Bandai Namco has announced the latest Kamen Rider game, “Kamen Rider SummonRide”. It’s planned for both Wii U and PlayStation 3.

Kamen Rider SummonRide has one major hook: the use of toys like Skylanders. Players will be able to buy different figures and use them to enhance gameplay. Each Rider figure has its own elemental property, like Hibiki who is based in Fire.

We’re also hearing that the figures will be backwards compatible with Kamen Rider: Battride War II in some fashion.

Two Tribes has been a strong Nintendo supporter since the WiiWare days, bringing out titles such as Toki Tori and Rubik’s Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH. Thankfully, the studio’s Nintendo output will continue in the future.

Two Tribes’ Collin van Ginkel told Nintendo Life:

We’ve always looked at it at a case by case basis and lots of times in the past it made sense to go with Nintendo. I don’t expect this to change anytime soon.

It might be interesting to note that we’re currently generating more income from Nintendo’s eShop than we are from Steam, or any other digital shop for that matter. This was definitely not the case a few years ago.

Two Tribes’ next game is RIVE, which looks like a probable candidate for the Wii U eShop. The game will likely incorporate off-TV play, though the developer hasn’t considered other GamePad usages at the moment.

Yet another Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire scan has emerged from this month’s issue of CoroCoro. The image above showcases Pokemon Contests – in-game shots of the Contest Hall specifically.

Feebas’s evolution is based on contests. We also learn that you can Mega Evolve during contests – boosting the Excite Meter & Appeal – but it can only be done when the Excite Meter is full.

There’s been little news about IronFall since the game’s initial reveal last year. However, despite the silence, VD-Dev has continued to tinker away on development.

VD-Dev’s hard work sounds like it’s paying off, as the studio confirmed on Twitter that the game is 90 percent complete. It also seems that we’ll be hearing about a release date in September. One thing is for sure: IronFall will launch before the end of 2014.

The wait was incredibly long, but the Nuketown 2025 map finally came to Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Wii U yesterday. That might not be the only piece of new content heading to the game.

IGN spotted the Die Rise in Black Ops II’s menus, though it hasn’t actually been added just yet. We’ll have to wait and see if it ends up being accessible.

Nintendo games tend to be evergreen titles. By that, we mean that they’ll continue to sell well after their initial release.

Case and point: the Pokemon games. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, released in 2010, sold an additional 50,000 units between March 2013 and March 2014. Pokemon Black/White managed to move 160,000 units as well during the same time span. Lifetime sales of HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White are at 12.72 million units and 15.58 million units respectively.

Two Pokemon entries that aren’t selling any longer are Diamond and Pearl. They were at 17.63 million units as of March 2013, and nothing has changed since this March.

Like the “impossible coin”, there are other mysterious elements in Super Mario 64. One of these concerns a Goomba that has never been killed.

Bowser in the Sky holds what should be a triangle-formation Goomba group on one of its platforms. However, there is one Goomba that was initially presumed missing.

As it turns out, Super Mario 64 spawns the missing Goomba on the bottom of the map. It’s almost immediately killed due to its location.

Several methods have been created in hopes of defeating the Goomba, but none have worked thus far. It’s quite the mystery!
