The puzzle game Piczle Lines DX has received a demo on the Japanese eShop. It might be tricky to find, but you basically want to search for the title ピクセルラインDX. If you visit the eShop and access the search section, the first page you’ll see lists all available games. Piczle Lines DX should be far down on the list, but you’ll come across it eventually.

The Piczle Lines DX demo may eventually be pushed out in North America and Europe. For the time being, the Japanese version is useful since it actually includes English.

Good news for Pokemon GO players. Niantic has pledged to improve the game’s EX Raid Battles feature, with the company tweeting out the following today:

EX Raid Battles began in a beta state last month. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been received terribly well.

As Polygon notes, EX Raid Battles requires players to be regular participants in the co-op gym feature, they tend to be tied to specific locations, and some legendary Pokemon such as Mewtwo could only be obtained this way. The necessary Premium Raid pass invitations were sent out on a random basis, and some players who only won a single standard Raid battle won the Premium Raid pass whereas those who regularly battled high-level Pokemon at a variety of gyms would leave empty handed.
