San-Diego Comic con is now over but we can all still revel in the news that has come out of it. Like Pokemon Go news!
Niantic has released the final designs for the team leaders of Mystic, Valor and Instinct. Blanche, Candela, and Spark…..really? Spark? is it ’cause the team color is yellow and we associate it with Zapdos and electric type? Real original…
I like their designs, they really match with the design that was given to prof-SPARK! WHAT WHERE YOU THIN-…sorry sorry. They do match professor Willows design.
Here are some bullet points of what was discussed at the panel
The legendary birds are tied to teams in some way.
We can’t expect Legendaries until after the game has been released in all regions.
There are Easter Eggs that nobody has found yet.
Pokemon Centers are coming
There will be more functionality added to gyms.
They know about the three step glitch but no word on when it will be fixed.
Niantic says the game is at about 10% of what they want it to be
Only 10%, huh? I can imagine why, what with missing features so far like trading and trainer Pokemon battles. I’m excited for Pokemon Go’s future.
We had another amazing opportunity to speak with some very influential people in fighting game development. This time, we got a chance to speak briefly with SNK’s Yasuyuki Oda (producer) Eisuke Ogura (illustrator/graphic designer) Hayato Watanabe (battle designer), Neo_G (lead game designer) and Keisuke Nishikawa (SNK Marketing/stand-in translator) about King of Fighters XIV. Again, we wish we were prepared with more questions, but it is very clear how thankful they are to see KoF XIV be met with so much success in North America.
Also, be sure to check out the KoF XIV demo out now. The demo will have 7 playable characters: Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Mai Shiranui, Shun’Ei, Sylvie Paula, King of Dinosaurs and Nelson.
Juri will officially be added to the Street Fighter V roster on July 26th -much sooner than we expected. You can also expect to see her story and battle costumes on the 26th. Check out some screen shots below!
