Update: Yacht Club says it’s a “mis-listing” – Shovel Knight coming to retail

Update: Here’s what Yacht Club is saying about the situation:
Physical release of Shovel Knight would be cool! And we're still looking into that! Any retail details are just a mis-listing at this time.
— Yacht Club Games (@YachtClubGames) April 14, 2015
I’m not really too sure what to make of that. Best Buy isn’t one to make mistakes, and we even have the boxart, so… I still think this is going to happen. We’ll see. If we hear anything either way, it’ll be right here on the site.
New product listings on Best Buy’s website reveals that Shovel Knight is seeing a physical release at retail.
Entries for 3DS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions have been spotted. At the moment, it’s unclear if the Wii U version will be receiving the same treatment.
Based on Best Buy’s listings, Shovel Knight’s physical version will cost $29.99. It’s tentatively slated for September 15.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Today, The Pokemon Company properly unveiled Hoopa Unbound, a new form of the Mythical Pokemon Hoopa.
Here’s what you should know about the creature:
Hoopa Unbound is the new and truest form of Hoopa, which until now has had its power sealed away. The rings Hoopa Unbound carries have the power to bend dimensions and are said to allow it to seize anything in the world. After its transformation, Hoopa Unbound is far larger than it was in its previous form, with six huge arms and a greater number of its signature dimension-bending rings.
We also know that Hoopa Unbound has the following stats:
Category: Djinn Pokémon
Type: Psychic/Dark
Height: 21’04” [6.5 m]
Weight: 1,080.3 lbs. [490.0 kg]
Ability: Magician
Hoopa, the 720th Pokemon in the Pokedex, can’t be met under normal circumstances in Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. However, information about how to meet Hoopa will be shared in the future.

Update: Nope – Rumor: Next Mario Kart 8 DLC pack to include Baby Park, Neo Bowser City
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 48 Comments
Update: The dream seems to be dead (thanks EdLambdaTeos). This goes back as far as November of last year, with a GameFAQs member claiming to have found a file with similar contents as what’s posted below. The same user said last week that he made the whole thing up. Doh!
Mario Kart 8 has a file system with a listing of tracks and corresponding streaming audio. Following the release of the game’s first round of DLC, there were 8 tracks in the pack and 13 entries.
Here’s a listing of what we received from the initial batch of downloadable content:
GC_YOSHI_CIRCUIT = GCN Yoshi Circuit
SFC_RAINBOW_ROAD = SNES Rainbow Road
WII_WARIOSMINE = Wii Wario’s Gold Mine
WU_DRAGONROAD = Dragon Driftway
WU_EXCITEBIKE = Excitebike Arena
WU_HYRULE = Hyrule Circuit
WU_ICEPARK = Ice Ice Outpost
WU_MUTECITY = Mute City
These tracks were also included, but did not show up as DLC:
3DS_NEOBOWSERCITY = 3DS Neo Bowser City
GC_BABYPARK = GCN Baby Park
WU_ANIMAL = Animal Crossing
WU_METRO = ?
WU_WOODS = ?
Could these tracks be featured in the next wave of Mario Kart 8 DLC? This is complete speculation at the moment, but if it’s accurate, we could be seeing tracks like Neo Bowser City and Baby Park. People are also wondering if “Metro” could be implying “Metroid”, but I’m not too sure at the moment!
