The website also confirms that the game takes place in the same world as the upcoming anime series and that the game supports local 4-player wireless multiplayer and Streetpass functionality.

There are also several in-game goodies that you get when you buy the game at launch, including a Rainbow Medal (which allows you to catch rare monsters), several stat boosters and one item that lets you evolve on of your monsters. If you buy the retail version of the game, you also get a set of five stickers and one mascot plug (which you can plug into an earphone jack).

Another Monday means another update to Pokemon Shuffle. Several events, including the Mega Charizard one, came to an end today. If you placed high enough, you can claim your Charizardite Y today if you check in.

Keldeo makes a return to the game, having previously been available a couple of months ago. You’ve got one week to catch it.

Finally, Latias is available for the first time via an escalation battle. As per usual, the stage’s level goes up by one each time you beat it, as does Latias’ capture chance. Of interest, however, is that Latias’ Mega Stone, Latiasite, is also available in this stage. You have to beat this escalation battle at level 50 to get it.

Last week it was revealed that several Nintendo characters like Lucina and Chrom from Fire Emblem would be joining the cast of Project X Zone 2. Today, we have confirmation of a couple of non-Nintendo characters appearing in the game via some Korean language screenshots of the game.

The most striking addition is probably Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue. Also joining the cast is Ingrid from Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX. Finally, the screenshots confirm that Estelle from Tales of Vesperia is returning from the first game.
