SEGA’s latest trailer for Hero Bank has revealed a bunch of new information about Hero Bank. The latest details roundup can be found below.

– Kaito Gosho needs to pay off his billion yen debt
– Kaito Gosho enters himself into the Hero Bank to make cash
– Hero Bank is a virtual world where money is king and robots spit out cash when you punch them up in fights to the finish
– Spend money to make money
– Trigger a special attack that’s paid for with your earnings
– Need cash in order to block
– Getting change requires you to run around the ring, which is like a breather moment for both sides
– When this happens, the ring will periodically fill with cash thrown in by spectators
– As you unleash attacks on foes, you’ll also dash cash out of them that you can then scoop up to fuel further attacks
– Seems that players move and fight with the touch screen
– Stand on one of the corners of the rings to exhort the crowd
– At certain points, you’ll also be able to transform into different heroes
– These include a salaryman robot and a middle-aged aunty robot
– Once the enemy’s hit points are depleted, you can pin them for the winning fall and then take your earnings

Update: Nintendo has provided the following statement:

“There seems to be some buzz online today about the launch date of Super Smash Bros. We would like to clarify that the speculation about a Spring 2014 launch date for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U was the result of a misquotation in an interview. The original article has since been rectified and we have no further announcements to make at this time.”

Original: So much for that supposed spring release for the next Super Smash Bros. German outlet Nintendo-Online has received confirmation from Nintendo that the game doesn’t have a set timeframe for launch.

Yesterday, talk of Smash’s release date surfaced after Bernd Fakesch, general manager of Nintendo of Germany, said it would be out in addition to Mario Kart 8 in the spring. Mario Kart 8 is still on track for spring 2014 – as it always has been – but that’s not the case for Smash Bros.

Sony Pictures may own the feature film rights for the Sonic franchise. Several movie-related domains were registered last week, including sonicthehedgehog-movie.com, sonicthehedgehog-movie.net and sonicthehedgehogmovie.net. If there were to be a Sonic film – which hasn’t been announced and isn’t likely at present – it would probably be an animated effort from Sony Pictures Animation.
