E3 2017 is only a week away, but it already feels like the festivities have started. Today’s Pokemon Direct can be partially attributed to that since we should be getting some big news about the franchise very soon.
No live blog for this one due to how short it is, but you can watch the Pokemon Direct as it happens below in an hour from now (7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe). Although it’ll only be eight minutes long, similar presentations focusing on the series have been equally short. We’ll put up any breaking news on the site right as it happens.
Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from May 2017. You can watch it below.
Warner Bros. will be streaming live from E3 2017 for the first time this year. The publisher’s new show, known as “WB Games Live!”, will be featuring LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, LEGO Worlds, and LEGO Dimensions.
WB Games Live! will feature live gameplay demos, discussions with developers and surprise guests, and cosplay contests. Those who are watching online can enter for online giveaways and prizes.
WB Games Live! will be hosted between June 13 and June 15. You can watch it all here.

Need some help with the controls in ARMS? A new video from Nintendo UK will tell you everything you need to know about the standard control method plus other options included in the game. Get a look at it below.
Update: Rather than photos of the actual Super Nintendo World, what we may have here instead is a stage of sorts being prepared for an upcoming event. One of the photos also appears to have the word “Grand” hidden in the back. In any case, these might not be construction photos.
Original: It was assumed that construction on Super Nintendo World was just starting a little over a month ago. That’s now official, with the first true photos emerging today. It’s obviously very early on, but construction images show Warp Pipes and Piranha Plants plus brick walls.
Thanks to the bunch of you that sent this in.
Just like the poison mist yesterday, the Splatoon Twitter account has introduced another new sub weapon in Splatoon 2 today. The “robot bomb” is a sort of walking homing missile. You throw it, and once it lands, it’ll detect the nearest enemy in a certain radius and starts walking towards them until it explodes.
One of the weapon kits that’ll have the robot bomb sub is the “Foxy”, a roller-type weapon that seems to be quite similar in appearance to the Octobrush from the first game. It will also have the Inkjet special.
Check out the robot bomb in action, as well as look at some screenshots of it and the Foxy:
ロボットボムの動きを撮影してみたぞ。
