Could it be the official unveiling of that Pikachu detective game? If not I'd like to see something non-Pokemon from Game Freak for a change.



Pleasebeforwiiu pleasebeforwiiu!



Just keeping the tradition; milking the franchise in a way that would make Activision feel jealous.



I'm now filled with determination.

Some RPG that isn't pokemon and has action-oriented combat...do it!

I agree, but this isn't logical from a profit perspective. If you can make a game that takes very little resources to make (pokemon handheld compared to HD console game) and a whole lot less time to make, what is the point developing an HD game that is more expensive, takes longer to develop, and won't sell NEARLY as much?

Unfortunately, you're right. I just wish Nintendo would pull the trigger on this eventually and just try. They need popular IPs to sell the Wii U, and Pokemon is one of the most popular IPs ever. And an HD Pokemon RPG has never been done before and if it's marketed correctly, it could move a ton of units. 

But there is a risk, and I wonder if Nintendo will ever be willing to do it anyways. I mean, they did fund Bayonetta, and that was a risk, so who knows?

Whatever it is it won't have a battle frontier because they hate it



Being serious I think it'll be some e-shop game



This isn't news to me at all. It'll be the sequel to XY to release next year, obviously.
