3DS

During Jump Festa last month, Konami announced a few new Yu-Gi-Oh! games. One of these was revealed as a 3DS title.

Konami has now followed up with an official announcement for the west today, confirming that the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! 3DS entry will be available worldwide. A release is planned for sometime this summer.

Actual details about the project have still not been made known. Of course, that should be changing over the next few months.

Pokemon Shuffle was updated with some new content today.

First of all, a new Mega Stone competition has started. This one pits you against Mega Swampert and you will need to place high enough to obtain the Swampertite. To get it, you will need to place in the top  12,000 in Europe, 18,000 in North America or 50,000 in Japan. You will get a Mega Speedup on top of that if you place in the top 2,300 in Europe, 3,600 in North America or 10,000 in Japan. Placing in the top 16,000 in Europe, 24,000 in North America or 70,000 in Japan means you miss the Swampertite, but instead you’ll get an Attack Power Up and Disruption Delay. If you place outside those ranks, you get a Jewel instead. The competition runs until January 12th.

Also, Tornadus is available once more, so now’s your chance to catch it again if you missed it the first time. This stage will also be available until January 12th.

Sankei West recently spoke with Tatsumi Kimishima. During their talk, Nintendo’s new president talked a bit about Splatoon, sales, mobile, My Nintendo, and NX.

The first topic discussed during the interview was Splatoon. After Sankei mentions that it’s selling well, Kimishima said that painting colors as a way of battle and the characters allow it to be accepted by a family audience. He added that, in the future, it’s possible to extend it widely like Super Mario Bros.
