Nintendo has updated its Japanese website with a brief notice regarding the status of Wii U. Text on the console’s page simply states: “Production is scheduled to end soon.” This applies to both models of Wii U currently available in Japan.

It’s been rumored that Nintendo would be moving on from Wii U production, though the company recently denied such speculation. Today’s news would indicate that the big N will be moving on from its current console sooner rather than later.

Here’s the rundown:

1. Send a message with a Mii!
You can exchange messages with your friends using Mii characters as messengers. Be sure to choose an expression that matches the message!

YouTube user PtoPOnline has unearthed an interesting pitch from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer Climax Studios. During the GameCube era, the company was hoping Nintendo would give the green light on Diddy Kong Racing Adventure.

Big plans were in store for Diddy Kong Racing Adventure even though Nintendo decided not to go ahead with the pitch. Climax had a story in mind, with the intent of bringing back the Adventure Mode and multiple vehicles from the original Diddy Kong Racing. Also in place was a mount system so that players could move positions on their vehicle or move to a separate one entirely. Climax was looking to include fourteen different characters with unique attacks for each as well. 4-player multiplayer, along with a slew of other modes, were also in the pipeline.

Plenty of additional details about Diddy Kong Racing Adventure can be found in the video below.

Pokemon GO’s latest update has begun rolling out, and it seems like there’s more than just the officially documented changes in it. Data miners at The Silph Road discovered data for 100 new Pokemon in the update – everything from Chikorita to Celebi, i.e. the whole of generation 2. Moveset data for these Pokemon seems to not have been added yet.

That’s not all, though – data for Ditto and its signature move, Transform, has also been found in the update.

Of course, keep in mind that this is all just datamined info at this point – these new Pokemon are not available in the actual game yet, and all of this info is subject to change.
