Nintendo of Japan and Nintendo of America have announced that they will be revealing a new character Monday at 3pm BST or 10am EST. Who is it? Rumor has it that Shulk of Xenoblade Chronicles fame will be in the game, of course wielding his legendary blade. No, not the master sword, the Monado!
The inaugral PAX South tickets for Jan 23-25 in San Antonio, TX, are now on sale and already, 3-day passes are sold out. Meanwhile, individual passes for all 3 days are still available.
There are no current plans to bring the game which has launched on PS4, Xbox One and PC to Nintendo’s home console.
Japanese magazine Famitsu recently sat down with Level 5, developer of Yokai Watch which was a Japanese hit, and asked whether the game would see a Western release. They said that it was being considered in a big way, do if you’ve wanted to play the game keep your fingers crossed for it might just see a US or PAL release. Meanwhile, its sequel, Yokai Watch 2 has crazy long lines at its release.
Mighty Ape Games, a New Zealand retailer, has claimed on Facebook that the Wii U is outselling the Xbox One. While we don’t have sales figures for either console in New Zealand, it’s a good sign for the Wii U that Mario Kart 8 has boosted both its sales and popularity.

Another fun aspect of Super-Secret Bases is a capture-the-flag activity. Examine the flag beside the Secret PC in another player’s Secret Base to obtain it! You can take one flag per day from each base visited. Visit lots of Secret Bases and collect lots of flags to improve your...
