Rumor: Nintendo to revive third-parties games for 3DS, Seaman included
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
Nikkei published a new report today with regard to Nintendo and third-party titles. Andriasang reports that the company has plans “to revive other publisher’s titles on the 3DS as part of a strategy to bring new strong titles to the system.”
How will Nintendo begin this strategy? By reviving Sea Man of course!
The first Seaman title was released for the Dreamcast. There was a followup for the PlayStation 2, and creator Yoot Saito has hinted at a new Seaman project for 3DS.
We’ll let you know how this rumor develops…

Rumor: Pokemon game announcement this week
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
Junichi Masuda is a pretty important dude. He’s been directing the Pokemon RPGs for quite awhile, and obviously has had a big impact on the series. So when Masuda says something about Pokemon, it usually makes sense to pay attention.
Recently, Masuda was asked about the third game in the Black/White generation. He replied by saying that fans should watch Pokemon Smash.
He said:
“Well, there’s no reason to expect me to know that [about a third version] [crowd laughs] but I can’t answer. But…but… I wonder if it’s alright to say this….watch Pokemon Smash…if you want details”
That’s not all. Masuda posted the following to his Twitter account yesterday:
“Don’t forget to watch next week’s Pokemon Smash!!!! For people who can’t watch it, check out my tweets!!!”
Does this mean we can expect a Pokemon game announcement on Sunday…?
