Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl have entered the world of Super Mario Galaxy in a rather interesting way. Modder
RiazorMC has ported the Sinnoh map over to the Wii game, complete with the towns and routes the region is known for. Twinleaf Town, the entrance to the Pokemon League, and more are all accounted for. You can even swim in the proper areas.
This is still ultimately Super Mario Galaxy, but with a fixed, top-down perspective like Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. To “complete” the level, you still need to reach the Power Star. In this case though, it’s been swapped out with a Staryu.
Here’s a look at the mod in video form:

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers launched back in February, but there’s been no word from Atlus yet regarding English localization. However, there’s a bit of encouraging news coming out of Asia.
Indonesian retailer PS Enterprise, Pakistani retailer Toyorgame, and Singapore retailer Qisahn all have listings for the game. Furthermore, they have a February 23, 2021 date. According to PS Enterprise, the listing was created due to confirmation from their supplier that the game is launching in 2021.
Note that today’s listings are for a “Region 3” English release. What that means is SEGA’s Asian branches would be publishing rather than Atlus West. It’s unclear if and when Atlus would bring the game to other regions officially including North America and Europe.
