Nintendo’s decision to allow for Super Smash Bros. Melee streaming at Evo 2013 was a good thing – especially for the event itself.
Tournament founder Tom Cannon announced on Twitter has become the most-watched fighting game in history. Over 100,000 people tuned in to see the game in action, and that count continues to rise.
For now, Smash Bros Melee is the most watched fighting game in history, with 100k concurrent #evo2013 viewers!

You can watch the stream above. At the moment, over 130,000 fans are connected to the stream.

This is definitely one of the more stranger things I’ve seen…

Those who pre-order Pikmin 3 from GAME will receive a Pink Flying Pikmin key ring. If you’ve already reserved it from the retailer, you’ll still receive the bonus. An image of the key ring is attached above.

Prior to the airing of the Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo’s Awakening movie in Japan, a new Pokemon X/Y commercial was shown. It gave a look at a couple of new things: the player riding a bike and another brand new Pokemon tentatively known as “Aurotto”.
We don’t have a clear image of it yet (two rough sketches are above), but Pokebeach does say that Aurotto “was brown and green like a tree’s typical coloring but looked extremely menacing and spider-like.” The commercial depicted the Pokemon in a hoard battle.

With the 3DS VC release of Shantae on the way, Nintendo gave a look at some early sketches from the game on its UK 3DS Facebook page. The images, taken from series creator Matt Bozon’s sketch book, show first drawings designed by character creator Erin Bozon. View the gallery above for sketches developed while designing the game (1994-1999) and during production (1999-2002).
