We haven’t heard when Buddy & Me is due out in North America, but it should be soon.
First there was a Splatoon rip-off. Then there was a Smash Bros. clone. Pokemon GO is now the latest Nintendo-related game to have seen a different take from China.
When you search for Pokemon GO on the App Store in China, “City Elves Go” is the first thing that pops up. The game, which is at the top of the charts, obviously takes quite a bit of inspiration from Pokemon GO.
Much like Pokemon GO, City Elves Go has creatures appearing in real world locations. Players need to visit different areas to catch them. It doesn’t feature augmented reality, though.
The team behind City Elves Go says it didn’t “consider any factors from Pokémon Go” when creating the game.
Following Pokemon GO’s first update which came out yesterday, Niantic has now issued a second patch for the game on iOS. Version 1.0.2 (0.29.2) is now available. This fixes a specific issue players were having with the Pokemon Trainer Club login.

This month’s issue of CoroCoro gave us a first look at two new Pokemon that will be featured in Sun and Moon. And in next month’s edition, there will be more coverage of the two games. CoroCoro has teased a special “Southern Island Alola Guide” which is said to give all the important information that you need for your journey.
The next issue of CoroCoro officially releases on August 12. But based on past experiences, the magazine should leak a few days before that.
We already know that three Virtual Console games are set for the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. Bonk’s Adventure, R-Type, and New Adventure Island will all be up on the eShop. As for 3DS, there will be one Virtual Console release.

“Enjoy unmatched beat ’em up action in this arcade classic and discover just who is behind the Mad Gear Gang in what may be Metro City’s final fight.

Take to the streets with either Haggar or Cody and fight your way across town deep into the turf of the Mad Gear Gang. As you cross the town, fight with all your strength to save the one you love!”
