Ah yes! Another Trailer, another Pokemon. This has surely made the day for a lot of Poke-Fans out there. This trailer, which has now been released on the Japanese Nintento eShop, was shown alongside the latest Pokemon movie and has revealed the newest addition to the next Pokemon generation; Oorotto. Oorotto is a Pokemon that looks a lot like a tree, we don’t have an official description of it so it may or may not actually BE a tree. This Pokemon has actually been known about for a while now with only drawings done by fans circulating the net and I have to say that they all were pretty close to being spot on!

The trailer didn’t just show the new Pokemon, it also showed things like battle sequences. Most of the battles we’ve seen before but one was extremely striking and that was what looks to be an underwater battle which is a great addition to the game seeing as we also have sky battles. It also revealed that the Fire-type starter Pokemon Fennekin can learn a move called Glow Punch. The trailer also had a nice shot of the new Pokemon Legendary style 3DS XL that has only recently been released. It’s not something too big but it’s a nice touch.

Today an English narrated trailer for Girls und Panzer appeared online courtesy of WTK. This trailer was aired during Sentai Filmworks‘ presentation at Anime Expo earlier this month and while it does feature English narration, none of the character’s have been given voice work nor has an English cast been revealed as of yet.

Girls und Panzer follows the story of Miho, who ends up joining a tank combat course, or as the localization is calling it, tankery, where girls will drive and fight one another using real life tanks. This follows quite the trend with Sentai Filmworks and their acquisitions of cute girls with military hardware. Anyways, you can check out the trailer below and keep an eye out for the release itself sometime next year.

Saints Row IV refused classification once again in Australia

saints-rowiv-02

It looks like the attempts to release the original version of Saint’s Row IV have been put to a halt once again. After appealing with the Australian Rating’s board, it has been announced that the game in its original form is still banned. Currently there is a special “Australian Edition” version of the game that may be released.

According to AllGamesBeta, apparently the review board stated that since the game included the use of some drug related items that give the players some sort of boost or incentive for use, the game will be banned from sale or promotion  unless the revised version is submitted for review and passed the board before Deep Silver releases the game next month.
