We’ll have to see if these dates stick, though I’m not surprised about PokePark. I’m expecting Nintendo of America to announce that the game will be coming to the states at E3 next month.

Tomorrow is going to be a very crazy day to say the least. A family member passed away on Monday and I will be attending the funeral. Unfortunately, I have to leave the site very early in the morning and I don’t expect to return until midafternoon at the earliest.
I’ve already talked with Austin, and he’s going to update the site as much as possible. If he’s able to, that is. Although he’s going to try his best to cover everything, I want you guys to expect the worst in case his schedule doesn’t work out. I will publish a number of posts to appear on the site at specific times, so that should keep you guys busy until Austin or I start posting.
Honestly, I’m not sure how everything will work out. It’s possible that you won’t see much of a change from normal site updates, which would be nice. But regardless of what happens, please bear with us!
Moving on to Renegade Kid – Jools Watsham was kind enough to agree to an interview opportunity. Based on our interview with Shin’en, however, it seemed as though some of you had a few questions that you would have liked to submit. So before we actually send in questions for the interview, feel free to leave a comment or shoot us an email if anything is on your mind about Renegade Kid!
Lastly, I’ve made a small change to categories. I was browsing the site a bit today and it struck me that it was silly how pretty much everything is labeled as news. We’ve added three new categories now – screenshots, videos, and random. The first two are self-explanatory, but you can expect posts such as art, weird facts, etc. to be labeled as random. We’ll only be using the news category for actual news from here on out.
Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ll be publishing a few posts in the morning before I leave, but as I said earlier, I’ll have other updates scheduled to go live throughout the day.
This teaser comes from the latest issue of Nintendo Power…
“Next issue’s going to be a big one. In addition to an exclusive cover story on a huge new title, we’ll bring you first looks of half a dozen incredible games, including de Blob 2 and an astonishing title that stars one of gaming’s most recognizable heroes. Plus, we’ll have major reviews and more! Color us excited.”
I wonder if this is connected at all to the Official Nintendo Magazine teaser we posted earlier today. Things are definitely getting quite interesting…And E3 is only about a month away now. It sounds like there are a number of worthwhile games on the horizon!
May 5, 2010 -The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo of America Inc. will distribute the Winner’s Path Route for the Pokéwalker™ accessory via the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service. Beginning Thursday, May 6 through Friday, June 25, players of Pokémon HeartGold or Pokémon SoulSilver Versions who have wireless broadband Internet access will have the opportunity to unlock a new Route, which gives them a chance to discover extraordinary Pokémon and rare items particularly useful to the competitive Pokémon Trainer.
Pokémon fans who earn enough Watts on the Winner’s Path Route might discover a Munchlax that knows Selfdestruct, and useful items such as the Focus Sash and Choice Band. They may even find a Magikarp™ that learns the move Bounce when it evolves into Gyarados™. All Pokémon captured in the Pokéwalker will be holding useful items that are difficult to attain during normal gameplay.
This unique distribution event is only available for a short time and may provide players with the edge needed to outplay their opponents during the 2010 Pokémon Video Game Championships. For more information about championship events or Pokéwalker distribution, players should visit www.pokemon.com.
