Update (8/24): Bumped to the top. Mighty Switch Force! Academy has been announced, and it’s hitting Steam Early Access tomorrow. What does this mean for Nintendo players? Well, WayForward is open to bringing the game to additional platforms – hopefully Wii U and/or 3DS.

Original (8/20): A tweet sent out on WayForward’s Twitter account has started up the rumor mill once again. The message, posted below, suggests that a new Mighty Switch Force! game is on the way.

We’ve seen two Mighty Switch Force! games on Nintendo platforms thus far. It’d certainly be interesting to see what WayForward would have in store for another game.

Update: Here’s a statement from The Pokemon Company:

“Prior to the event this weekend, our community of players made us aware of a security issue. We gathered information and gave it as soon as possible to the authorities at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center who acted swiftly and spearheaded communication with the Boston Police Department. Due to quick action, the potential threat was resolved. The Pokémon Company International takes the safety of our fans seriously and will continue to ensure proper security measures are a priority.”

According to a report from MyFoxBoston, two men from Iowa were arrested “after allegedly threatening violence to attendees at the Pokemon World Championship in Boston.” Police became aware of threats made on social media this past Thursday, and the two suspects were stopped after trying to enter the event a few hours later.

It was later discovered that the two men several guns in their vehicle that they did not have licenses for. Additionally, police found a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a hunting knife. Once arrest warrants were missed, police made the arrests on Friday afternoon at the suspects’ hotel.

The final day of the 2015 Pokemon World Championships took place today. Things could have potentially ended very badly, but police fortunately were able to take care of the situation.
