EnjoyUp Games’ racing game Grand Prix Rock ‘N Racing will be available via the Wii U eShop in both North America and Europe this Thursday. If you need some help deciding whether or not to buy it, why not check out this new trailer for the game:
This month’s issue of CoroCoro has started to leak, bringing the latest Pokemon Sun/Moon news with it.
First, we have news about evolutions for Rockruff. The Pokemon becomes Lugarugan and has a different appearance based on it evolves during the day or night. Rockruff’s day form occurs when bathed in the rays of the sun. When full of the night’s power, it becomes the night form.
We also have a look at two Ultra Beasts called UB02, UB02 Beauty and UB02 Expansion. UB02 Expansion is shown appearing in Pokemon Sun, facing off against Tapu Koko and UB02 Beauty up against Tapu Koko in Pokemon Moon. While UB01’s name is a mystery, it may have a deep meaning.
In non-gaming news, CoroCoro also provides a first look at the Pokemon Sun/Moon anime, which will be airing in November. Ash will receive a Z-Ring and meet the Melemele Island Guardian, Tapu Koko. During the show, Ash is going to school and his goal is to graduate “like never before”.
For its next issue, CoroCoro teases that the magazine will show the true strengths of Type: Null.

Grasshopper Manufacture made Killer7 for the GameCube and PlayStation 2 in partnership with Capcom over a decade ago. Goichi Suda, known for his work on projects like No More Heroes, directed the game. Now he’s interested in seeing it return.
Speaking with Hardcore Gamer, Suda51 said:
Basically, you are staying faithful to the vision so that new audiences can see it as intended. That’s exciting. Are there any other old works that you have done that you are hoping to revisit, to give this type of remastering treatment?
I feel that Killer 7 is the hardest of my games to play. I want to and feel that I need to do something about that. A remake, or remaster or something like that… (Sly grin.)
