Like many retailers, GameStop has a dedicated page in place for Switch. Fans began to notice yesterday that it contained a message stating that you’ll be able to “play Pokemon at home” with the new console.

Now GameStop has removed that tidbit entirely. Actually, the full paragraph in which it was included has disappeared. Could the store have said something they shouldn’t have? No matter the reason, it’s simply not there anymore.

First 4 Figures is now taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Life Size Replica. It comes in deluxe full-color packaging, with a hand numbered base and authenticity card that allows you to purchase the same product number for future pieces in the Zelda Life Size Replica series.

The official dimensions are as follows:

Product Size:
Height – 25 inches (63cm)
Width – 23 inches (58cm)
Depth – 13 inches (33cm)

Similar to other First 4 Figures offerings, two versions of the statue are up for grabs. You can purchase the standard version ($354.99) or exclusive edition ($384.99). In the latter one, there are LEDs in the eyes of Majora’s Mask.

Note that it may take some time for orders to go through. First 4 Figures’ website is being hit with a ton of traffic, so it’s a bit slow.

The second Pokemon Sun/Moon Global Mission has ended. Unfortunately, the results aren’t any different from the first one. Just like the original mission, this one has also ended in failure.

Pokemon Sun/Moon players were tasked with using the Island Scan feature to catch or defeat 1 million Pokemon. Trainers can now receive 217 Festival Coins, but the reward would have been bigger had the mission been successful. Only 661,839 Pokemon were found during the eligible period.

Did you know Big Boos can be defeated by sliding down stairs in Super Mario World. It’s the only Boo in the game that can be taken down in that manner, so perhaps it was an oversight on the part of Nintendo’s developers.

Some players definitely knew about this, but there are plenty who were completely unaware of it. How many of you tried out that little secret back in the day?
