Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
As of today, we’re only two weeks away from the big Switch presentation in January. Following the console’s full reveal, it is expected that Nintendo will start heavily advertising the system, and many stores will likely start accepting preorders for the Switch. It seems like Australia already got a head start – official Switch adverts have started to appear in JB Hi-Fi stores across the country, though they only appear to be using images from the Switch teaser trailer. Nintendo will likely send out new and updated adverts, banners etc. to be displayed after the January event.

Pilot from cancelled Trauma Team live-action TV series apparently surfaces
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 7 Comments
Back in 2010, Instavision announced plans for a live-action TV series based on Atlus’ Wii game Trauma Team. Even though it sounded fairly ambitious in what all sides were hoping to achieve, it never got off the ground.
A video has now been uploaded to YouTube which seems to show the pilot. It was an early cut, meaning music and video edits were likely temporary. As for the show itself, the YouTube description states: “Four young medical prodigies are forced underground and become vigilante doctors by forming a renegade clinic to help desperate patients who have nowhere else to turn.”
Here’s the actual pilot:
And the lineup of actors:
Brandon Quinn as Ike Pratt
Eden Riegel as Taylor Rutske
Julie Mond as Vanessa Herrera
Erin Foster as Kate Finley
Jackson Davis as Pierce Miller
Armando Cosio as Mr. Mendoza
So that’s that. An interesting piece of history for Atlus and gaming as a whole – nothing more, as the TV series never went anywhere.
Thanks to Jack for the tip.

Amazon has issued an official announcement about sales on its website during the holiday period. According to the press release, Pokemon Sun, Pokemon Moon, and Final Fantasy XV were named as best sellers under video games.
Amazon also shared a neat tidbit about Nintendo and Game Freak’s new 3DS titles. “If each Amazon.com customer who purchased Pokemon Sun and Moon this holiday spent at least an hour a day playing the game since its release, our customers would have spent the equivalent of more than 24 thousand lunar cycles capturing Pokemon,” the retailer said.
