Overfence is developing Project MEKURU, the company revealed during a Nintendo Indie Showcase event at GDC. This was first teased during the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 sizzle reel last month.

Project MEKURU is a multiplayer game in which players ground-pound on tiles to capture territory on the stage. A video depicted four-player battle mode gameplay on stages composed of tiled flooring and obstacles. Mii support is confirmed, and a ground-pound move to smash into the floor and flip over closeby tiles to their color instead of that of their opponents was shown. Power-ups, different stage layouts, and how getting caught in the flipped-tile area of an opponent’s ground pound would send you flying off the stage were in the video as well.

Development on Project MEKURU is said to be going well, though there’s no release date currently.

The fourth Pokemon Global Mission in Pokemon Sun and Moon only just kicked off a few hours ago, but it’s already been a success.

Players were asked to collectively earn 250,000 Battle Points at the Battle Tree. The current total is already at over 550,000, so that goal has been absolutely smashed.

PGL members will earn 4,000 Festival Coins, while Trainers who do not belong to the PGL will earn 2,000 Festival Coins for completing the mission. A Heavy Ball will also be handed out since Battle Points surpassed 500,000. You can get If five Rare Candy as well if you earn 3 Battle Points.
