Dual Core released on the North American Wii U eShop last Thursday, but Gray Fin Studios isn’t done with the game yet. The indie developer talked a bit about what’s in store during a Reddit AMA today.

The first thing lined up for Dual Core is an update, which will “address a few bugs, and balance some difficulty issues.” Features such as off-TV play, more controller options, and online leaderboards are also “likely” for the future. New modes/levels haven’t been ruled out either, but “it really depends on how well the game doe”.

Retrotainment Games opened a Kickstarter last month in an attempt to fund its new game Haunted Halloween ’86: The Curse of Possum Hollow, which features a mix of platforming and beat ’em up gameplay. It was initially planned as only NES title, but it’s now confirmed for a current Nintendo platform as well.

The $5,000 Kickstarter goal was smashed out of the park, guaranteeing the NES version. Additionally though, a $20,000 Wii U stretch goal was reached.

You can get a better feel for Haunted Halloween ’86: The Curse of Possum Hollow on the Kickstarter page here.

Pokemon fans in Hong Kong aren’t pleased with how Nintendo is approaching Pikachu’s name in Sun/Moon. There’s a bit of a change happening with the two games, which will feature traditional and simplified Chinese in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. While different regions have featured their own translations to reflect local language and tradition in the past, that won’t be the case any longer.

Quartz sheds more light on the situation in a new article:

Now Nintendo wants to unify them: Pokémon in Greater China will be officially called ?????, or Jingling Baokemeng in Mandarin (Jingling means “spirit” or “elf,” and Baokemeng is a transliteration of Pokémon). Earlier in Hong Kong, it was ?????, Pet Little Elves (or Spirits), while in Taiwan, it was ????, Magic Babies.
