Two new Nintendo-related figures were shown off at Mega Hobby Expo 2016 Autumn earlier today. One is from Pokemon while the other is based on Mega Man.

First, an Ash figure with Charizard and Pikachu is on the way. It’s a part of MegaHouse’s G.E.M. Series and is slated for spring.

We also have a look at an upcoming product depicting a key moment from Mega Man X with Mega Man and Zero. Yoshihiro Iwamoto, who worked on the Mega Man X manga, is involved with the piece.

We’ve included a few photos of both figures below.

After speculation began that Beyond Good & Evil 2 being in development for Switch surfaced earlier in the year, Ubisoft finally confirmed that the game is happening. Series creator Michel Ancel began to tease the news by sharing various pieces of art created for the project. When asked about why he did that by Kotaku at Indiecade Europe, Ancel explained: “That was not a gimmick but a way to say ‘Look. The game exists and we can do it.'”

Interestingly, Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in the works since Rayman Legends shipped. But unfortunately, it won’t be complete any time soon. Ancel noted that it needs to be “more concrete” before a proper reveal, but it’s “a very serious development for Ubisoft.”

Rumor has it that Pokemon GO will be receiving a major update next month. Based on analysis of the game’s code done by people associated with web scanner PokeVS, 100 new normal and Legendary Pokemon will be added. That’s in addition to the possibility of player-versus-player battles, raising the Pokemon you catch similar to Tamagotchi pets, and trading.

GamesBeat, who reports on today’s story, says it’s unclear if Pokemon GO’s update will be dropped entirely at once over time. However, PokeVS’ before-and-after comparisons of the code indicated where the updates are expected to be implemented. Niantic told GamesBeat that the “Gen 2” is planned as an update, but didn’t share anything further.

Continue on below for the lineup of 100 Pokemon said to be coming to Pokemon GO.
