A brand new Pokemon title has been revealed through the latest episode of NHK’s “Professional—Style of Work” program. Details are still coming in, but it’s a detective title that has players partnering with Pikachu.

The unnamed game’s total development is expected to be two years, according to The Pokemon Company president Tsunekaz Ishihara. In it, players will encounter a rare Pikachu, which is apparently the enemy players will take on, and Ishihara believes that people won’t end up liking it. Also planned for the game: a blue Pikachu and a talking Pikachu.

The new title is due out sometime in 2015.

We’ll bring you more as it comes.

Pokemon X and Y sold another 473,000 copies across Japan in its second week, but the game’s sales dropped by 75 percent. Before you get too concerned, keep in mind that this may sound more troubling than it actually is.

Pokemon Black/White experienced a similar drop, but not quite as steep. Sales of the DS games obtained higher first week sales with a 70 percent decrease in its second week.

Note that when Black/White launched, the DS had a userbase that was over twice the size as the 3DS’ total (30 million versus 13 million). Pokemon X and Y are also competing for gamers’ attention, as Monster Hunter 4 launched in Japan not too long ago.

We’ve previously posted about Prima’s Zelda: A Link Between Worlds game guide. But did you know the collector’s edition version comes with a framed lithograph? Amazon put up a photo of the lithograph, and it looks pretty neat.

You can currently purchase Prima’s Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Collector’s Edition guide from Amazon, a hardcover release, for just $4 more than the paperback edition. You can check it out right here.

The image above, a new item included in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, should look familiar. We shared the art a few weeks back. Since then, the item’s identity has been revealed. Head past the break for the reveal.

Update: Bumped to the front page – two more errors have been found.

Capcom has been known for making some rather strange errors over the years. Perhaps most infamous was the Okami Wii boxart incident, in which the game’s cover sported an IGN logo. We’ve also seen a number of prominent spelling errors like “Resident Evil: Revelaitons” – another boxart situation.

But it doesn’t stop there! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies has a few errors of its own. At least three have been spotted so far. You can find them all in the gallery above.

Remember: World Soccer Winning Eleven 2014 is essentially PES 2014, but for whatever reason, Konami opted to only release a 3DS game in Japan this year.
