Pokemon Shuffle update (04/04/17) – Meloetta Pirouette Forme, Safari repeat, more
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for the weekly Pokemon Shuffle update. First, a new special stage featuring Meloetta’s Pirouette Forme has begun. This stage will be available until April 18th.
You will also have another shot at a previously available Pokemon Safari until April 18th. This one features Pineco, Forretress, Ledyba, Ledian, Houndour, Houndoom, Noibat, Hoothoot and Noctowl.
Noibat’s evolved form Noivern can’t be caught in that Safari, but is instead available in a special stage. If you caught it already, you may get Noivern Skill Boosters from this stage.
Also available until April 18th are repeat runs of special stages featuring Zekrom and White Kyurem. They may drop their respective Skill Boosters if you caught them previously.
A special stage where you can catch Thundurus Incarnate Forme has also started its repeat run. This stage is available until April 11th, but you can only attempt it once per day.
The final addition is a special stage featuring Yveltal. It will be available until April 11th; if you already have Yveltal, you may get Yveltal Skill Boosters or Raise Max Levels from this stage.
Finally, you can now collect your rewards from last week’s Meloetta competition.

Following tonight’s maintenance, a new section has been added to the Switch eShop. The digital store now has a “Best Sellers” category (“Charts” in Europe) showing the best-selling games. The information is based on software with the most downloads over the past two weeks.
Initial charts are available for North America, Europe, and Japan. We’ve posted all of the information below (in our case we’re specifically posted the UK charts since Europe’s ranking is set per country), and we’ll be adding these charts to our usual lineup just like Wii U and 3DS.

The Fall Part 2: Unbound officially announced for Switch, no longer planned for Wii U
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 8 Comments
The Fall Part 2: Unbound was one of a few titles pictured in Nintendo’s big Nindies infographic from its February showcase. Today, developer Over The Moon followed up on that with an official announcement.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound will be on Nintendo’s new console, but plans for Wii U have been scrapped. Over The Moon said the following regarding the decision:
“We’re coming to the Nintendo Switch! This is great news obviously, but it also appears that Nintendo is switching (hah) focus to promoting that platform over the Wii U. For that reason we’ve decided to focus on resources on supporting the Switch instead of the Wii U. As indies, we simply don’t have the luxury of supporting a platform that’s clearly being sunsetted. I was confident that we’d make it in time, but everyone’s moving on to greener pastures and we’d be fools to stay behind.”
We’ve posted today’s lengthy announcement about the game after the break. A new story trailer for The Fall Part 2: Unbound can also be viewed below.
Streets of Rogue dev says Switch version is “a major possibility”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
Streets of Rogue developer Matt Dabrowski has expressed interest in a Switch release. When asked about the chances of it happening, Dabrowski said porting it over is “a major possibility” and he’d “like to do it”.
Dabrowski told the fan:
“It’s a major possibility, I’d like to do it (Xbox and Ps4 as well) — need to look further into it, but since SOR is Unity-based, I’m not anticipating major problems on the technical end. Knock wood.”
Interestingly, Streets of Rogue is apparently published by tinyBuild. tinyBuild is already bringing Mr. Shifty to Switch, so perhaps the company would work with Dabrowski on a Switch version of this game as well.
