Fresh footage is in for Two Tribes’ RIVE, which should eventually end up on a Nintendo platform – be it Wii U or NX. Take a look at 21 minutes of gameplay below.
The Pokemon Company has sent out some new assets for Pokemon Sun/Moon. We have a bunch of information pertaining to Team Skull, the latest creatures, and a couple of Alola Forms.
Continue on below for all of the details. We also have art for the latest round of Pokemon.
Team Skull
In the Alola region, a group of ruffians known as Team Skull causes a lot of trouble. They steal other people’s Pokémon, mess up the trial sites, and delight in all kinds of evil deeds.Team Skull Boss: Guzma
Guzma is the boss of Team Skull, the one who holds these ruffians together. Guzma pours on the attacks, battling without mercy. He certainly does seem strong, but he claims that he “never could become captain.” He seems to have a bone to pick with Professor Kukui, as well.
With leaks abound last night, The Pokemon Company decided to publish the latest Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer early. We already saw the new video in Japanese, but here’s the English version:

Not only does this show the new Team Skull and many of the leaked Pokemon in action, but it also shows that many of the Alola forms will evolve from previous forms of Pokemon (such as Alola Marowak evolving from a regular Cubone, or Alola Raichu evolving from a regular Pikachu).
Wave Race 64 and Mario Sports Mix will be hitting the Wii U’s Virtual Console today, August 11. Wave Race 64 will cost $9.99, while Mario Sports Mix will cost $19.99. Below are the official descriptions for each:
Wave Race 64
Take to the waves on your own personal watercraft!Choose one of four characters, each with his or her own unique abilities and style, and master the game’s excellent controls. Make your way through nine courses, each with its own challenges. If the ramps, mines, and hairpin turns aren’t enough, you’ll also have to deal with varying weather conditions that can make the water choppy or cover the course with fog. Take a break from racing to try the Stunt Mode. Polish your skills pulling off handstands, rolls, flips, and more!
Mario Sports Mix
Four sports, one game—with a Mario twist!Mario Sports Mix presents four familiar sports but with a Mario twist. Players can choose from a variety of playable Mushroom Kingdom characters or play as their own Mii characters. In any sport, power-ups can turn the tide of a game in an instant. And in over-the-top Mario sports fashion, each character can unleash their special move!

A new version of Pokemon GO is now available to download. Version 1.3.1 is out now.
Unlike the most recent update, this one is fairly minor in nature. The official patch notes mention stability improvements. It also says that there are “No text fixes”.
We’re aware that Pokemon GO version 1.3.1 has been pushed out to iOS users. Android users should presumably have it shortly as well.
Natsume is introducing one of the new animals that will be included in Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. In the game, players will be able to raise the Poitou Donkey.
Here’s the official description:
“The Poitou Donkey is a new animal available to raise in Harvest Moon: Skytree Village! These aren’t pack animals – they’re shearing animals, like sheep! If you found someone who could tailor, they might make a new outfit for you…”
Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is slated for late 2016 in North America. Europe will have it in Q1 2016 thanks to Rising Star Games.
