As we mentioned earlier today, Satoru Iwata will be hosting broadcast to deliver news about Wii U games and services. It will be a bit different from the regular presentations, according to Iwata.

Note that while this is footage from the Vita version, Urban Trial Freestyle shouldn’t be much different on the 3DS.

A fan-driven Pokemon event was recently held in Chile, and it featured a somewhat out-of-the-blue Nintendo announcement.

The special Pikachu 3DS XL, previously released in Japan and Europe, was also confirmed for the Chile. This news may have implications for North America since Chile uses the same 3DS system as the US.

Does this mean Nintendo of America will be announcing the Pikachu 3DS XL for the states soon? We can only hope!

We’ll just call this game Resident Evil: Revelations… it’ll easier to distinguish it from the 3DS version.

LEGO City: Undercover is a big game. It features a large overworld that is probably bigger than the one included in LEGO Batman 2.

According to executive producer Loz Doyle, it will take players ten minutes just to drive a loop around Undercover’s city. The world is also made up of side roads, a ground level city, and more.

“It would take 10 minutes just to drive a loop of the city. That doesn’t even include exploring all the side roads and other regions. Not only is there the ground level city to explore but you can also get up on the rooftops where there is a whole load of additional gameplay.”
