Original (5/18): Excitement has been growing within the community of Pokemon fans after the first trailer for Pokemon Sun & Moon was released earlier this month, showing footage of the three new starter Pokemon available in the upcoming games.
The news for the games will continue as today the Japanese Pokemon Twitter has confirmed that brand new information about Sun & Moon will be released on June 2nd 2016. There are no hints yet about what this information might be but fans can be happy knowing that the wait for more news will not be too much longer.
News from this month’s issue of V Jump has started to emerge. The magazine has an update on Dragon Ball: Fusions, and confirms that the title is coming out on August 4 in Japan. Fusions has not yet been announced for other territories.
V Jump also reveals a new fusion between Gohan and Trunks known as “Gohanks”. This is a collaboration of sorts between Fusions and another Dragon Ball game, Dragon Ball Heroes. There are two versions of Gohanks, and it’s possible to have both fusion versions in each game.
Here are the details:
– To have Dragon Ball Heroes Gohanks in Dragon Ball Fusions: when playing Heroes, a QR code to unlock him in Fusions will appear, so scan it in Fusions
– To have Dragon Ball Fusions Gohanks in Dragon Ball Heroes: the first print incentive for Fusions contains a code card that can be inputted in Dragon Ball Heroes
You can see the latest V Jump scans below. They’re unfortunately a bit hard to see, but they do show the Gohanks fusion and a look at the boxart and a New 3DS bundle.
One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum is in development for 3DS, according to the latest issue of Jump.
Specifics on the game are mostly unknown at the moment. It’s confirmed to be a 2D battle action game, and features a mode where you sail around the world and build a team of your favorite pirates. By defeating rivals, your prize money will steadily increase. Combos and simple controls are also included.
There’s no word yet as to when One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum will be available.
Atlus and NIS America recently terminated their relationship. In Europe, it’s an interesting situation. The two sides no longer working together means NIS America won’t be handling any of Atlus’ releases in Europe going forward.
SEGA SVP of commercial publishing John Clark relayed to MCV that the company is “very interested” in taking over NIS’ role. He said:
“We’re very interested in bringing all of the group’s Japanese content not just to the West, but to Europe in particular. We are always trying to find a way. And that’s an on-going process. That’s something we are continually assessing and talking to and if there are really strong opportunities to support the Japanese content in Europe, we’ll do it.”
You would think that SEGA would want to be in charge here since they’re Atlus’ parent company. Hopefully it all works out in the end!
