We don’t know much about the fifth generation of Pokemon games other than a few basic facts. The next issue of CoroCoro should provide more concrete details, though. A notice in the latest magazine promises that new information will be shared next month. CoroCoro has obtained major scoops about Pokemon titles in the past, so there it’s possible that the news in the next issue will be significant.

Thanks to RareNintendo for the news tip!

Hm…What can it be? It’s not tied-in to Nintendo Power’s upcoming announcement, as that will be a Wii title. Personally, I’d be extremely pleased if a sequel to The World Ends with You was unveiled!

Thanks to Robert for the news tip!

This information comes from the Official Nintendo Magazine Twitter, providing live updates from the BAFTAs…

“ONM is at the BAFTAs! Miyamoto just told us Pikmin 3 development is ‘well under way.'”

This isn’t the biggest news, but that’s all I really needed to hear! We haven’t heard much about the game since last year, when Miyamoto said that the team had finished the basics of Pikmin 3. I wonder if we’ll see the title in a few months at E3.

“There’s tremendous support for Wii MotionPlus. First, what it would highlight is that ‘Wii Sports Resort’ continues to sell exceptionally well. In addition to that you’re seeing some fantastic third party support. ‘Red Steel 2’…about to come out. And from a first party perspective we showed ‘Fling Smash.’ There are more titles that are coming, it continues to be a core part of what we do. But I guess what’s unique with Nintendo is we don’t force our developers to stick to a particular type of control scheme, and you’ve seen that. Everything from the new ‘Metroid’ title to be single remote driven to ‘Fling Smash’ utilizing the Wii MotionPlus. So it’s all about what’s right for the game.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

There haven’t been a ton of games released that use MotionPlus, but then again, not a whole lot of titles have needed it. If a game works well with just the Wiimote, then it’d be silly to add MotionPlus support. We know of one big game coming out this month that uses it, though – Red Steel 2. That game is seeing a huge improvement in accuracy thanks to the peripheral.
