Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer shows starter Pokemon, November 18 release date
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS | 77 Comments
Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were announced at the end of February in celebration of the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Aside from some snippets of development footage, not much was shown. We also haven’t seen much of the games overall since then. Starting today, that’s starting to change.
The first Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer is now up, and it shows quite a bit. Rowlet, Litten, Popplio are confirmed as the starter Pokemon, and we also have a November 18 release date (November 23 in Europe). Alola is confirmed as the major region, and we’re also able to get a glimpse at the two mascot Pokemon.
Take a look at the debut Pokemon Sun/Moon gameplay trailer below.

Elite Beat Agents creator wants to make a new entry in the series
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
It’s been nearly a decade since we last saw an entry in the Elite Beat Agents / Ouendan franchise. That begs the question: will iNiS ever work on a new game? Elite Beat Agents creator Keiichi Yano does seem up for it.
Speaking with Polygon, Yano mentioned the following:
“I have a great relationship with Nintendo. I think, as with many of these types of games that have this following and at some point they come back, I think there will be a right time when it feels like [the series] should come back. A lot of times, the platform will dictate those kind of things.”
Yano also said that he would “certainly love to make another version of it, and hopefully it’s on the next platform.”
Look at the video below for Yano’s full response.
