Zelda collectors can add another item to their wishlists, as trading cards based on the series are set to release on June 30th. Currently, though, the cards are only listed and available for preorder on EB Games Australian site. Each pack retails for $6 and contains 6 cards and a decal or tattoo. There is also a collector’s box for $20, which contains 4 packs, a poster, and 1 of 3 random pins.

There are 85 different cards in the set, including 23 regular foil and 8 gold foil cards. There are also 12 different decals and 9 tattoos. The cards are based on five different games: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and A Link Between Worlds.

Though currently only available for Australia, we can hope that they come to other territories. The cards were first seen at New York Comic-Con, so let’s hope we don’t need to assemble the Triforce for our wish to come true.

CoroCoro, the Japanese magazine, will be getting a tie-in with Splatoon. Leaked images from the upcoming issue show that three new pieces of gear, all emblazoned with the CoroCoro logo, will be hitting the game. These are a Splat Roller (which has the stats of the regular Splat Roller, but comes with a Splash Wall and Inkzooka), an orange cap (with the Damage Up ability), and an orange parka (with the Cold-Blooded ability). These items will arrive in-game early in the summer. Furthermore, more weapons should arrive at the same time, as the next volume of the Sheldon’s Picks weapons.

Seems that the Japanese demo of Ace Attorney 6 may have turned up some extra info on the game. The demo’s English file name is coded as “Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice”, which could very well be the title of the game. However, the text could just be a placeholder, a work-in-progress, or Capcom could even change the name if there are too many objections.

Pokémon Shuffle updates are back, this time bringing a new stage for Bellossom, the return of the Thundurus, and a returning Mega-Swampert stage. All of the stages are available on both the 3DS and mobile versions, and each runs until May 17th.

While the Bellossom and Thundurus stages are pretty standard, the Mega Swampert stage is (as usual for Mega stages) a competition stage, with the best players by region getting better prizes. The coveted Swapertite will go to the top 60,000 players in Japan, 22,000 in North America, and 15,000 in Japan, as well as the top 80,000 Mobile players worldwide. Note that, if you got a Swampertite last time the competition rolled around, qualifying players will get a Mega Speedup instead. A Raise Max Level will be given as a bonus prize to the top 10,000 players in Japan, 3,500 in North America, 2,500 players in Europe, and 15,000 worldwide on Mobile. The top 80,000 Japanese, 30,000 North American, 20,000 European, and 120,000 Mobile players who did not qualify for the Swampertite will get an Attack Power instead, and everyone who played but didn’t qualify for any of those prizes will get a Disruption Delay.
