Switch eShop adding PayPal payment option
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 30 Comments
Update: The PayPal option has now been activated worldwide.
Original: The Switch eShop is adding a brand new payment option. Going forward, system owners will be able to use PayPal to add funds to their balance.
PayPal can’t be used directly with Wii U or 3DS. However, any game purchased on Nintendo’s website can be used with PayPal. That means if you’re purchasing a Switch, Wii U, or 3DS game on the site, PayPal is an option if you’re short on funds.
We are seeing the PayPal option on Switch in Japan at present. However, nothing appears to be live in North America or Europe. Today’s announcement did indicate that the PayPal option will be extended worldwide, so we’ll let you know if we see anything.

Generation III Pokemon spotted in Pokemon GO update data, new “Super Incubator” item
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 9 Comments
Niantic appears to be laying the groundwork for Generation III Pokemon in Pokemon GO. Fans have discovered a new update the company is preparing, and spotted 135 Pokemon in the APK metadata.
Note that this doesn’t necessarily indicate that Generation III is imminent. The Silph Road anticipates that it will take some time before any of these creatures show up. Niantic has yet to provide sound files for each species, and new moves could be added in as well. Both of these are needed before Generation III can go live.
In any case, these are all of the Pokemon listed:

Super NES Classic Edition has a replay feature and more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
In the new Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom trailer Nintendo published today, some of the features are shown off. Some of these were previously unannounced. Others are returning from the NES Classic Edition.
First, Nintendo has included a replay feature. You can use the “L” and “R” buttons to scroll back and forward in time, or pause by pressing “Y”. As an example, if you die while taking on a boss, you can replay that particular section without having to start over.
Nintendo also showed that it’s possible to choose from one of twelve frames to cover the screen’s background (where the game isn’t showing). These include a standard black background, city skyline, space, and more.
The Super NES Classic Edition will have the types of features you’d expect like save / restore points in different slots and display modes. Analogue (CRT), 4:3, and Pixel Perfect options will be available.
