  There has been new Pokémon Corocoro leaks for its August 2016 issue, and those Pokémon are Kiteruguma (キテルグマ) and Mimikkyu (ミミッキュ).

The first Pokémon is Kiteruguma, it's a Normal/Fighting type that's resembles a bear with a brown body but a pink face, and has the ability Fluffy or Klutz, no word on what those abilities do. 

The second Pokémon is Mimikkyu, it's a Ghost/Fairy type with the ability Disguise, it doesn't like the sun light and prefers the dark witch could be a reason why it has a cloth over it.

That's it with this months Corocoro Magazine leaks and stay tune for more information as they come as it is most likely these Pokémon might have a name change for the English release.

Pokémon Go Launched

      On July 6, 2016 Pokémon Go launched and is now available for anyone to download on your android device or i-phone. In Pokémon Go, you go walking outside and try to catch Pokémon, you can use items to help you catch more Pokémon and evolve them. The game also has micro-transactions that range for $0.99-$99.99, if you have that much money to blow. The game is 118MB in size, and a few things to keep in mind while playing the game is that its been reported to crash and drain your battery also added to the fact that the servers go down sometimes so you can't even log in. As shown here in this twitter post: from Twitter user @NWPlayer123  where she got this "White orb of Doom", where she couldn't get off the game or shut off her phone or anything.

There are other reports about the game that are a little more, awkward to say the least. One where a police station had to tell players that they didn't need to enter the police station in order to collect their Pokéballs and that Sandshrew wasn't going anywhere.

And there's another more freaky story where a 19-year-old girl found a dead body while playing the game... yeah, that happened.

So with all that, Pokémon Go seems to be doing a good job making its presents and try not to let the negatives get in your way from downloading the game and playing, it seems to be getting good reception. But a message for all players, and it goes without saying, be careful, watch where your going, stay safe and be responsible. But one more message, if you want to see Pokémon Go gameplay come to my YouTube channel where I'll be uploading gameplay soon. (Will update when gameplay is uploaded.)

amiibo Check In! #1 E3 2016 6/29/16

So on E3 2016, Nintendo announced some new amiibo for the Super Mario Series Line, but the way they announced it at first with the Waluigi amiibo was really random but funny. Twitter user @midnight , (link to their Twitter page: https://twitter.com/midnight), asked Nintendo, ".@NintendoAmerica Next year Santa will have Waluigi Amiibos for us all, right?" and Nintendo responded, ".@midnight Yup.". After that Nintendo followed up with announcing the rest of the amiibo for the Super Mario Line, which are Wario, the previously mentioned Waluigi, Daisy, Rosalina, Boo, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong.

This new wave of amiibo are will be the first appearance of Waluigi, Daisy and Boo, as amiibo, and fun fact: the Boo amiibo is actually glow in the dark, so that's a cool touch. There has been no information on what the actual amiibo will do in Mario Party: Star Rush as of yet, so stay tune for future updates. All these amiibo will be compatible with Mario Party: Star Rush and will launch on November 4, 2016.

Along side that, Nintendo also announced new amiibo for the upcoming Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. These amiibo include Link (Archer), Guardian, and Link (Rider).

These amiibo are set to release in 2017, presumably in March 2017 when the game releases on Wii U and NX. No word on what they will actually do in game yet, so stay tune for more details. But at the Nintendo Treehouse, they did confirm what the Wolf Link amiibo will do, when you tap the amiibo on the Wii U game pad, Wolf Link will appear and help you fight enemies and kill animals for food.

With that Nintendo showed off more amiibo stands where you can place your amiibo in style. These new displays are the Fire Bar stand, where you can wind up the fire bar and it'll spin. The second is the Master Sword Stand, this one plays music when you pull the Master Sword out, the song it plays is the song of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when Link pulls the Master Sword out of its pedestal. Finally the Classic Donkey Kong display, which unlike the previously mentioned amiibo stands, can hold up to Nine amiibo while the others only hold One. The Fire Bar Stand and the Master Sword Stand will sell for $14.99, and the Classic Donkey Kong Stand will sell for $19.99, and all of them will be available on July 28, 2016, but of course you can pre-order them on Amazon.

Picture from: @Amiibonews on Twitter, and check out their website: http://nintendoinquirer.com/amiibo-news/

That's pretty much all the news on amiibo this past E3, what did you think, are amiibo going to shine and bring new gameplay features or will they continue to dump and just more plastic collecting dust on your shelf? Will like to here your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget to stay tune for more amiibo news and other gaming related topics.

The Legend of Zelda for Wii U will be coming to NX

           

 Last week Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda for Wii U will be coming for the NX, and like the NX the new Zelda game will launch in 2017. Along side this, Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U is the only game they'll have playable for this years E3. Yeah, as you may see, fans aren't taking this to lightly. With this, the future of Nintendo is starting to become, questionable, but even that's an understatement. So it seems that even with all that Nintendo's been through they still haven't learned anything, one can only hope for a good future for Nintendo, but even the most dedicated of fans find that hard to see.      
     

Amiibo Check In!

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted here, but I'm back, and I'm going to start a new series called, "amiibo Check In!". (Title could use some work, I know but think it's decent.) Anyways, what this is going to be is a series of post where I keep you updated on the latest amiibo news, either a new amiibo announcement, news on compatible games, discussions, ect. I'll try to keep you updated every one to two weeks or so, depends on how the news flows. So yeah, hope you come to see the post, and we'll see how this turns out. Have a good day, and see ya.

Minecraft for the Wii U Announced

So the big announcement for Monday was actually Minecraft for the Wii U, or Minecraft Wii U Edition. It already has the release date of December 17, 2015, right in time for the holidays.
But there's just a little problem, no one really seems to care. Yeah for some people this is really exciting, but the majority of the gaming community seems to really care less, with some people saying that it's pointless because with the NX rumored to be coming next year, it doesn't really seem that putting Minecraft on the Wii U will do any good, and this is something that should have been done back in 2013. Though all of these things are understandable, and pretty much true, it's nice to see the game finally come to the Wii U, and it'll be another game you can put on your bucket list of Wii U games for this holiday, along with the "amazing" holiday line up Nintendo has already.

Once again, Minecraft for the Wii U will release on December 17, 2015 and will included six game packs, with more being planned for the future, along with off TV play. So what do you think, is Minecraft for the Wii U pointless at this point, or your just happy that it's here now.
