360 Breakout made it out last week as one of the newest games on the Wii U eShop. Check out some footage below.

Back in 2009, Vicarious Visions and Activision’s multiplayer party title Mixed Messages was brought to DSiWare. It was sort of like Pictionary, with the steps essentially taking place as follows:

1. One person draws a sentence
2. The system is passed to another player, who attempts to draw what the sentence was about
3. The system is passed on again, and another player needs to guess what they believe the original phrase was

This process continues until you run out of players – of which 21 were supported.

Here’s an old trailer:

We’re now hearing that Mixed Messages is returning after more than seven years. The specifics are a bit unclear currently, but we do know that it will be a 3DS eShop game. If we hear anything more about it (such as when it’s coming), we’ll let you know.

China has a new Pokemon GO ripoff, and it’s one of the creepier clones that we’ve seen.

The app comes from developer Rejected Games: FPS Adventure & Sport SimulationAdventure. “Pokeball Coach for Pokemon Go” was apparently intended to help players practice throws for Niantic’s true game, but it included designs that offer plenty of nightmare fuel.

Pokeball Coach for Pokemon Go ended up launching on the Google Play Store in late July. However, it now features original animals and multi-colored balls. Copyright issues likely prompted the changes.
