The Pokemon Company announced today that 5,954 people have been banned from certain online activities in Pokemon Sun & Moon due to having altered save data. The banned players can’t use Game Sync and can’t participate in Rating Battles, Battle Competitions and Global Missions. Affected players will get the error code 090-0212 when they attempt to use any of these features.

The Pokemon Company states it will continue to go after players with edited save data and will issue similar bans to them in the future.

Back in July of last year, indie developer Squad announced that Wii U version of their game Kerbal Space Program would be available “this Winter”. Well, we are now in the middle of that Winter, but the game is nowhere to be seen on Wii U. In fact, it looks like the Wii U version might be cancelled for good. Here’s what Squad’s community manager had to say on their official forums on the topic:

“The industry landscape changed since we made that announcement. Although we were excited to release this port, external factors are forcing us to reevaluate if it is the right move for Kerbal Space Program. It is still to soon to give you a definite decision, so we’ll give you more detailed information in the future.”

Still a fairly vague answer and no definitive confirmation that the Wii U version has been cancelled, but it’s seems fairly likely that that is what’s going to happen eventually. We will keep you updated on the matter – perhaps Squad will do what many other developers have done and shift their focus towards a Switch version of the game instead.

Nintendo’s website has updated with two more Wii U Virtual Console games slated for release in North America. Along with Flying Warriors, which we posted about today, Kung-Fu Heroes and Little Ninja Brothers will be out tomorrow.

Here are overviews of each:

Kung-Fu Heroes

“Monsters have taken Princess Min-Min, and the treasures. The whole land has fallen into sorrow. Only Kung-Fu Masters Jacky and Lee can save the princess and retrieve the treasures. Their journey will take them to eight different castles filled with a host of traps and obstacles. Use Punches and the Miracle Kick to defeat the enemies. Whether or not you make it to the last castle depends on your quick wits and reflexes.”

Little Ninja Brothers

“You are spirited Ninja boys, Jack and Ryu, who take off on a journey to defeat the Yoma Clan. Fight enemies with various skills such as punches, kicks, swords, and throwing stars. Take your attacks to the next level with special items like the Iron Claws and the Crush Punch. Work as a team to bring peace back to Chinaland.”

Once again, another Zelda: Breath of the Wild-focused interview with series producer Eiji Aonuma is online. Gamekult was able to ask the developer about various topics, ranging from the physics engine to Monolith Soft’s role.

We have a summary after the break. However, we’ll also be looking to eventually provide a native translation of the interview, since some parts of the discussion just aren’t clear without knowledge of French.
