Disney Infinity is off to a strong start in the US. According to data provided by the NPD Group, the new game sold 294,000 units in its first month. NPD recorded only two weeks of sales due to the game’s mid-August release date, so that’s not too bad of a figure at all.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist will be seeing some maintenance on Wii U tomorrow. Starting at 7 AM and lasting for four hours, the game’s online services will be affected to tend to the servers.

Once the maintenance is complete, Ubisoft hopes that server problems will be fixed.
@jorgejjvr That's what we're hoping… but we need to run some tests to determine the extent of the problems.

Thanks to Ilwrath A for the tip.
Update (9/16): The announcement is… the return of “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” and a corresponding promotion.
Some sort of Pokemon announcement is in the pipeline.
On Twitter a short while ago, the official Pokemon account sent out a message stating that a “surprise” is planned for Monday. This will be a “special announcement,” according to the notice.
The full tweet reads:
Heads up, Trainers! We've got a surprise for you! Tune in Monday at 8 a.m. PDT for a special announcement!

We don’t necessarily know that this news is related to Pokemon X/Y, but it’d definitely make sense if it was.
Screenshots are a bit small, but they’ll do for now…
