Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a Kickstarter-funded RPG by SnowCastle Games that’s currently in the final stages of development. While it’s looking like the Wii U version won’t be the first one out the gate, SnowCastle Games are determined to release it as soon as possible. Here’s their statement from their latest Kickstarter update:

We are dead set on getting the game out on Wii U. We believe our backers deserve it and on the contrary to what some say, we also believe there is still a Wii U market worth pursuing. How long it takes we don’t know, but we really, really want to launch on Wii U in good time before the holiday season. (That means November)

The preview images for this week’s issue of Famitsu revealed something quite interesting – namely, the announcement of RPG Maker Fes for Nintendo 3DS.

We will have to wait for more details until we get our hands on proper scans of this week’s issue tomorrow, but judging from the small preview images, this is looking like a classic entry in the RPG Maker series. In case you’re not familiar with it, the RPG Maker series allows you to, well, make your own RPGs, even if you have no programming or game design experience. While the series has mostly been on PC, there were also a few console and handheld versions, including one for Nintendo DS.

We have no details on a release date at the moment, and there’s no word on a Western release yet.

Japanese publication V-Jump stealthily released some new gameplay footage of Pokemon Sun & Moon today. However, it doesn’t show any new Pokemon or battles – instead, it shows a way to earn some money on Alola. The footage shows the male trainer undertaking a part-time job at a beach tossing some stranded Pyukumuku back into the ocean. Pyukumuku, a recently revealed new Pokemon, are slippery, slimy creatures that won’t budge from a spot they’ve taken a liking to, not even to hunt for food. To prevent them from starving, the people of Alola toss them back into the sea.

The gameplay footage shows exactly that – the trainer walks around the beach and interacts with the stranded Pyukumuku, clearing the beach of them. This turns out to be pretty lucrative – the trainer is rewarded with a whopping 20,000 Pokedollars at the end, which is quite a lot, especially early on in the adventure. If this part-time job is repeatable, this could turn out to be a pretty nice way to farm money.
