Coming from the Wall Street Journal...

Nintendo’s earnings briefings for media and analysts have often been an opportunity for the company to unveil what’s coming up next, but by custom the company doesn’t hold one for the first quarter, which a Nintendo spokesman confirmed would be the case this time as well.

This is just a reminder, as the blurb above says. Nintendo has been doing this with their Q1 results for quite some time now, and they're not planning to change it this year. As for when the Q1 2018 results will be revealed, that info comes next Wednesday.

- “Catfish” directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are in final negotiations
- the pair is looking to direct and write the script for a “Mega Man” movie
- this will come from Fox and Chernin Entertainment
- Fox-based Chernin was a producer on “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Hidden Figures,” “Snatched,” and “War for Planet of the Apes.”

Step 1

Anchors Away!
When raising your stick to drop on the next rock, try to aim for the purple anchor points on them. A direct hit on the anchor is worth more points than simply landing elsewhere on the platform.

Step 2

Combo Creator
The secret to racking up high scores is to land consecutive direct hits on the anchors. The first perfect shot is worth two points, the second is worth three, the third is worth four, and so on.

Step 3

Precarious Perch
There isn’t a lot of wiggle room when it comes to having a safe place for your Pokémon to stand, so take exceptional aim when landing your stick on a narrow rock.

Step 4

Sound Strategy
As you raise your stick, it makes a distinct clicking noise. These audio cues can help your timing as you determine how long you need to make your stick.

We all have things we regret in life. Choices we've made that turned out to be not that great. John Leguizamo has quite a big one. He just revealed that he turned down a role in the Oscar-winning drama Philadelphia to instead play Luigi in the Super Mario Bros. movie. Leguizamo's career has continued on and brought him great success, but this one decision nags him to this day!

As every Pokemon movie does, the latest Pokemon movie teased the next entry in the franchise. At the end of Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You!, there was a tease for Pokemon: The Movie 2018. No other details about the movie were given, but we don't expect to hear anything for quite some time.

Coming from the dev team behind Pixelmon...

“With much sadness, but keeping all our fond memories, we must announce that Pixelmon is ending its development. We have had a great time making this mod and creating such a wonderful community but after a request from the Pokémon company we will be shutting our doors.”

There's no official word on what exactly caused Pokemon Co. to go after the mod after all this time.

Sounds like there's a bit of bad blood there! We've heard that Konami is a pretty hellish place to work. Seems like they might be a pain to work alongside as well. I guess the Castlevania content NECA released is the only line we're going to get.
