Nintendo announces PokePark Wii Pikachu’s Great Adventure
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Nintendo just finished hosting a retailer meeting, in which a few announcements were made. For the most part, there weren’t any huge surprises, other than some sort of new Pokemon title. According to well-known Japanese blog Sinobi, PokePark Wii Pikachu’s Great Adventure was revealed, although actual details seem to be unavailable at the current moment. I’d imagine it’s a WiiWare title, however, as the game will be releasing on December 5. We’ll fill you in with additional information as it becomes available.
