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

Double Dragon seems to be heading to both the Wii U and 3DS eShops tomorrow. It was initially expected to only be available for the Wii U VC, but a listing on Nintendo’s site confirms a release on the company’s handheld as well. The game will be available for $4.99.
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.
Unepic doesn’t have a final release date on Wii U, but EnjoyUp has narrowed down a potential window. According to a tweet from the studio, the indie title may land on Nintendo’s console sometime in January.
