Zero Time Dilemma director shares Twitter message for fans
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS | 3 Comments
With Zero Time Dilemma releasing, series director Kotaro Uchikoshi has sent a message to the fans via Twitter. The full message, spread out over multiple tweets, reads:
Zero Time Dilemma was made by a small number of staff. I have seen them working very hard day after day within a limited time and asset. I am proud of them. And of course, I am proud of all the fans of ZE series. If there was no passionate action by all the fans, “June 28 in 2016” would become entirely different day from this timeline. I will say over and over again. You guys realized ZTD. The person who made ZTD is you. I really appreciate you. Thank you very much! Now, it’s time to decide. Will you play ZTD or not? The choice is yours.

Details on Hyrule Warriors Link’s Awakening DLC
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Earlier today we reported on the upcoming new DLC pack for Hyrule Warriors Legends. We now have some more concrete info thanks to a translation of the game’s official website by Perfectly Nintendo.
Marin is the big new feature of this DLC pack, being a brand new character. She fights using the Sea Lily’s Bell from Link’s Awakening, which she uses to create shockwaves. She can also summon the Windfish as part of her special attack.
As was previously announced, fan favorite Linkle gets a new weapon, being the Pegasus Boots. They have the lightning attribute and allow Linkle to pummel enemies with a flurry of kicks. She will also get help from her loyal cuccos when using this weapon.
This DLC also features a new Adventure mode map, unsurprisingly based on Koholint Island from Link’s Awakening. Besides the expected (all weapon ranks for Marin’s bell and Linkle’s boots, new My Fairy costumes, Skulltulas and Heart Pieces) this map will also feature Rank 4+ weapons for the other characters. It’s currently not know if these are new designs (unlikely) or if they will be more powerful – they will, however, have two elemental attributes instead of one.
16 new costumes each for the characters and for My Fairy will also be included
Other than some minor bug fixes and additions of new medals and such, an updated that will be released (for free) alongside the DLC pack will also raise the level cap of all characters.

The DLC will cost $6.99 for the 3DS version, $4.99 for the Wii U version, and $9.99 for both. Furthermore, Wii U owners will now be able to pick up two more DLC options. First is the season pass for $9.99 (which will give Wii U owners the Link’s Awakening DLC and the future two packs). Second is the Legends Character pack for $12.99, which gives all the Legends-only characters and weapons.
Pokémon Shuffle’s weekly update brings a new safari, plus repeats
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS, Mobile, News | 1 Comment
Pokémon Shuffle has gotten its usual weekly update for both mobile and 3DS. Most importantly is a brand new Safari event, which will run until July 5th and gives players the chance to catch Shellder, Cloyster, Pidove, Tranquill and Unfezant, plus a chance for special Shiny versions of Magikarp and Gyarados.
There’s another chance to get Gyrados, though, as both a stage for it and Landorus Therian Forme are getting repeat runs until July 5th. Furthermore, a Tornadus Incarnate Forme stage has begun a repeat run, which gets easier with every attempt (but can only be played once a day, and only until June 28th).
The Gyrados love isn’t set to stop, though, as next week is set to bring a competition for Mega-Gyrados. Best get to catching both it and something super-effective for the challenge next week…

New details on Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The Digimon franchise is getting a new entry on 3DS in Japan, and Bandai Namco has provided some more details by opening their official site. The game bases itself (logically) around the fact that, with smartphone apps becoming very popular in the world, new Digimon have come into existence. These special Digimon, called Appmon (short for Appli Monsters), are the basis of the game. Players will build decks around Appmon, which can then grow, fight, and link with other Appmon. New Appmon can also be acquired via QR code. Furthermore, Appmon can be combined via a process called Appfusion to create new Appmon (for example, the website shows that fusing Gacchimon and Navimon will create Dogacchimon).
Though the game is due out on the Japanese eShop this fall, neither a localized release nor a retail release have been announced or dated.
You can also view some screenshots from the official site below.
