ONM understands that the Pikachu-coloured Pichu that’s coming to the US on 30 January will also be available in the UK in the future.

DefaultPrime.com: "Everything is pushed back into 2010 nowadays; it is the cool the to do. Unfortunately Wayforward has decided to hold Shantae: Risky’s Revenge back until Q1 2010 according to Nintendo Power. As of right now we are not sure why the DSiWare exclusive title was delayed, but the more time they put into it the better. Until then Shantae fans will just have to keep on waiting for the sequel to the original Gameboy Color title."

Russ has the RPG enthusiast in mind when he scopes out deals all over the place, saying, "Lots this week, unsurprisingly. The better deals will be this weekend, but there are still plenty of deals to take advantage of this week. As a result, simple lists are in effect."

In comparison to previous weeks, there aren’t too many new games out this week. Many anticipated games have already been released in the last couple of weeks, to prepare for the holiday season. It’s also Thanksgiving week and Black Friday coming up.

A timely release of Scene It? Twilight is out for the Wii, coordinated with The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie debut. Tekken 6 also makes its debut on the PSP platform, following the previously released home console Tekken 6. See what new videogames are out in the week ahead!

Aardman Animations LTD. has created an animation using Flipnote Studio on the Nintendo DSi. Aardman Animations is the studio you may know from popular stop-motion animated features like Chicken Run, Creature Comforts and the Wallace & Gromit series. They put their animation skills to play on the Nintendo DSi’s free application, Flipnote Studio. It basically works like a flipbook, where you draw out frames using the Stylus. You can also share your creations online.

Two new Pokémon adventures are coming to Nintendo this week. On 20th November, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, the latest edition in the dungeon-based Role-Playing Game (RPG) series that has sold over 10,000,000 copies internationally, launches on Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DS across Europe. If that’s not enough for you, the action-packed Pokémon Rumble launches on WiiWare on the same day.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption may not be the last game in the Prime series. With Other M on the way next year, some might have thought that the Prime series had come to an end but, as Nintendo’s Kensuke Tanabe told ONM, the series may still have a future.

Asked whether Samus will ever return to DS, Tanabe (who oversaw Retro Studios’ series for Nintendo) said "We are always planning to make new games in the Metroid Prime series. Depending on the timing and the situation, we cannot deny the possibility of realising it on DS or DSi."
