Pokemon GO is available in a ton of different countries, but Niantic still hopes to expand the game to new regions. Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara said China and South Korea are targets. However, issues would need to be addressed with Google Maps, as its use is limited in both territories.

Ishihara also commented on the overall response to Pokemon GO. “I feel like the reaction we saw was 10 times or even 100 times bigger than we expected,” he said.

The Wall Street Journal reports that additional features were planned for Pokemon GO, such as player-to-player battles and character trades. These elements are now being saved for a later date.

Update (9/20): Despite what the original listing indicated, the adapter is not an official Nintendo product. Here’s the packaging:

Original (8/19): New Zealand retailer MightyApe has put up a listing for a new Nintendo-made 3DS AC adapter. It’s a wall plug with a separate 3DS charge cable that inserts into the plug through a USB input. Apparently, it will also be compatible with the NES Mini.

MightyApe includes a tentative September 30 release date. The product will cost $13.99.

MightyApe was actually the first retailer to list the new Fire Emblem Fates and Smash Bros. 3DS amiibo bundles, which we originally heard about yesterday and were confirmed earlier today. Nintendo may have something the new 3DS adapter soon.

About a year ago, we reported that Spanish developers MercurySteam once pitched a prototype for a new first-person Metroid game to Nintendo. This info came from Liam Robertson, who has uncovered tons of info on cancelled or never released games in the past.

Today, Eurogamer published an extensive interview with Enric Alvarez from MercurySteam and producer Dave Cox, who is working with them on their current project. The supposed Metroid prototype game is also briefly discussed – and dismissed by Alvarez:

Eurogamer: Is the rumour that you created a Metroid prototype for Wii U and 3DS also bullshit?
