Let’s Talk #43: What do you think of Pokemon GO?

Pokemon GO was announced about a year ago. But just within the past week, we’ve seen the first off-screen footage and some gameplay screenshots. Niantic and The Pokemon Company divulged new information as well.

Based on what we’ve seen over the past few days, how do you feel about Pokemon GO? Are you less interested compared to the initial reveal, or maybe more? Are you still planning on giving it a shot upon release? Let us know in the comments below.

We kicked off our new comic series last week, and we now have a new one to share with you today. If all goes well, you’ll hopefully see a new entry at around this time every Saturday. You can also get a look at our new banner above that we’ll be using from here on out!

While last week was a one-shot based on Zelda, today we’re introducing our two new characters who will be featured in many of our comics. The strip below pokes a bit of fun at some of the backlash Metroid Prime: Federation Force has been receiving, and some of the petitions that have stemmed from that.

Here’s the new comic (click for full size):

Let us know what you think! Just like last week, we’ll be taking a look at all comments. As we keep this feature going, we’re hoping that the writing will continue to become easier, and hopefully we can incorporate feedback in different ways.

Last night, it became clear that rumors about NX’s controller having been leaked were inaccurate. The person behind the image ended up coming forward and revealed that he had created a fake photo.

There had been a second NX “leak”, but we knew that was fake as well given its the similarities to the original image. This person has now also shown how he made his version of the controller, which was actually a physical item. Check out the video below.

Thanks to alexinfurs for the tip.

Nintendo has updated the Japanese Kirby: Planet Robobot website. With the latest information and footage, two sub-games are showcased: Kirby 3D Rumble and Team Kirby Clash.

Kirby 3D Rumble is actually called Kirby 3D Challenge in Japanese, but the former name should be used in the English version based on what was mentioned in Nintendo’s fact sheet (since removed). As for the actual game, it’s a 3D action spin-off that takes place on a 3D plane. The goal on each stage is to clear out all the enemies, which is done by picking them up and spitting them out (rather than absorbing their powers). Taking out multiple enemies with a shot increases Kirby’s combo and helps wracks up your total score. There are various kinds of terrains and placements in each stage.

Team Kirby Clash is much more well-known, as it was given quite a bit of screen time during the Nintendo Direct earlier in the month. This is an RPG-esque brawl which supports up to four players, including Download Play. You can pick from one of four roles and cooperate with other Kirbys to fight against bosses. It’s also possible to level up and take on more difficult quests. During battle, there will be collectable tablets (Power Tablets) that appear on the screen. If all tablets have been collected, you can activate the co-op skill Team Meteor.

Here’s a look at both sub-games:

Speculation about the NX’s leaked controller is coming to an end.

Reddit user Idriss2Dev, who started the discussions last week, has now posting a video revealing that he came up with a fake product. He shows some of the steps that he went through in attempting to make a believable image. See the video below.

There was also a different “leak” yesterday from a separate user, perkele37. However, you would have to assume that it’s fake as well given their similarities. It’s unclear if perkele37 is the same person as Idriss2Dev, but I think we can dismiss the overall rumors about the NX’s controller at this point.

The following information has also been posted on the official Pokemon website:

Travel between the real world and the virtual world of Pokémon with Pokémon GO for iPhone and Android devices! With Pokémon GO, you’ll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO will use real locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon.

The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. Now the real world will be the setting!
