Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, Mobile, News | 10 Comments
The iOS and Android version of Pokemon Shuffle came out last week in Japan. Today, it’s finally been released in the West as well. It’s free to play, so why not give it a shot?
The 3DS version of the game, meanwhile, is still getting a constant stream of updates. Today, a couple of new stages were added to the game.
First of all, you can face off against the Legendary Pokemon Lugia in a Special stage. This is a timed challenge, giving you only 30 seconds to complete it. This stage will be available until September 14.
Another timed stage has you facing off against Carnivine, giving you one minute to beat it. This stage will be available until September 12th. Like the Wobbuffet stage, this one allows you to use items free of charge.
Finally, a rerun of the Pokemon Safari stages where you can catch Spinda, Cherubi, Cherrim, Carvanha and Sharpedo started today. It will last until September 14th.
Sharpedo will likely be the players’ primary target since next Monday, a new Mega Stone challenge will appear in the game which lets you earn Sharpedo’s Mega Stone.

Zoink on bringing Zombie Vikings to Wii U, could release games on New 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Zoink has discussed the decision to bring Zombie Vikings to Wii U – and hinted at possible New 3DS port.
In a recent interview, founder Klaus Lyngeled said that interest from Nintendo fans as a big reason why the studio will be releasing its new game on the eShop. He additionally mentioned interest in releasing Zombie Vikings on New 3DS along with Stick it to the Man.
Lyngeled’s comments in full:
“Every time we’re out on the social media, and we mention Nintendo, there’s a huge following and they’re so devoted. I feel like we have to do a Nintendo console too, they’re supporting the game community and care about gameplay. With this game, since we’re doing hardcore gameplay, I want to make sure these guys try it and see if they like it since they know their s**t. That’s why I’m releasing it on Wii U, but I’d like to release it on the 3DS as well, but unfortunately our engine doesn’t support the 3DS yet. Now that the New 3DS supports Unity, we might be able to do something in the future, we’ve talked about Stick It To The Man for the New 3DS which I’d love to do. We’d love to release it this year in December, and we want to focus on playing it on the normal Wii Remote so four people can play it simultaneously. I’m not sure we’re going to support the GamePad because it may not make sense, it’s more important to play it with four players.”

Nintendo’s Damon Baker talks more about its indie initiatives and efforts
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Polygon recently caught up with Nintendo’s Damon Baker for a chat about all things indie. Baker talked about how the company doesn’t tend to buy exclusives, its openness to multiplatform titles, and more.
You’ll find a summary of what was shared below. Head on over here for the full discussion.
On how Nintendo as a whole has responded well to the different Nindie initiatives…
“Fortunately, the company has been really receptive of it. They’ve embraced the opportunities that we’ve presented to them, and they see the justification.”
On how Nintendo has been supporting indies for a long time, even though the company doesn’t always get the headlines for it…
“I think the other platforms have come out there, and they’ve done a really good job of amplifying their independent support message, and they’ve gained a lot of traction and a lot of visibility for that.”
“I think we’ve stuck to our strategy for some time. We were the first console to promote self-publishing and to allow it on our platforms. And that was going back to the WiiWare and the DSiWare days.”
