Less than two weeks before the debut of Yo-kai Watch: Enma Daioh to Itsutsu no Monogatari da Nyan! TV announcer Sayaka Suguru announced that a third film is on the way for Winter 2016. The announcement was made during a special event for the second film and unfortunately did not include any details about the movie.

Last week, it was announced that this Thursday a new fighter plus new support Pokemon would be revealed for Pokken Tournament. However, it seems that we already know who that new fighter is going to be. An image was published today which shows Pokemon variety show Pokenchi presenter Shoko Nakagawa playing the game. In the background, a poster is visible which shows that Sceptile is a playable character and that Electrode and probably Farfetch’d (although it’s hard to tell since the poster is so small) are two new support Pokemon.

As always with images like this there’s a chance that it could be photoshopped so don’t take this as a 100% confirmation yet, however it does seem pretty likely. We will know for sure on Thursday.

Let’s Talk #32: What are you playing? – December 2015

It’s the first weekend of a new month. Specifically, December has now rolled on in! So we want to know: what are you playing? Tell us in the comments below!

As for me, I’ve been a bit quiet with gaming as of late. I did start up Fantasy Life, but I’m just a few hours in. I like what I’ve played thus far though!
