Hey, everybody. It’s your local Gamernut here with a Brand exclusive gaming news article. Well, the year is almost over, but so many games have yet to be released. So, how’s about a quick rundown of the sweet stuff coming your way, loyal gamer?

Fans of Generation 3 Pokémon can look forward to something great on November 21 “Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire” will release on 3DS that day both here and in Japan. The remakes feature new mega evolutions, all your favorite gym leaders, and (most adorably) a Pikachu that wears costumes. Speaking of Pokémon, a collaboration between Nintendo and Namco Bandai will bring the fighting game “Pokkén Tournament” to Japanese arcades in 2015.

By the time this article was released, “Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS” should be available since October 3. This entry of the acclaimed fighting series features new characters such as Mega Man, Pac Man, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, and Mii Fighter, among others. Console standbys need not worry as the Wii U version should be released sometime this holiday.

Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have joined forces to produce “Hyrule Warriors”, a game combining elements of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series and Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series. It is available now for Wii U so you’d better not miss out.

SEGA has been up to something big to be released this holiday.“Sonic Boom” is an upcoming French-American CGI-animated television series in development by OuiDo! Productions in collaboration with SEGA of America based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise created by SEGA. It airs on Cartoon Network this October, with two new games for Wii U and 3DS (Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal respectively). The series features new characters such as Sticks the Badger and an episodic format.

Microsoft has had a few announcements as well. For instance, the new game “Project Spark” is a “game maker” video game for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One coming October 7, 2014. You can use it to create and share your games and movies with other players. Also, this game sees the return of Conker the Squirrel as a playable character. Thanks, Microsoft.

343 Studios has announced “Halo 5: Guardians” exclusively for the Xbox One. This is the second game in the Reclaimer storyline. They’ve also announced “Halo: The Master Chief Collection”, an upcoming compilation of remastered first-person shooter video games from the Halo series for the Xbox One. It consists of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and their multiplayer modes, complete with their full set of add-on content.
