Update: Added in a higher-quality version of the trailer.

Original: Another new character has been confirmed for the arcade version of Pokken Tournament. However, the roster addition comes as a bit of a surprise. While many expected Empoleon to be announced, Croagunk will instead be joining the fighting title.

Here’s a trailer as shown during a Niconico live stream today:

An animated film based on Bandai Namco’s Klonoa is in development. The film is being produced by Henshin, a U.S. animation company. There is currently no information on when production will start or release. Henshin founder Rob Pereyda will lead production, and Hitoshi Ariga will co-produce, design, and write for the film. Pereyda has previously worked on adaptations of other Bandai Namco franchises (Bravoman, Mappy, and Wonder Momo), while Ariga has done lots of work on Mega Man manga and designed several Pokemon for Pokemon X and Y.

Klonoa games have released on the Game Boy Advance and the Wii, and one of the GBA titles (KLONOA: Empire of Dreams) is available on the Wii U Virtual Console.

Another new character will be revealed for the arcade version of Pokken Tournament on November 1. On the official Japanese website, Bandai Namco teased the upcoming news. The announcement will take place during a Niconico stream per usual.

News will drop at roughly the following times:

– 4 AM PT
– 7 AM ET
– 12 PM in the UK
– 1 PM in Europe

Thus far, Darkrai and Scizor have been added to Pokken Tournament in arcades. Both were spotted in update files from the Wii U version several months ago along with Empoleon. Because of that, it’s likely then that Empoleon will be the newest character for Pokken Tournament.

Dragon Ball Fusions isn’t your typical Dragon Ball game. These days, especially in the west, the franchise is more connected with fighting. Fusions is much different in both its art style and approach to gameplay with a focus on the RPG genre.

Dragon Ball producer Masayuki Hirano recently spoke to GameReactor about what the developers set out to achieve with Fusions. About this, he explained:

“This game was mainly focusing on kids in Japan who liked Dragon Ball, and we noticed that there are a lot of kids who like for example Pokemon or Yo-kai Watch. These adventuring RPG aspects are really loved by kids, so that’s one of the reasons why we decided to create Dragon Ball Fusions. Another thing is that when you talk about a Dragon Ball game, it gives the player an impression that it’s a fighting game, so then we thought is there other ways to enjoy Dragon Ball games, so that’s how we came up with Dragon Ball Fusions.”

Dragon Ball Fusions is heading to North America on December 13 and February 2017 in Europe.

Bandai Namco announced today that an update coming to Dragon Ball: Fusions on November 2nd is going to add two characters from Dragon Ball Super: Trunks and Goku Black. Naturally, since this game is all about fusions, both of these characters will get special EX fusions: Trunks (from Super) can fuse with regular Trunks to form Trunks (EX), while Goku Black can fuse with Broly to form Karoly Black. Make sure to take a look at the gallery below:

Dragon Ball: Fusions has already been confirmed for a Western release, so it’ll be interesting to see how this update will be handled. Will it be included in the base game or released at a later date? Either way, we will keep you informed.

Following in the trend set by Bethesda,  several major game publishers and developers have commented on the Nintendo Switch, but refrained from revealing specific details about any projects.

IGN has organized the comments about the Nintendo Switch made by the many different publishers and developers into an article on their site, and have rounded up some noteworthy comments. While most of these are as similarly vague as the comments made by Bethesda and Ubisoft,  it’s impressive to see so much support from third parties for the Switch.

A representative from SEGA had this to say about the Nintendo Switch:

SEGA and Nintendo have been great partners over the years, and we continue to with our support of the Nintendo Switch. We look forward to revealing specific game plans soon, but have nothing further to announce at this time

From Altus:

We’re excited to be supporting the Nintendo Switch and believe the games we publish are a perfect fit for the portable nature of the console
