This week’s challenges for Pokémon Shuffle are all repeats, but that doesn’t mean that players shouldn’t check them out. First up is Mega Abomasnow, which is, as usual for Megas, a competitive stage with other players. The coveted Abomasite will go to the top 22,000 players in North America, 15,000 in Europe and 60,000 in Japan. Ranking high in that bracket will earn you some extra prizes, with the top 3,500 in North America, 2,500 in Europe and 10,000 in Japan earning a Mega Speedup, and the top 700 in North America, 500 in Europe and 2,000 in Japan earning 2 Mega Speedups. The top 30,000 in North America, 20,000 in Europe and 80,000 in Japan who don’t qualify for the Abomasite will get an Attack Power, and all other players will get a Disruption Delay. (Note: Since this is a repeat run, players who already have an Abomasite will receive a Raise Max Level instead). This challenge runs until June 7th.

Furthermore, until June 14th, the Keldeo, Infernape, and Giratina stages are all getting repeat runs. While the first two are more traditional stages, the Giratina stage is an Escalation battle, earning players rewards for hitting certain levels throughout the fight (specifically, an EXP Booster S at Level 5, a Disruption Delay at Level 30, a Mega Speed Up at Level 50, an EXP Booster M at Level 85 and a Raise Max Level at Level 100).

Good luck out there, and keep working to be the very best!

Intropy Games has partnered with Mouse Potato Games to bring Prism Pets to Wii U.

Previously released on mobile, Prism Pets is a puzzler “about creating different combinations with colors.” Players can slide tiles in four different directions – left, right, up or down – to create these combinations and make the target color.

Here’s a trailer:

Prism Pets will be available “soon” on the Wii U eShop.

The Zero Escape series has spawned two entries, with a third launching in about a month for now. Series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi reflected on the franchise’s roots as part of an interview with Nintendo Force.

Uchikoshi was asked if he thought Spike Chunsoft would approve his initial pitch for 999 (Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors). He did not, but “was able to get the project in fruition thanks to many supporters.”

Dual Core released on the North American Wii U eShop last Thursday, but Gray Fin Studios isn’t done with the game yet. The indie developer talked a bit about what’s in store during a Reddit AMA today.

The first thing lined up for Dual Core is an update, which will “address a few bugs, and balance some difficulty issues.” Features such as off-TV play, more controller options, and online leaderboards are also “likely” for the future. New modes/levels haven’t been ruled out either, but “it really depends on how well the game doe”.

Retrotainment Games opened a Kickstarter last month in an attempt to fund its new game Haunted Halloween ’86: The Curse of Possum Hollow, which features a mix of platforming and beat ’em up gameplay. It was initially planned as only NES title, but it’s now confirmed for a current Nintendo platform as well.

The $5,000 Kickstarter goal was smashed out of the park, guaranteeing the NES version. Additionally though, a $20,000 Wii U stretch goal was reached.

You can get a better feel for Haunted Halloween ’86: The Curse of Possum Hollow on the Kickstarter page here.
