Nintendo Everything has spotted a rating in Taiwan that reveals the existence of what appears to be a brand new entry in the Scribblenauts franchise. Scribblenauts Showdown is coming to Switch in addition to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, according to the classification.

The listing doesn’t tell us much, but it provides a very small look at some key art (and potential boxart) depicting main character Maxwell and his sister Lily. Aside from that, the classification only states that Warner Bros. is publishing, 5th Cell is on board once again as the developer, and it will be a puzzle game. Again, nothing overly exciting, but the news itself is very significant.

Plenty of attention has been given to the new release of the NVIDIA Shield in China, and understandably so. One big aspect is that a few Wii games are playable on the device, with more to come (and GameCube games to boot).

We heard yesterday that these titles are streamed, and aren’t actually ports. However, it appears that the initial information was a mistake. An NVIDIA rep has stepped forward, saying that this “has been talked about internally.” The Nintendo titles “are running natively, are remastered, and look great.”

The Wii games available on the NVIDIA Shield in China run at a 1080p resolution. New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Punch-Out!!, and Super Mario Galaxy have started the Nintendo partnership. 

Thanks to Justin for the tip.

Pokemon GO’s roster of Pokemon is likely expanding very soon. An ad for a new round of Gen 3 Pokemon has been spotted, signaling that Niantic will have more to add in the near future.

The ad, pictured above, comes from the Apple Watch App Store. While the text is the same as the Halloween event, the Pokemon are not. Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip from Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire should be on the way soon, along with other potential Pokemon.
