According to the official San Diego Comic-Con 2016 schedule, a Pokemon GO-related panel will be held at the expo.
Niantic CEO John Hanke will be leading the proceedings. Hanke “will examine the past, present and future of extending games beyond the screen and re-imagining reality through the lens of Ingress and Pokemon GO.”
Niantic’s panel will take place on July 21 between 5 PM and 6 PM.
In one of its recent issues, Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream conducted an extensive interview with some of the developers behind Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. Motohide Eshiro (producer), Takeshi Yamazaki (director), and Takuro Fuse (co-director) participated in the discussion.
There was a ton of talk about the 3DS game in Nintendo Dream’s interview spawning over 10 pages. The developers touched on topics like Maya’s return, ideas left on the cutting room floor, and more.

We recently learned that Journey to Kreisia is due out on the European 3DS eShop on July 14. Based on a listing from Nintendo’s website, North America will have it on the same day. No word on pricing yet, but it’ll likely be around $10.
Below is an overview of the RPG from Nintendo’s website:
While attempting to skip out on a homework assignment and meet up with his friends at the arcade, a teenager by the name of Yusis is suddenly enveloped in a blinding light and transported to Kreisia- a world where fantasy meets reality.
Soon after, he learns he has been summoned as a Savior to deliver Kreisia’s people from the threat of the Overlord. Thinking everything happening around him is simply a dream, Yusis readily agrees to the task of saving the world and begins preparing for what is inevitably to be far more than he ever bargained for!
Blazing a new trail in classic RPGs, Journey to Kreisia is bound to please fans of the genre with plenty of engaging features such as hunting for hidden treasures, testing one’s strength in challenging battle arenas, and taking up a variety of subquests! Customize the fighting technique by raising weapon levels, equipping various orbs, and using extremely handy monster guide when in need of more information to perfect your battle skills!
Pokemon GO only just came out a few days ago. Of course, new features will be added to the game over time.
One feature Niantic will be interested in bringing in the future is trading, which company CEO John Hanke acknowledged as a “core element.” It’ll tie into the app’s virtue of players interacting with each other in virtual and real worlds.
Aside from that, Tech Insider reports that other new elements planned include more ways to play with Pokestops and Gyms. Currently, Hanke stated that they’re only in Pokemon as “very most basic versions”, though in the future, it’ll be possible for players to “customize their functions in other ways.” Niantic is also working on a global leaderboard so that players can see who’s the top trainer.
That’s not all though. Improvements are also on the way for the AR technology. Hanke said what’s currently in the app is “great first step,” but there’s more they can do. Regarding Pokemon GO on dedicated AR devices, Hanke teased: “That may be a fun thing to take advantage of.”
After originally launching for the Xbox in late 2001, EA and Pseudo Interactive’s Cel Damage came to the GameCube a few months later. Its reception was a bit mixed, but the developer hoped to create a sequel that would build on the original while taking feedback into account.
Unseen64 and Liam Robertson take a look at what Pseudo Interactive had in store for Cel Damage 2 in the video below. Ultimately, the project never picked up steam as it was unable to secure a publisher. EA, who handled the original, wasn’t interested – nor was SEGA, Ubisoft, or Midway.
Japanese variety show Pokenchi will be airing footage from Pokemon Sun/Moon during its July 17 episode (July 16 in North America). It’s not yet known what will be shown. Keep in mind that Pokenchi has only covered Tapu Koko from the recent reveals. Regardless, new content should be coming soon since the latest issue of CoroCoro releases on July 15.
Donkey Kong – and the series itself – is celebrating its 35th anniversary today. The very first game debuted way back on July 9, 1981 in arcades. Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo’s oldest franchises, so it’s great to see that it’s still very relevant today!
Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan: Shijou Psi-dai no Psi-nan!? is in development for 3DS, this month’s issue of V-Jump reveals. Bandai Namco is working on the manga-based game.
Actual details are under wraps for the time being. We know that it’s categorized as “psychic action”, and confirmed skills include x-ray vision, psychokinesis, and telepathy.
A release date for Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan: Shijou Psi-dai no Psi-nan!? was not listed in V-Jump.
Nexis Games has been (and still is) tinkering away on its Wii U eShop project UCraft. In addition to that though, the indie developer will soon be coming out with “Draw the Line”.
Draw the Line’s teaser trailer shows first-person shooting gameplay. Some sort of mysterious threat is present, and you’re the only hope for humanity.
Here’s the teaser:
Draw the Line is due out soon – perhaps within the next month or two.
