Nintendo UK has released a new trailer for the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System. It shows off many of the games included, as well as features like its menus and suspend points. Play with power below:

Prismatic provided an update on Hex Heroes, their upcoming Wii U title. Their last update has mentioned how Wii U development meant that the game had to be rebuilt from the ground up, and the latest update shows how that fundamental rework changed the combat. It’s a pretty lengthy read, although worth checking out. The short version is that the combat is real-time but uses the game’s hex grids, with both the player and the enemies locked to a grid and telegraphing their attacks to the different hexagonal spaces.

Google Cloud’s Luke Stone wrote up a blog today and included a graph that gives us another look at just how much Pokemon GO smashed through expectations. An estimated target and worst case scenario were considered, but as you can see, both were shattered.
