A new trailer for Pokken Tournament has gone live showing off the game’s various characters. Get a look at the video below.
Today, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company International announced that Pokken Tournament will join the Pokemon Championship Series beginning this spring. For those that are unaware, these tournaments are sanctioned annually by The Pokemon Company International. This year will culminate with the crowning of the Pokken Tournament World Champions in August at the 2016 Pokemon World Championships in San Francisco.
Fans can prepare and even gain entry into the 2016 Pokemon Championship Series is by attending the Pokken Tournament Early Access Competitions hosted by Nintendo at select GameStop locations across the United States on February 27. All winners from the regional tournaments will advance to the finals being held at the Nintendo NY store in New York on March 17. The final two winners of the Pokken Tournament Early Access Competitions will earn travel awards to the 2016 Pokémon US National Championships (July 1-3 in Columbus, Ohio). It’s here that they will battle to advance to the 2016 Pokemon World Championships.

The two commented on the game’s origins, the roster, challenges in making Pokemon look realistic, working with the Pokemon Company, Shadow Mewtwo’s creation, and more.

“Malo” has returned with another tweet about Twilight Princess HD on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. Today, he talks a bit about the Goron tribe.
Here’s our translation:
“…It’s Malo. The Goron tribe has skin that’s tough like a rock, and a strong body that can even break rocks… If you look down of them because they look elderly, you’ll be in a world of hurt… So proceed with caution…”
A few new details about Dragon Ball: Project Fusion have emerged from this week’s issue of Jump. Primarily, we have news about the characters.
Dragon Ball: Project Fusion features your own main character. However, it’s unknown if you can really modify him similar to the series’ last release, Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Jump mentions that you’ll be the one doing the adventuring, and you’ll meet with legendary fighters.
We also get a first look at a brand new character called Pinijji. Jump doesn’t say who he is or what his role is.
The week’s issue of Jump has yet another update on Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3. This time around, we have news about the Great Riders Cup. This can be accessed by going through the story up to the point where you meet a Nochora who organizes the event named Chomach.
The Great Riders Cup are battles with up to four participants, each of whom rides a monster. The objective is to gather slimes that are spread around the field and carry them to your goal to rack up points.
Marvelous opened up the website for Story Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages today. The site offers an overview of the game’s systems and also provides a look at two new characters from Tsuyukusa Village – Kasumi, a marriage candidate for the male main character and Yuzuki, a marriage candidate for the female main character. The folks over at Gematsu translated some info about these new characters.
Kasumi is a teacher in a private outside of Tsuyukusa Village. She’s a quiet girl who rarely talks to men her age, but she loves riding horses.
Yuzuki is a gentle but frail young man who makes metallic ornaments for a living. He likes sweet foods and can usually be found at his workplace.
The website also features several new gameplay clips. The first one shows off the creation of a female main character:
Head past the break for several more clips!
