Nintendo has announced Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, a remake of the 2006 roguelikes in which players take on the role of a human that has been transformed into a Pokemon.

Releasing on March 6, 2020, Rescue Team DX recreates the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team. Like those original games, players must take a personality test at the start of the adventure to determine the type of Pokemon they will become. Both the player’s form and their partner Pokemon are chosen from a pool of 16 creatures.

A demo will be available later today at 7am PT / 10am ET / 9pm UK, and save data can be transferred to the full game.

Spoilers follow for the Short Trek episode “Children of Mars,” along with speculation about how it could tie into Star Trek: Picard.

The last episode of the second series of Short Treks just dropped, and not surprisingly “Children of Mars” serves as a prelude to the new Picard show which debuts on January 23. Up until now, the creators of Star Trek: Picard -- which sees the return of Patrick Stewart to the iconic title role after an almost 20-year break -- have kept pretty quiet about what the show will be about. But “Children of Mars” clearly sets up what will surely be a major element of the show.

How Picard Connects to “Children of Mars”

The short is mostly a wordless but effective tale about a couple of schoolgirls on Earth whose parents work out at the Federation shipyards on (and above) Mars. The two wind up in a spat, which escalates over time into a full-blown physical fight, but when tragedy strikes, they find themselves united. And it’s that tragedy that connects to Star Trek: Picard.
