Ohmori on how Pokemon Sun/Moon puts a lot more emphasis on the monsters themselves…
IGN recently caught up with Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda, who has been working on the Pokemon games since the very beginning. Masuda was asked to select his favorite Pokemon. He presented six in total across different generations. Hear about all of his choices below.
Zelda: Spirit Tracks is gracing the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. On New 3DS, Capcom is bringing out Breath of Fire, according to Nintendo’s website.
The official page provides the following overview:
“In a distant land, peace was maintained for thousands of years by the powerful Dragon Clan. One day, the goddess Tyr appeared to them and offered to fulfill their every wish. Greed split the clans into the Dark Dragons and the Light Dragons, who battled to win Tyr’s magic as she watched and encouraged their war. A warrior emerged from the Light Dragons, and with his seven companions, he sealed the goddess into another realm.
Centuries have passed, and the Dark Dragons are destroying villages in search of the goddess keys to release Tyr from her prison. A new warrior must arise to face this latest blight!
Join Ryu as he embarks on an adventure of a lifetime! He will need to rely on his companions if he is to rediscover the lost powers of the Light Dragons and save his sister, Sara, from the evil clutches of the Dark Dragons. Fight, and prove that the Warrior of the Dragon is not just a myth!”
Breath of Fire will be priced at $7.99.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will launch on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, Nintendo’s website confirms. In Europe, the game previously dropped last November.
Here’s a brief overview from Nintendo’s website:
“Spirit Tracks have long protected the kingdom from evil. But when they start disappearing mysteriously, Link and Zelda must travel together to restore them and keep the dark forces at bay. Fight enemies and explore the world as you travel by train and take control of a hulking suit of armor!”
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will cost $9.99.
Famitsu published the first screenshots from the newly-announced Attack on Titan: Escape from Certain Death. View them below.
A ton of Pokemon Sun/Moon developer interviews are starting to come online. Series producer Junichi Masuda and director Shigeru Ohmori fielded a ton of questions from the press.
First up is Game Informer, who asked the two about topics such as connectivity with Pokemon GO, which platform we’ll see the next entry on, stereoscopic 3D, and much more about Sun/Moon specifically. Naturally, the discussion wouldn’t have been complete without a question about Yungoos looking like Donald Trump. You can find a bunch of notable comments below, and the full interview here.
YouTube user Kaphotics is still tinkering away at data mining Pokemon Sun/Moon’s demo. With his latest results, a major change to the series has been discovered. Head past the break for more.
Nintendo seems to be working on some sort of new Bluetooth accessory, judging my a new filing with the Federal Communications Commission. It looks fairly similar to the 3DS NFC accessory, but this is an entirely new device (CTR-013). It also supports Bluetooth whereas the 3DS device only has an IR port.
One very strong possibility is that Nintendo is preparing an NFC accessory which will work with smart devices (in addition to 3DS, as the CTR product number appears to be a part of the 3DS line). That would pave the wave for amiibo support on mobile. Of course, it’s only speculation for now.
