Suda51 recently expressed interest in seeing Killer7 return in the form of a remaster / remake. That’s not the only franchise he’d like to bring back, however. Destructoid has heard from James Mountain – who is working with Suda51 on The Silver Case – that Suda5 would like to remaster No More Heroes. If this is something that he’d pursue, it’d be for the Wii title – not the PlayStation 4/Xbox 360 versions.

18 episodes of Pokemon Generations will air each week through December 23. You can expect each one to be around three to five minutes long.

Here’s a trailer:

The first two episodes of Pokemon Generations debuts this Friday at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe on The Pokemon Company’s YouTube channel. Check out some art below.

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.
