If you’re a fan of DS/3DS title Inazuma Eleven, you might be in for a treat. Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino tweeted out a picture of a character that definitely seems to be from the soccer-based roleplaying game.
This isn’t the first time that Hino might have teased something new coming for the series, so the chances of a sequel seem high.

In just a matter of minutes, Nintendo made major announcements about the NX, the new Zelda game, its E3 2016 plans, and next mobile titles on Wednesday. Now that the dust has settled, it’s take to look back on the news and talk about it all.
Here’s a recap of everything:
– NX: not releasing this holiday as many expected, but will instead launch globally in March 2017; unveiling later this year
– Zelda: the new game is coming to both NX and Wii U; delayed to 2017 for a simultaneous launch on both platforms
– E3 2016: no NX at E3, Zelda will be the only playable title
– Mobile: Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing games coming this fall; the latter will connect “with the world of Animal Crossing for dedicated gaming systems”
Now it’s time to talk about the big news! How’s everyone absorbing the various announcements? I think for me, the most surprising thing is that Zelda is the only playable Nintendo game at E3. We’ve never really seen anything like that before. I do sort of wonder why Paper Mario: Color Splash isn’t going to be there, and we won’t be seeing anything on 3DS which seems slightly odd as well.
A few days ago, HORI pulled back the curtain on a special Pikachu version of its Pokken Tournament controller for Japan. We weren’t sure at the time if it would be sold in North America, but now we have a clear answer.
A GameStop source tipped us off that the controller is now listed in the retailer’s database as “Wii U Pokken Pro Pad Pikachu”. Furthermore, it seems that pre-orders have opened. You can put down $5 at your local store to reserve the controller. It hasn’t appeared online as of now, but that should change at some point in the future.
GameStop lists a tentative May 7 release date in its database for the Pikachu version of the Pokken Tournament controller, though that can mean anything (not at all final). It’ll cost $29.99 at launch – just like the standard version.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest XI is up one spot while Pokemon Sun/Moon and Ace Attorney 6 still hold strong in the top ten.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 14 and April 20.
A number of new Nintendo-published 3DS themes have recently come out in Japan featuring Kirby: Planet Robobot, Star Fox Zero, Pokemon, Fire Emblem Fates, and more. You can get a look at them all in the video below.
RCMADIAX has decided to put the Wii U version of Mega Win Casino Slots on hold after announcing the title last month. This is a result of “performance issues,” the developer stated on Twitter. However, it could end up as an NX release.
The relevant tweet is as follows:
Unfortunately we have put #MegaWinCasinoSlots for #WiiU on hold. Due to performance issues beyond our control – possibly will move to #NX.
