Persona Q2

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Persona Q2 finds itself back in the top five.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between May 17 and May 23.

Poke Ball Plus

Update: The North American site has been updated to now state it has a charging time of three hours instead of before when it said it has a three hour battery life (thanks Ben C). Therefore we can assume that the North American site had an initial error.


Original: A number of Pokemon announcements were made this week, including the Poke Ball Plus. Rather than a Joy-Con, you can use the accessory to navigate in-game menus, explore the world and battle with Pokemon in the new Let’s Go titles. It’ll be compatible with Pokemon GO as well.

On the North American website for Poke Ball Plus, Nintendo states that the battery life is three hours. Yet Nintendo UK’s site does not mention that, and says the charging time is three hours instead.

We’re almost inclined to believe Nintendo UK here since we can’t imagine Poke Ball Plus using a whole lot of battery. Anything is possible though, and we’re hoping that we’ll receive final clarification soon.


Sushi Striker

Sushi Striker’s official website was in a teaser state not too long ago. Now with the game’s launch just a few days away, Nintendo has opened it in full. Access it here.

You know the deal here. The site will give you plenty of details about the game, and it also houses media including a trailer.

Limited Run Games

This year’s E3 is busier than ever before when it comes to press conferences and media presentations. Another company has now come forward confirming plans for the show.

On June 11, Limited Run Games will air its own press conference. You’ll be able to watch it at the following times:
