Financial In Market Japanese retailers visiting Nintendo's mini-expo got quite an eyeful at some very unique and interesting games on display.

Additionally, there will be 200 games to compete in, and another 100 to unlock. The game hits Japan in October.

F-Zero Climax is much like the original SNES F-Zero, as well as GP Legends. In this sequel however, players can spin their vehicles and take out other racers, much like in the N64 and Cube games. There's also going to be a track editor, a fave among F-Zero fans.

Pokemon Emerald will now be compatible with the E-Reader, and will feature 83 cards to use. By going to certain location in the game known as Trainer Hill, Pokemon players can call out other trainers and set up matches. As with anything Pokemon in Japan, it'll will probably be a big success.
