Apps becoming more expensive due to currency fluctuations is nothing new in the mobile market – and the same is now starting to happen in the UK, although on a much larger scale. Following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, the Pound has dropped dramatically in value, and as a result, Apple has decided to raise the raise prices on the App Store across the board, by about 25%.

One of the affected titles is Super Mario Run – in the UK, it now costs £9.99 to unlock all of the game’s levels after the initial demo, up from the previous £7.99.

It is not yet known what the game’s price will be on the Google Play Store once Super Mario Run launches on Android devices in March.

Mega Evolution played a rather subdued role in Pokemon Sun & Moon, only popping up in the post-game – and even then, not all the Mega Stones that were available in the generation 6 games could be obtained. However, this will soon be rectified.

The Pokemon Company announced today that it plans to distribute the missing Mega Stones as entry gifts for online competitions in Pokemon Sun & Moon. The first of these will be the Beedrillite and the Mawilite – they will be available through an online competition in late February.

Nintendo is starting to go all in with Switch advertising in Japan. As seen at the very end of last week, the system was being advertised with Splatoon 2 in Tokyo’s subways.

More ads are showing up, now in Shibuya Station. Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are also being promoted with the new posters.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

A bunch of French interviews with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma popped over the past few days pertaining to Breath of the Wild. One of these was with Gamekult. While we published a summary at the time, we now have a complete translation thanks to the hard work done by Nintendo Everything reader Kyrio.

With the translation, there’s a better understanding as to what Aonuma said about certain subjects, such as testing done for the game. We also have his comments about topics like coming to an agreement with Shigeru Miyamoto about the essence of Zelda. Honestly, this is one of the more interesting interviews with Aonuma in quite some time, so it’s definitely worth a read.

Continue on below for our full translation.
