Skylanders Academy debuted on Netflix today. It’s a new animated series based on Activision’s toys-to-life franchise.
Crash Bandicoot was present in Skylanders Imaginators, and it looks like he’s in this show as well. A brief clip has emerged on YouTube of his appearance… and he even talks. See it below.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
Paper Mario players are only supposed to have access to the southern area of Toad Town after finishing the first chapter. But by using the “log skip” out of bounds glitch, you can get there ahead of time. Doing so lets you reach a part of the game early, essentially using teleportation to be ahead of where you should be.
What’s interesting about this all is that the Japanese version of Paper Mario has some dialogue that wasn’t found until just recently. When talking with NPCs here, they’ll say things that they normally wouldn’t – mostly about how you shouldn’t be there. Some even tell the player to “get in contact” upon seeing what they have to say.
Stryder7x explains it all in his new YouTube video below:
This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta show off the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. Watch it below.
Data collected by market intelligence firm Sensor Tower indicates that Pokemon GO has returned to the top of the charts. Thanks to the mobile game’s Halloween event, it’s now number one again as the iPhone’s highest-grossing title in the United States. Last week, it had fallen as low as number ten.
Fire: Ungh’s Quest was recently added to the Wii U eShop in Europe. Check out some footage of the downloadable title below.
Monster Hunter XX was announced for a Japanese 3DS release yesterday. In a follow up for its financial results, Capcom now says it expects to sell two million copies of the game. It’s slated for March 18 in Japan, and the latest fiscal quarter ends on March 31.
This week, SEGA held a special meet and greet event in Japan. A number of questions were answered at one point, and some small but interesting information about Project Sonic 2017 was shared. Twitter user BlueStorm_SONIC relayed the information.
First, it was mentioned that Project Sonic 2017 will feature a new character. Unfortunately, specifics weren’t shared beyond that. Another question touched on how connected the game is to Sonic Generations. While the two are separate, you’ll be able to play both classic stages in 2D and modern 3D stages, and another feature will be added on top of that.
Project Sonic 2017 is planned for a 2017 release on Switch and other platforms.
