With the Pokemon I Choose You! movie coming out it seems that the original cap Ash’s Pikachu is being distributed now to celebrate. The code is PIKACHU20 to land your special Pikachu. This Pikachu also comes with a special Z-crystal Pikashunium Z.

You will only get to choose on of the special Pikachu caps, so if this isn’t the one you want you best wait a bit longer.

System: Switch
Release date: September 22, 2017
Developer:: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Nintendo

In what feels like an annual tradition now, Pokken Tournament will be making another debut following its initial 2015 release in arcades, then 2016 for Wii U, and now in 2017 on Switch. While the Wii U version was missing a few Pokemon from the arcade version for whatever reason, the game itself presented a fun and unique take on mixing great elements from Tekken and Soulcalibur and infusing them with the world of Pokemon. For fighting fans and Pokemon enthusiasts, it was a great game to own and add to your Wii U library, and, while not entirely robust, certainly kept the attention and fun for a while following its release. The Switch port, Pokken Tournament DX, aims to be the “deluxe”, or definitive, version of the game much like how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is. But unlike Mario Kart 8 Deluxe where it felt like a genuine upgrade on Switch riding its way from the Wii U, Pokken Tournament DX fails to deliver any plausible reason to jump in for round 2 unless you didn’t own a Wii U or skipped out the first time around.

Azure Striker Gunvolt developer Inti Creates has revealed another new game for Switch. This winter, we’ll be seeing the shooter Gal*Gun 2 on Nintendo’s console.

The premise of Gal*Gun 2 involves a young man “who accidentally becomes supernaturally popular with girls.” You’ll be searching for his one true love in the game using the Pheromone Shot. Since all of the girls at at his academy want their chance to be with him, they “will do whatever they can to express their love”. That’s where the Pheromone Shot comes into play. You’ll need to use the weapon to fend off the girls’ advances by “by giving them euphoria”.

We’ve confirmed with Sidebar Games that Golf Story will be playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. The big expo kicks off on Thursday for business partners / the press, though it will be open to the public this weekend.

Sidebar Games has been very busy as of late, understandably so. The developer has been partially preoccupied with preparing Golf Story’s TGS demo as well as “some other things”. However, we were told that “there isn’t much left to do now”.

As far as a release date goes, Sidebar Games is keeping quiet on that front. The last official window we have is September. We asked about a final date, but Sidebar Games wasn’t ready to share that information with us just yet.

Another 3DS update is now available. Nintendo has just issued the latest firmware, version 11.6.0-39.

Those expecting new functionality will be left disappointed. Nintendo says of the update: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.

These patch notes have actually been the exact same for the past two years. The last notable update was in March 2015 when Nintendo added a Home Menu Layout setting so that users could save and load up to eight layouts with different theme and software icon arrangements.

Project Octopath Traveler reemerged during last week’s Nintendo Direct following its initial announcement in January. Amazingly, a demo of the game even hit the eShop.

Nintendo UK highlighted the demo’s availability in a news post on its official website today. Towards the end, Nintendo says that Project Octopath Traveler is launching in Spring 2018.

Could this be an error? Absolutely. We’ll just have to wait and see. We’ve only heard on the record that Project Octopath Traveler is planned for 2018, but if Nintendo UK is correct, it’ll be releasing closer to the start of 2018 rather than towards the end of the year.
