The third episode of Pokemon Generations is now live on the official Pokemon YouTube channel. We’ve gone ahead and attached it below.
Pokemon Generations revisits each generation of the Pokemon games and sheds new light on some timeless moments. New episodes will be available weekly through December 23.
You wouldn’t normally count on something like Mahjong to take up a lot of space on Wii U, but the new Wii U eShop game is here to subvert your expectations. It’ll take up nearly 500MB on your internal memory or external hard drive. Those of you in Europe can grab Mahjong from the eShop now.
Between September 30 and October 1, Nintendo will be holding another National StreetPass Weekend. It’s being given a Yo-kai Watch theme, as Yo-kai Watch 2 is slated for release at the end of next week.
Those who participate in National StreetPass Weekend can connect with other 3DS owners to discover new Yo-kai at Nintendo Zone locations. Also, if you have Dragon Quest VII, you can receive traveller’s tablets to explore original dungeons that provide rare monsters and unique equipment.

Update: The pre-load option has now been been pulled in North America. Not too surprising!
Last night, we reported that Paper Mario: Color Splash can now be pre-loaded in North America from the Wii U eShop. Nintendo has done this with plenty of the games in the past across both Wii U and 3DS. However, with Color Splash, a major error has been made.
We’re hearing that those who pre-load Paper Mario: Color Splash actually have access to the entire game right now. Obviously, that isn’t supposed to happen as it doesn’t launch until October 7. Those who take advantage of pre-loading usually need to apply a brief update on launch day before they can begin to play.
We’ll let you know if we receive any further updates about the situation.
