Cash cow — Nintendo chooses you! As they so strongly hinted, it appears from this scan that CoroCoro Comic magazine has revealed the next Pokémon game from Nintendo, called Pocket Monsters Platina (Pokémon Platinum).
We can’t read the scan (because it is both tiny and Japanese), but TheTanooki’s summary of the article describes it as the next game in the Diamond/Pearl series, with Giratina on the cover. It features an online version of the weird Underground feature from Diamond and Pearl, an Emerald-like “Battle Island,” and some new forms for critters like Giratina and Shaymin.
According to TheTanooki, Platinum will be out in September in Japan. All of this is classifiable as “rumor” right now, but that scan looks pretty real.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

According to a post on PSLegion that outlines the latest rumors from PSM3’s “Insider,” Ubisoft may still release a sequel to the 2003 critically acclaimed title, Beyond Good & Evil. While the third-person adventure game was revered as a critical darling when it hit last-gen consoles and PC, the title was a commercial disaster. Within months of its release BG&E had been reduced from $50 to $20 but could never achieve the success seen by other popular Ubisoft debuts that year; Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell.
Other Xbox 360 related rumors from “The Insider” include:
- Prepare for a Leisure Suit Larry movie … (*sigh*)
- EA is returning to Springfield for another Simpsons game … (Are bug fixes optional?)
- Call of Duty 5, currently in development by Treyarch have been working on the game for two years, far longer than the standard nine month process … (Nine months? That explains CoD3. Ba-Zing!)
Rumorang the BG&E sequel talk for now, but we’ve heard this before and we hope it’s legit!
