Ever Oasis launches next year on 3DS.
As revealed by Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda during today’s Treehouse stream, there are plans for Pokemon GO to connect with the main Pokemon games in the future. This won’t be at launch though, as the developers want players to focus on catching Pokemon in real life. The same stream also reconfirmed that trading will be coming to Pokemon GO at some point.
During today’s Nintendo Treehouse stream hosted at E3, it was announced that the Pokemon GO Plus device for Pokemon GO is planned for release at the end of July. It will be priced at $34.99.
Pokemon GO is only going to have the first generation of Pokemon to start out. However, in the future, there are plans for future generations to be added. This tidbit was shared during today’s E3 Treehouse stream.
Nintendo is localizing BoxBoy! One More Box as BoxBoxBoy!, the company has revealed. We’ll be seeing the game on the Treehouse stream later today.
BoxBoxBoy! launched on the Japanese 3DS eShop back in January. The original game debuted last year, and quickly became one of the standout titles on Nintendo’s digital shop.
Thanks to ch08137 for the tip.
The second day of Nintendo’s Treehouse stream will begin in about an hour from now. Expect it to kick off at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe.
Pokemon GO will be kicking off today’s broadcast with a developer Q&A. We’ll also be hearing about a new 3DS RPG apparently, in addition to Mario Party: Star Rush, Paper Mario: Color Splash, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Dragon Quest VII, Yo-kai Watch 2, Rhythm Heaven Megamix, and Monster Hunter Generations.
You can watch the stream below. If any big stories come in, we’ll have the news up on the site.
Update 2 (6/15): Bumped to the top. These are now up for pre-order on Play-Asia here and here.
Update: We have a few higher-quality photos of the new units as well as their packaging. Those images are in the gallery below.
Original (6/14): A pair of New 3DS XL units are on the way to Japan. One model is black and features Solgaleo and Lunala while the other is yellow and has Pikachu on the front. Each model comes out on November 18 and costs 18,800 yen.
Pokken Tournament received a new update last night, bringing the game up to version 1.3. Some people have since been poking through the files to see if there’s anything interesting hidden away.
Reddit user BananaMuffinFrenzy did manage to come across some potentially interesting things. First, the inclusion of a “evt_sphit_Scizor” file was found. There were also a few other noteworthy files:
btlseq_en.drp\evt_395_iwakudaki_hit
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_darkhole_throw_catch
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_darkpulse_hit
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_darkpulse_hold_hit
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_exATK_hit
Empoleon is 395 in the Pokedex, and ”Iwakudaki” is Rock Smash. Darkrai is 491 in the Pokedex, and can use Dark Pulse and Dark Void (Dark Hole in Japanese).
These findings have people speculating about Scizor, Empoleon, and Darkrai being added to Pokken Tournament. It remains to be seen what will actually happen in the future, however.
