The latest issue of CoroCoro just leaked out over the weekend, and it revealed a bunch of exciting information about Pokemon X/Y. It’ll likely be a few days before we receive official information and screenshots, but you can get a slightly better look at the content highlighted in CoroCoro below:

As far as future updates go, the latest CoroCoro promises even more Pokemon X/Y details in its next issue. The magazine should be out in about a month’s time, but for now, we can look forward to an official update in just a few days.

How much did Injustice: Gods Among Us sell in the US last month? We won’t know until Thursday when the NPD Group publishes its latest data, but research firm Cowen & Company has offered an estimate of its own.

Injustice: Gods Among Us moved roughly 424,000 units across the US in April, the company reports. Cowen & Company has reason to believe that Injustice was the only game to sell over 250,000 units. The breakdown of sales between the release platforms is unknown, but we should get a better idea on Thursday.

Don’t count on a Wii U version of Skullgirls happening anytime soon.

According to the game’s official Twitter account, a release on the console “isn’t looking likely”. Skullgirls could, however, be considered for Wii U assuming “sales pick up” and Nintendo is able to “establish a digital presence”.

EA came out with a fighter for the likes of the SNES and SEGA Genesis based on the NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal way back in 1994. Nearly two decades later, could a follow-up of sorts be in the works?

Siliconera has come across a series of new trademarks known as “Shaqfighter” filed by the same company that runs “Shaq.com”. The items are related to video games, online games, computer game software, and action skill games.

It isn’t immediately clear what these trademarks could/will be used for, but it would be pretty amazing to see another Shaq fighter after all this time.
