Miitomo has been updated with new content once again. Players can nab some new items in the latest Miitomo Drop stage, “Go for a hat trick! Soccer Style #2”.

Available items include:

Along with the new Miitomo Drop stage, Nintendo has sent word about maintenance taking place this coming week. The app will be impacted for about six hours on November 9 to prepare for the big update. Once it’s finished, the update will go live.

Maintenance should be taking place at the following times:

– 8 PM in the UK (November 9) – 2 AM in the UK (November 10)
– 9 PM in Europe (November 9) – 3 AM in Europe (November 10)

My Nintendo added in a new set of discount rewards this past week. Strangely, a couple have now been “reduced in price” on the North American website.

Previously, the 30 percent discount on EarthBound for both Wii U and 3DS required 40 Gold Points. Now though, both are down to 30 Gold Points. Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii U has also dropped from 70 to 50 Gold Points.

If you ordered these discounts before they were reduced, you might be out of luck. There’s no way to regain points on the website itself. The only advice we can offer is calling Nintendo’s customer support line – maybe they can provide some assistance.

Niantic is getting the ball rolling on a new Pokemon GO update. The app is being updated to version 1.15.0 on iOS, and version 0.45.0 on Android.

The new Pokemon GO update encompasses three main areas. First, as we heard about recently, daily bonuses are coming to Pokemon GO. Also, when defeating a Gym Leader, a brief period will be in place in which only you can place a Pokemon in the open Gym. Finally, the amount of Prestige a rival Gym loses when you defeat a regular Gym member has increased while the amount of Prestige gained by training at a friendly Gym has been lowered.

Read up on Niantic’s official message after the break.
