Pokemon: The Movie – Volcanion and The Ingenious Magearna debuted in Japan earlier today. At the end of the film, viewers were able to see a teaser for next year’s release. The three starters from Pokemon Sun/Moon (Rowlet, Litten and Popplio) were shown in the brief clip. It was also emphasized that this will be the 20th Pokemon movie.
Pokemon movies have been produced yearly starting in 1998. It’s no surprise to see that tradition continuing!

Pokemon GO – Vaporeon appearance in Central Park causes a stampede
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Mobile, Random, Videos | 33 Comments
Update: If that wasn’t enough, here’s a video from earlier in the week when people were going nuts in Washington’s Downtown Park (Bellevue) after a Squirtle appeared:
Continuing the insanity that is Pokemon GO, a stampede formed in New York’s Central Park last night when players came across Vaporeon. This isn’t the easiest creature to catch, so when it was detected at around 11 PM, the crowd went into a frenzy.
Again, we’re not going to be posting too many off-beat news posts stemming from Pokemon GO, but things like this are tough to resist. It’s just crazy seeing the types of things happening!

The Famicom – where we know it here in the west as the NES – is celebrating its 33rd birthday today. Nintendo shipped out the console way back on July 15, 1983. The Famicom is really what started it all for Nintendo, so things wouldn’t have been the same today without it!

Earlier this week, it was rumored that someone had found a U.S. version of the 64DD peripheral for the Nintendo 64. Jason Lindsey, who came across the item, has now posted a video explaining how he found it, which looks to be a prototype. Lindsey even shows the 64DD running by initiating the boot sequence. The whole video is quite interesting, so we definitely recommend you give it a watch!
