From the Nickelodeon Animation Studios, just released about a week ago, I'm falling in love with their new podcast!  I've had a passion for comics and animation since I can remember, and I think this podcast really captures those same vibes.  Host Hector Navarro, sits down and chats with animation bigwigs to get an inside scoop on new and old beloved cartoons.  I'll provide the first two shows below!

Today we received a look into the new Pokémon series Sun and Moon!  The new region Alola appears to be Hawaiian themed.  Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio will be our 3 starter Pokémon (gallery below).  The new trailers and box art display our new main Legendary Pokémon, names have not been released, but we'll look forward to those.  Lastly, we received some in game footage and battle sequences, two characters that could potentially be the professor or professors, what our hero characters look like, and maybe a Mother and friend/rival character as well.  Pokémon Sun and Moon will be available on November 18, 2016 in North America!

I just want to add that I'm really excited to see that these games are moving away from the the top down view.  The characters look less Chibi and more proportionate.  In recent games we would see a combination of the Chibi look with proportionate battle scenes or cut scenes.  Going off this footage, the game looks proportionate throughout, similar to how Pokémon Colosseum looked in the GameCube days.  I can't wait to hear more news as we get closer to the release!

With E3 in the horizon, we get our first glimpses of what's to come!  Dice and EA are back at it again with today's released trailer of Battlefield 1.  This game is going to look beautiful if it's anything like Star Wars Battlefront.

Nintendo's info awaited mysterious NX console finally got some official news from the source!  March 2017 is our new window for the NX and the newest in development Zelda game.  Isn't it a little strange not to launch a new console before the holiday season?  What're your thoughts?

The new Legend of Zelda game will launch on both the Wii U and the NX, similar to the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princes on Wii and GameCube back in 2006.  Nintendo also mentioned that E3 2016 will focus on this new Zelda game, unclear if the physical NX console will be unveiled at the event.
