Risky Boots was revealed as the winner of the CharaGumin figurine poll awhile back, and the company has been hard at work bringing that figurine to life. While we still don't have a release date for the figurine, we have finally gotten our first look at how things are coming alone. I think the figurine is looking pretty fantastic so far!
Not every plan and idea can come to fruition in a film, and Detective Pikachu is no different. In an interview with Comicbook.com, Detective Pikachu co-writer Dan Hernandez revealed a scene that they unfortunately had to leave on the cutting-room floor.
"There was a sequence at one point that I was very excited about that was going to be in a Pokemon natural history museum. It seemed like this city would have a museum of some kind. There were a lot of different Pokemon represented in that sequence as well."
PDI Check is an interactive multiple-choice game utilizing the unique color, 3-dimensional screen on the Nintendo 3DS™ system to quickly and accurately measure near visual acuity, color vision and stereopsis.
Well thsi is certainly an interesting find. PDI Check is on the 3DS eShop right now, and you can grab it for the low, low price of just $100. I can't even fathom how Nintendo let this happen! Clearly this is a cash grab, but I guess there's no rule against how high you can price your title? I wonder if anyone will buy it...
As we near E3 2019, leaks are bound to happen. Ubisoft always seems to be the target of leaks, and that may have happened once again. Supposedly one of their upcoming titles has been leaked, and it's called Roller Champions. Here's all the details we know so far.
- quick play matches, ranked matches, custom matches and tournaments
- sound options menu allows you to change certain aspects such as the crowd, music, voices, sound effects
- includes a streamer mode
- 2 aiming modes (Price and Flick) and will allow you to alter the X and Y sensitivity.
- online only
Ubisoft isn't likely to comment on this leak's validity, so we'll just have to wait and see if it gets revealed at E3 2019.
Not that long ago, a collection of Famitsu columns from Masahiro Sakurai was released. Fans have since picked the book up and pored over its contents. Below you can find a summary of the more interesting details.
