A fan-driven Pokemon event was recently held in Chile, and it featured a somewhat out-of-the-blue Nintendo announcement.
The special Pikachu 3DS XL, previously released in Japan and Europe, was also confirmed for the Chile. This news may have implications for North America since Chile uses the same 3DS system as the US.
Does this mean Nintendo of America will be announcing the Pikachu 3DS XL for the states soon? We can only hope!

It takes 10 minutes to drive a loop around LEGO City: Undercover’s hub
Posted 11 years ago by Brian in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
LEGO City: Undercover is a big game. It features a large overworld that is probably bigger than the one included in LEGO Batman 2.
According to executive producer Loz Doyle, it will take players ten minutes just to drive a loop around Undercover’s city. The world is also made up of side roads, a ground level city, and more.
“It would take 10 minutes just to drive a loop of the city. That doesn’t even include exploring all the side roads and other regions. Not only is there the ground level city to explore but you can also get up on the rooftops where there is a whole load of additional gameplay.”

Capcom teases Wii U game news that will be shared “very soon”
Posted 11 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom appears to have some sort of new Wii U game announcement on the way.
During a Monster Hunter Tri stream event yesterday, community manager Brett Elston teased incoming game-related news for the platform. Elston didn’t offer much in the way of hints, but did note that it may “not be too much of a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to the Internet”.
“… we should have more Wii U news in general very soon… for games. I’ll just tease that out there. Might not be too much of a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to the Internet, but probably very soon you’ll hear something else about a game for said platform.”
So what could it be? Well, there’s one significant, unannounced Capcom that has been talked about quite a bit as of late: Resident Evil: Revelations Unveiled Edition. While we’re not sure if the title is coming to Wii U, a port would certainly make sense and could fit in with ONM’s February teaser for a “stunning new game”.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
