CoroCoro will be offering Charizard to Pokemon X/Y players next month.

Through the distribution event, those playing Pokemon X can receive Charizard holding Charizardite Y. Pokemon Y players, on the other hand, will earn a Charizard holding Charizardite X.

CoroCoro’s distribution works much like the Garchomp event last year. Readers will receive a serial code which can then be used to obtain the Pokemon.

Today, Zen United has confirmed a special “Life and Hometown” edition for Senran Kagura Burst. Consumers who purchase the package will receive a copy of the game, A3 3D lenticular poster, and a unique t-shirt.

The Life and Hometown edition for Senran Kagura Burst will be sold on FunStock. Pricing is set at £49.99. Only 500 copies will be produced, so it sounds like this could end up being pretty limited.

Brace yourself for a fairly long Nintendo Direct presentation – at least in North America. The broadcast is expected to last approximately 41 minutes.

My guess would be that the European and Japanese streams will vary in length, though perhaps just slightly. We do know that Satoru Shibata will be appearing in the European presentation.

Anyway, it sounds like Nintendo could have quite a bit to show. Should be fun!

Circle Entertainment recently revealed to Nintendo Everything that the publisher will be bringing Quell Reflect to the eShop. The company’s Chris Chau (producer) as well as FK Digital developers Mickey Lin (director) and Aloner Chiu (assistant director/planner) shared more details about the game in a recent interview. 

Head past the break for our full discussion. Along with Quell Reflect, we asked about Wii U, interest in retail, and the Chinese market.

First, let’s take a look at the standard boxart for Ace Attorney 123: Wright Selection, which is finally available at a decent size:

More scans from this month’s CoroCoro have appeared showing Diancie, the newest Pokemon. We now know that the creature can use Clear Body as its ability. The first scan above is the new movie poster featuring Diancie while the latter is a clearer/full image which first popped up earlier in the week.
