We have a couple of non-gaming updates pertaining to Pokemon Sun/Moon. Today’s news concerns the new anime and manga.

The Pokemon Sun/Moon is debuting in November. We’ve included a preview trailer below.

As for the manga, we now know that the name is Pokemon Horizon. Serialization kicks off in the latest issue of CoroCoro. It’s penned by Tenya Yabuno, who previously worked on Digimon V-Tamer and the Inazuma Eleven manga.

Dragon Quest has been around for 30 years, and Square Enix wants to share some facts with its fans with a new infographic. Head past the break for the number of games shipped, tidbits about Dragon Quest VII, and more.

The latest episode of Nintendo’s Japanese show Nyannyan Neko Mario Time has now gone live. We’ve included it below.

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.

Earlier this month, Nindies@Night was hosted for a second consecutive year. Various indie games were on display along with their developers. Nintendo has now put up a recap which you can watch below.

Following in the footsteps of Pokemon Origins, Pokemon Generations has been announced. It’s a new animated series that revisits each generation of the Pokemon games “to shed new light on some timeless moments.” We’ll see “the earliest days in the Kanto region to the splendor of the Kalos region”.

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.

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!”

Grasshopper Manufacture made Killer7 for the GameCube and PlayStation 2 in partnership with Capcom over a decade ago. Goichi Suda, known for his work on projects like No More Heroes, directed the game. Now he’s interested in seeing it return.

Speaking with Hardcore Gamer, Suda51 said:

Basically, you are staying faithful to the vision so that new audiences can see it as intended. That’s exciting. Are there any other old works that you have done that you are hoping to revisit, to give this type of remastering treatment?

I feel that Killer 7 is the hardest of my games to play. I want to and feel that I need to do something about that. A remake, or remaster or something like that… (Sly grin.)

The closing ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympics had a rather big tie-in to Nintendo. Mario was shown in a video clip, and Japan’s prime minister Shinzo Abe came out of a Warp Pipe dressed as Mario to ring in the next event in Tokyo.

Abe’s “cosplay” was received favorably. Heck, even the G20 leaders were praising him for it. However, some wondered why his outfit did not include Mario’s famous mustache.
