Another new week means more new content for Pokemon Shuffle. The Mega Sharpedo event has begun in the 3DS version; it will run until this Sunday.

If you want to get the coveted Sharpedonite, you need to rank in the top 11,000 in Europe, the top 18,000 in North America or the top 50,000 in Japan. If you manage to rank in the top 2,500 in Europe, the top 3,500 in North America or the top 10,000 in Japan you’ll receive a Mega Speedup in addition to the Mega Stone. If you don’t get the Sharpedonite but rank in the top 16,000  in Europe, the top 25,000 in North America or the top 70,000 in Japan, you’ll receive an Attack Power Up as a consolation price. If you rank below that, you will receive a Jewel.

Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.

Dementium: The Ward originally launched on DS back in October 2007. Later this year, the game will be available on the 3DS eShop with several improvements in the form of Dementium Remastered.

Here’s what Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham says players can look forward to with the new version:

“New gameplay difficulty options include Normal, Hard, and Demented. We’ve added a manual save system (adopted from Dementium II). Enemies no longer respawn; a dead zombie stays dead! A lot of time and attention has been spent on increasing texture resolution, adding specular, detail, and normal maps to enemies and environments. Cut-scenes have all been re-rendered using new remastered enemy/environment art (not autostereoscopic 3D, though, to save on ROM size)”

You can get a look at Dementium Remastered’s new title screen above. If you use the QR code with your 3DS, you can view it in 3D.
