Pokemon Shuffle: Latias escalation battle, Keldeo returns
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
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.

Several new Project X Zone 2 characters revealed, including Ryo from Shenmue
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
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.
