The first shot of Magiana – a brand new Pokemon – has emerged. Get a look at it above.
Magiana is classified as a Man-Made Pokemon. It has a metallic body, with text stating that it was ‘made by human hands’. The Pokemon was created over 500 years ago. No word on its type. Volcanion is chasing Magiana – only it knows Magiana’s secret.

Nintendo bringing Picross 3D: Round 2 to Europe
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Picross 3D 2 came to Japan last October. There hasn’t been any news about the amiibo-supported puzzle game heading west, but a classification discovered by Nintendo Everything reveals plans for localization.
The USK, Germany’s ratings board, has added in a listing for “Picross 3D: Round 2”. Although it submitted towards the end of last year, the listing was only made public recently.
Nintendo has yet to officially announce Picross 3D: Round 2 for Europe. However, the listing suggests that news should be on the way soon. It’s also unclear if Nintendo has any plans for the game in North America.

Fire Emblem Fates’ western release still has face rubbing under certain conditions
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 104 Comments
There’s been plenty of talk surrounding Fire Emblem Fates since it was reported that the title wouldn’t feature the petting mini-game included in the original Japanese release. It’s been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least, but believe it or not, we have something new pertaining to the situation.
Apparently, the petting mini-game hasn’t been cut entirely. We’re hearing that it’s still there for units that have S-supports and/or potentially A+ supports with Corrin.
We’ve embedded the relevant portion from GameSpot’s episode of “The Lobby”, which talks about how the mini-game hasn’t been entirely removed. One editor speaks about rubbing your marriage partner’s face to wake them up and blowing into your 3DS’ microphone to remove steam after they’ve taken a bath.
