We have musicals based on everything. Musicals based on singing trains, making musicals, cats…So logically someone is bound to make a musical based on a video game at some point. Thankfully, plenty of fans of both games and musical theater have heard the curtain call, and so we have a number of fan-made musical productions based on Nintendo series.
– Called Mr Driller: Drill Till you Drop
– 40 stages
– Different modes
– Mission mode: Straightforward challenge
– Time attack mode: Race against the clock
– Dristone mode: Drill through a labyrinth, collect stones that have different powers
We don’t know much about the fifth generation of Pokemon games other than a few basic facts. The next issue of CoroCoro should provide more concrete details, though. A notice in the latest magazine promises that new information will be shared next month. CoroCoro has obtained major scoops about Pokemon titles in the past, so there it’s possible that the news in the next issue will be significant.

Hm…What can it be? It’s not tied-in to Nintendo Power’s upcoming announcement, as that will be a Wii title. Personally, I’d be extremely pleased if a sequel to The World Ends with You was unveiled!
