According to Slice Intelligence, the paying population of Pokemon GO has declined by 79% since July of 2016.

The mobile game industry is a notoriously fickle one, as it seems even the titanic Pokemon GO is losing some of its thunder. The number of in-game buyers within Pokemon GO has decreased by 79% since July 15th, and Pokemon GO is no longer more profitable than all other mobile games combined. Despite this, Pokemon GO still maintains its position as the most profitable mobile game on the market. Specifically, it has generated around six times more revenue than the second most profitable mobile game in the month of August.

GameStop Expo 2016 will be hosted this week. Just like previous years, Nintendo will be in attendance, and a presentation should be delivered at some point.

Judging by new Snapchats from Kevin Pereira – former co-host of G4’s Attack of the Show! and last year’s Nintendo World Championships – he’ll be handling things for Nintendo. That makes sense, as it wouldn’t be the first time he’s done so.

Now, some folks are running wild with dreams of an NX reveal or something along those lines. While it’s not entirely impossible, it’s very much unlikely. We could hear about items such as new bundles or smaller product announcements, but the unveiling of the platform specifically at this event is improbable. In any case, there might be some Nintendo news this week – even if it’s small. We’ll see.

Thanks to Pocholo S for the tip.

Next week, DrinkBox’s Severed will land on the Wii U eShop. It’ll be the second release on Nintendo platforms from the indie developer. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition previously released on the Wii U eShop.

Regarding Guacamelee’s sales on Wii U, DrinkBox told NintendOn:

“We were very satisfied with the performance of Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition on the Wii U so are excited to be bringing Severed to the Wii U/3DS. I’m not sure if cross buy will boost the game’s sales but we really just wanted to give the Nintendo player base the option to decide how they wanted to enjoy Severed.”

DrinkBox was also asked about the possibility of Severed on NX or something new entirely. There’s nothing to announce, but the company does hope to work with the platform in the future.

“Maybe? We don’t even know what the NX is so it is impossible for us to say. What I can say is that we’ve been happy to work on the Wii U and 3DS so hopefully can continue that relationship with Nintendo’s NX – whatever it is!”

Using Shulk as a base, it’s now possible to play as Sora in the Wii U version of Smash Bros. via modding. You can nab the download here. And for a closer look, watch the video below.
