Work on Candle is complete, and the indie game is starting to debut on various platforms today. View a new trailer for the game below.

Candle is still scheduled for Wii U, but it’s unclear if Switch will affect those plans. I imagine we’ll find out in the months ahead.

Update: We have a release date for the Wii U version in Europe: November 24.

At some point in the future, Ohayou! Beginner’s Japanese should make its way to both Switch and 3DS. All versions will also be updated with vocabulary, grammar, and kanji.

After yesterday’s interview with gameindustry.biz, Eurogamer also got the chance to sit down and talk with Mike Quigley, Niantic’s chief marketing officer, to talk about Pokemon GO. You can read the full interview here; below are a couple of interesting tidbits:

On how the success of Pokemon GO caught them off guard:

“There’s no way to sugarcoat it, we were overwhelmed by how [Pokémon GO] took off. The success of the product caught us out of position in a couple of areas – we fully admit it. The summer was quite painful – no one slept much. But this has always been a marathon not a sprint. You can look back at Ingress and see that.”

“We can look back and wish we had more resources for certain things, but we kind of weathered it and hopefully people say ‘oh, we are hearing from them more now, there’s more transparency’. And for what it’s worth, regardless of headcount or staffing, one of the reasons people weren’t hearing from us is that there were so many things going on with servers and stuff that was, frankly, distracting the company. We just wanted to make sure the game was still up and running. That took everyone and their focus to take care of things.”

One month ago, the official Japanese “Bravely” series Twitter account promised some big news for the series’ 4th anniversary. Today, a new game called “Bravely Default: Fairy’s Effect” was announced. The game will soon enter into a limited-capacity closed beta test. Further details were not announced, including which platform the game will be on, but it seems likely that this will be a smartphone game.

Keep in mind that this does not mean the end of the series on 3DS or Nintendo hardware in general. In Japan, both a smartphone and a web browser game were released between Bravely Default and Bravely Second, so a spin-off title on different hardware is nothing unusual. The title of this game also doesn’t seem to imply that it’s a sequel to Bravely Second.

The release of Pokemon Sun & Moon is almost upon us and Nintendo has seemingly stopped with the regular video releases that reveal new Pokemon. However, CoroCoro magazine apparently isn’t stopping anytime soon. Scans of its latest issue have leaked today, and they show two new Ultra Beasts, one new Pokemon and exclusive Z-Moves for the starter Pokemon.

Interestingly, the names / numbers of the Ultra Beasts are not revealed – however, it seems like these Ultra Beasts might be version exclusives, based on the layout of the magazine page and their colors. CoroCoro also states that the new Pokemon is quite a mystery, and wonders how it is related to Solgaleo and Lunala. Decidueye’s unique Z-Move is called “Shadow Arrows Strike” in Japan, while Incineroar’s is called “Hyper Dark Crusher”.

More and clearer scans will likely pop up soon; we will keep you updated.
