Pokemon Black/White – New Pokemon Revealed Via Artwork
The guy on the top, since his proximity to Jessie, I would have to guess might be a new evolution in the Koffing line. The little guy on the far left looks like what might be a new dragon type. The two in the middle are most definitely evolutions of the water and grass starters. Of course, this is all subject to change, since this is just character art.

3DS Might Actually Release This Year
Remember when Reggie told us the 3DS would be out next year? Insiders say he was wrong. I want to believe this so bad, but I see no reason why Reggie would lie, unless he really wants to troll us. Or perhaps it is just a ruse, so he can surprise us. In any case, I hope Kotaku’s contact is right. The 3DS would make one heckuva Christmas gift, and Nintendo would surely lose some of that extra holiday rush money.

VC/WiiWare/DSiWare – June 28, 2010
Nintendo Download
Should Old Acquaintance Be (Half) Forgot?
Three … two … one! Happy Half Year! Well, 2010 is just about half way behind us now (or, if you’re an optimist, half way ahead of us). Either way, why not make a half-resolution to try out some new downloadable games? This week Jett Rocket zooms onto the WiiWare™ service to thwart the plans of the awesomely named Power Plant Posse. The Nintendo 64™ classic Mario Tennis™ on the Virtual Console™ service reminds tennis fans that most matches last less than 11 hours. And Maestro! Green Groove on the Nintendo DSiWare™ service lets you become a virtuoso, as everything you do in the game becomes music.
We’ve also got new arrivals in the “Big Name Games” section of the WarioWare™: D.I.Y. series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry’s most talented figures. This week we have some new additions from the Treehouse, Nintendo’s game localization team. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points™ to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii™ system today to learn more about these games.
3DS to Release Next Year, Says Reggie
On last night episode of Late Night with Unfunny Douche (or Jimmy Fallon if you prefer), Reggie revealed that the 3DS will not launch this year. This is going to be a huge hit, as far as I’m concerned. Missing the Christmas shopping season will surely be a loss. Still, I can still see this thing selling in the gillions, no matter what month it launches in. REEEEEEEEEGIIIIIIIIIEEEE!
Warren Spector <3’s 3DS
“I can be pretty stubborn and when I decide I know something or I’m right about something, I don’t often change my mind…Well, I just want to say I’ve been completely wrong about 3D all my life. I never got it before. Until now.” -Warren Spector
This is good news. Perhaps we’ll see something along the lines of Deux Ex 3DS? Any port of his games would be welcomed. Can we just all agree that the 3DS is actually amazing as everyone is making it out to be? Can you believe there are still some Goombas out there who are impressed? Psh. To heck with them. HECK

3DS DOA will have “Jiggle”
“In the end, I noticed that no one had shown a demo showcasing the motion sensing technology. When suddenly I heard a conversation from the DOA demo table: ‘If you shake the system… yes, they jiggle.’”
Well it wouldn’t be a DOA game without “Shake” now would it? I wonder if we’ll see some Beach Volleyball ports to the 3DS. And to think, I thought it was going to be an all ages system. Ball’s in your court, PSP2.
