Since his debut in the 80’s, Nintendo’s famous plumber has spawned a plethora of games, touching upon nearly every genre and delivering smiles to people all over the world. Shigeru Miyamoto’s excellence in game design and character creation is one that’s been seminal and is responsible for copious amounts of developers’ paths to where they are today.
Until Super Mario 64, most mainline Super Mario games had been side-scrolling platformers. With its addictive gameplay and unique design, Mario went on to become one of the gaming world’s most unique and well known characters in gaming history. Mario has become an iconic character known globally even to those unfamiliar with the medium. With countless ROM hacks for the various Super Mario titles from the original to 3 to World plaguing the internet for years, now you can design your own Mario levels seamlessly with the Wii U GamePad easily, and the possibilities are endless.

Pokémon Shuffle update: Darkrai event, new stages, Garchompite and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS eShop | 3 Comments
A new update is out for Pokémon Shuffle and with it comes a slew of stages, events, and more!
Darkrai:
Darkrai now has a special event live once you grab the new patch, Version 1.2.12, that grants you the ability to catch the legendary Pokémon. The Darkrai event is slightly different from traditional events, in that this will be performed as an Escalation Battle, which increases in difficulty the more you play but increases the catch rate the higher you go. Once you reach Level 5 of the Darkrai event, you’ll be given an EXP x1.5, Disruption Delay at Level 10, Mega Start at Level 30, and Mega Speedup at Level 50.
New Stages:
Along with the Darkrai event comes a plethora of new stages which puts Pokémon Shuffle’s stage count at well over 200, adding ten more normal stages and three Expert stages.
Rotom Returns:
Rotom makes a return to Pokémon Shuffle giving players another chance to catch the various forms – each one assigned a day of the week – until August 29th. Rotom and its various forms can’t be obtained through normal play, making these special events the only way to get them, so if you haven’t had a chance to collect them all, now’s your chance!
Garchompite Distribution:
Last week a competition was held globally for Pokémon Shuffle fans for a chance at winning a Garchompite if they were able to rank in their respective regions. If you were one of the lucky 40k in North America, 100k in Japan, or 20k in Europe, you should be receiving your Garchompite now soon after you update your game by selecting the Check In button. For those that attempted the stage but didn’t rank, you will still be awarded a Jewel. Let us know if you were able to get the Garchompite!
