Pokemon GO Plus has a new release date. The accessory will launch on September 16, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company announced today.
Here’s what the device offers:
We’ve been wondering who that Professor Oak-looking character is from the new Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer. As some had suspected, it’s not Oak himself. Instead, it’s a relative.
4Gamer confirms that the character is Nariya Oak, Professor Oak’s cousin. Aside from that we don’t know much. 4Gamer says that Nariya studies the region and Alola Forms… and that’s pretty much it!
A new commercial is live for Super Battle for Money: The Ultimate Ninja and Battle Player’s Top Decisive Battle!, Bandai Namco’s Japanese 3DS game. View it below.
River City: Tokyo Rumble will launch in North America on September 7, Natsume announced today. The game will be offered both physically and digitally in North America.
Those who purchase River City: Tokyo Rumble from the Natsume Amazon store will receive a limited edition Kunio keychain. We have a look at that above.
As for the game itself, here’s an overview of River City: Tokyo Rumble:
River City: Tokyo Rumble follows the story of a hot-blooded high school student named Kunio and his good friends. When a nefarious gang moves into Tokyo to try to take it over, it’s up to this self-proclaimed “fighter for justice” and his buddies to make sure the streets stay safe!
Players will punch, kick, and use a variety of weapons such as soccer balls, iron knuckles, chains, and even bicycles to knock some sense into those devious gang members. Taking on jobs, leveling up abilities, and stopping for a snack or two at local food joints are just some of the action-packed mayhem players will experience. Luckily, smiles are free!

The big question stemming from the just-released Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer concerns the character above. Who is he? If anything, he seems to be a part of the Oak family, as the name shown is the same as Professor Oak’s Japanese name.
It surely can’t be Professor Oak, right? Perhaps some sort of relative?
