Bear Box Media has announced Scribble, a Pictionary-inspired game for the Wii U eShop. It’s targeted for release before the holidays at a $4 / €4 / £3 price point.

Here’s a rundown of Scribble, straight from the developer:

It comes with over 1500 words from 17 categories, such as Objects, Places and People, and of course the customary “Difficult” category. However, it also includes an “Easy mode” category, customised specifically for children, meaning kids can play alongside adults and still take part in both drawing and guessing.

Scribble includes 5 unique modes for up to 8 players: Versus mode (all against all), Teams (Red VS Blue, team sizes 2-6), Elimination (Players take turns drawing until someone fails to guess their picture, at which point they are eliminated from the game (but can still guess other pictures)), Barricade (Blockbusters inspired mode, in which teams try to reach the opposite side of a board from their starting point) and Tug’O’Draw (A team game, but everyone guesses. Whichever team guesses scores the point, and the other team loses one. First to reach 10 points, wins.)

Update: Updates for Tuesday have begun.

Original: Even though Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon aren’t launching until next Friday, the leaks have begun. It would appear that someone has managed to obtain a retail copy ahead of release. Earlier in the day, that person began playing through the game and sharing images/information online. We’ll probably be hearing about similar reports in the days to come.

It’s going to be a long couple of weeks before Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are officially made available. With that in mind, we’ve set up a single post where leaked material will be contained. We won’t be sharing any content that early players provide anywhere else on the site. If you’re up for spoilers, continue on below.

This past weekend, we added some comments to the site about Capcom’s approach to Switch. The responses have now been official translated and posted on the company’s investor relations website. We have the full remarks rather than summaries.

First, when asked about Capcom’s stance regarding developing for Switch, the publisher said:

“It is excellent to have the market invigorated with new hardware launches. As a software publisher, we endeavor to develop games that offer enjoyment best suited to each piece of hardware’s features and target users. Following first party, in order to introduce our own content we are currently moving forward with internal planning and analysis as a partner company.”

Next, here’s what Capcom said about developing multiplatform titles on Switch:

“We are currently carrying out research with regards to multiplatform implementation of software for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on to the Nintendo Switch and thus are unable to comment at this moment. However, we do feel that there are differences in the desired direction and the play-style of the Nintendo Switch and those of the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. At Capcom, we determine which platform to release a title for after considering the features of both our software and the hardware in question, believing we must bring the enjoyment of our games to their maximum potential.”
