Pokemon Sun & Moon: Fifth Global Mission now underway
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The fifth Global Mission in Pokemon Sun & Moon has begun. This time, the goal is to hatch as many eggs as possible – 200,000 is the goal. If this goal is reached by April 10th, 23:59 UTC, the mission is considered a success and all players will receive 2000 FC. Failure will result in 200 FC instead. As per usual, these rewards are doubled if your save game is tied to a Global Link account.
Furthermore, if players contribute 3 or more hatched eggs to the cause, they will receive a Rare Candy. If a total of 400,000 eggs are hatched between all players, everyone with a Global Link account will receive a Love Ball.

Pocket Rumble misses its targeted March release date
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments
Pocket Rumble was one of the many promising indie games revealed for Switch lately and initially, the 2D brawler was targeted for a release in March. We are now quickly approaching the end of March and unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Pocket Rumble will make its targeted release date. Developer Cardboard Robot Games had the following to say on Twitter:
We’re currently unable to comment on the release date of Pocket Rumble. As soon as that changes we can and will post more info.
We know this isn’t the news you wanted to hear. Thank you so much for your overwhelming support so far. We love you guys!
This is definitely disappointing, but hopefully the delay won’t be too bad.

Fire Emblem Heroes: Twitter quiz challenge going well so far, all players getting orbs and feathers
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 1 Comment
The Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account is currently holding a quiz competition. Each day, they pose a question about Fire Emblem with four possible answers, and if most people choose the correct answer, rewards will be delivered to all Fire Emblem Heroes players. Yesterday, the quiz wrapped up its “Hard” round of questions and all were answered correctly, which means that everyone will receive at least five orbs and 2,500 Hero Feathers on April 7th. Even better rewards are possible if people answer the “Lunatic” round of questions, which start today.
Dragon Quest XI (3DS): Gameplay difference between 2D and 3D mode detailed
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
While the screenshots posted on the official Dragon Quest XI website mostly covered stuff we already knew about, there was one interesting new piece of information in there. As it turns out, the ability to switch between the classic 2D sprite look and the more modern 3D appearance in the 3DS version of the game is more than just cosmetic. In 2D mode, battles start via random encounters. In 3D mode, you can actually see the monsters as you walk around – and you can attack them to gain a preemptive strike. Conversely, monsters will attack you first if they see your approach.

Changes coming soon to Fire Emblem Heroes: 99 max stamina, change starting positions, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 7 Comments
The Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account has detailed some of the changes and updates soon coming to the game, and Reddit user Van24 has kindly translated them.
First of all, you will be able to adjust the starting positions of your units at the beginning of each battle. As long as you haven’t taken the first action, you can swap them around as often as you wish.
Next, some adjustments will be made to the experience earned by characters between 1-star and 4-star rarity. Specifically, the lower the star rank of a unit, the more experience they will earn fighting lower level enemies.
Finally, the maximum amount of stamina will be increased from 50 to 99. Orbs and Stamina Potions will then also refill 99 stamina.
These changes will go live with an update that will be available sometime in April.
