Namco Badai has been teasing a huge, new Pac-Man title for E3, but is this it? We’ll find out in a few days!
I’m completely blown away every time I see new footage of this game. I still can’t believe Capcom has managed to cram the spirit of Okami into the DS. Also, it sounds like there’s a new version of the Shinshu Field music in the game!
– Random Match mode: Go to the Global Terminal in the Pokemon Center, features worldwide online play
– Mystery Wi-Fi support: “It looks like you can upload your Pokemon Black & White report to the web and play. Connectivity With the Web Also Realized!!”

– Obtain Pokedex and first Pokemon from Professor Arargi, first female Professor, she’s researching Pokemon in the Isshu region
– New video at World Hobby Fair
– Turbo Blaze ability for Reshiram
– Terra Voltage ability for Zekrom
– Transfer Celebi from the movie download to obtain Zorua at level 10
– Pokemon will probably be able to walk with you again like HeartGold/SoulSilver
This information comes from Capcom’s European senior director of marketing Michael Pattison…
“Capcom is very proud of its multi-million selling established franchises such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter. But we’ve also got some other franchises in our locker which we’re going to re-establish on the global stage in the near future. We’re not going to rest on our laurels and even with established franchises we’re going to try new things. We have quite a few surprises up our sleeves as we look to bring back some much-loved brands, create new ones and innovate with our existing line-up. I believe our fans will be happy with what we’re planning.”
Capcom recently stated that they have a few surprises up their sleeves for E3. Because of that, the chances are high that we’ll see one of the games that Pattison was referring to. The question is, will any of these classic franchises land on the Wii or DS? Or even the 3DS?
