GameStop Expo 2016 will be hosted this week. Just like previous years, Nintendo will be in attendance, and a presentation should be delivered at some point.

Judging by new Snapchats from Kevin Pereira – former co-host of G4’s Attack of the Show! and last year’s Nintendo World Championships – he’ll be handling things for Nintendo. That makes sense, as it wouldn’t be the first time he’s done so.

Now, some folks are running wild with dreams of an NX reveal or something along those lines. While it’s not entirely impossible, it’s very much unlikely. We could hear about items such as new bundles or smaller product announcements, but the unveiling of the platform specifically at this event is improbable. In any case, there might be some Nintendo news this week – even if it’s small. We’ll see.

Thanks to Pocholo S for the tip.

Next week, DrinkBox’s Severed will land on the Wii U eShop. It’ll be the second release on Nintendo platforms from the indie developer. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition previously released on the Wii U eShop.

Regarding Guacamelee’s sales on Wii U, DrinkBox told NintendOn:

“We were very satisfied with the performance of Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition on the Wii U so are excited to be bringing Severed to the Wii U/3DS. I’m not sure if cross buy will boost the game’s sales but we really just wanted to give the Nintendo player base the option to decide how they wanted to enjoy Severed.”

DrinkBox was also asked about the possibility of Severed on NX or something new entirely. There’s nothing to announce, but the company does hope to work with the platform in the future.

“Maybe? We don’t even know what the NX is so it is impossible for us to say. What I can say is that we’ve been happy to work on the Wii U and 3DS so hopefully can continue that relationship with Nintendo’s NX – whatever it is!”

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS may have had one Square Enix character in Cloud, but Sora from Kingdom Hearts – another much-requested addition – was left off the roster. Fans are now looking to remedy that with a new skin.

Using Shulk as a base, it’s now possible to play as Sora in the Wii U version of Smash Bros. via modding. You can nab the download here. And for a closer look, watch the video below.

This month’s issue of CoroCoro has started to leak, bringing the latest Pokemon Sun/Moon news with it.

First, we have news about evolutions for Rockruff. The Pokemon becomes Lugarugan and has a different appearance based on it evolves during the day or night. Rockruff’s day form occurs when bathed in the rays of the sun. When full of the night’s power, it becomes the night form.

We also have a look at two Ultra Beasts called UB02, UB02 Beauty and UB02 Expansion. UB02 Expansion is shown appearing in Pokemon Sun, facing off against Tapu Koko and UB02 Beauty up against Tapu Koko in Pokemon Moon. While UB01’s name is a mystery, it may have a deep meaning.

In non-gaming news, CoroCoro also provides a first look at the Pokemon Sun/Moon anime, which will be airing in November. Ash will receive a Z-Ring and meet the Melemele Island Guardian, Tapu Koko. During the show, Ash is going to school and his goal is to graduate “like never before”.

For its next issue, CoroCoro teases that the magazine will show the true strengths of Type: Null.
