Back when the first Yo-kai Watch was nearing its launch in Japan, Level-5 released a demo on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It now looks like there are similar plans for the west.

Yesterday, a rating popped up on the Australian classification site for a Yo-kai Watch demo. Nintendo hasn’t said anything about this yet, but I suppose we’ll be hearing something soon!

Human Resource Machine is seeing a slight delay on Wii U. The title was originally on track for October 15, but it’s now been “delayed a week or so”.

Tomorrow Corporation wrote in an official site post:

“But looks like our North American Wii U version will be delayed a week or so – we’ll post an updated date here as soon as we get it. It’s totally our fault for submitting a little late, we just tried to fill the Nintendo version with too many mushrooms!”

We recently interviewed Tomorrow Corporation about Human Resource Machine. To read it in full, head on over here.

Pokemon Go was announced last month. We saw a trailer and received some information, but we don’t really know how the game will play. That should be changing very soon though. Niantic representative Evan Dexter told Slate a couple of weeks ago that more information would be shared in “mid-October”. It’s October 10 today, so an update shouldn’t be too far off.

Dexter said:

“We’re not quite ready to talk in more depth about Pokémon GO than what was revealed in the announcement press release and assets. Come mid-October we’ll be able to start going into more depth about our plans for the game, and about our plans for real world gaming overall.”

Pokemon Go is a new smartphone game coming from The Pokemon Company, Niantic, and Nintendo. It makes use of “real location information to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokemon.” The title is arriving sometime in 2016.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Those of you with North American 3DS systems can now pre-load The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes from the 3DS eShop. By purchasing the game now, you can download most of the data ahead of time. You’ll only need a small update when Tri Force Heroes comes out to begin playing.

I did want to point out a small other tidbit as well. The eShop listing says that the Circle Pad Pro is a supported feature, so there’s a handy piece of information for you!

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes launches later this month. The game is scheduled for release on October 23.

Thanks to Jeffery F for the tip.
