Pokken Tournament hands out a penalty to rage quitters
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 44 Comments
Rage quitting in Pokken Tournament may not be the best idea. If you happen to leave an online match before it finishes, you’ll be docked with a bit of a penalty.
The image above is what you’ll first see from Nia, your in-game trainer, when you give Pokken Tournament’s online play a shot for the first time. She’ll mention that leaving during the middle of a match is rude, and you’ll be given a penalty.
So what happens if you don’t listen to her advice? You’ll lose some Poke Gold, the in-game currency used to buy cosmetic items.

Nintendo comments on changes made to Bravely Second’s side quests
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 37 Comments
Bravely Second made its way to Europe last month. The RPG came with some changes in its western release, such as how completing optional side quests always provides players with a “good” ending.
Nintendo Life has now managed to obtain a statement from the Big N regarding this change. In its response, Nintendo noted that Bravely Second’s developers believed that this modification would be appropriate based on “overwhelming feedback” from Japanese players. Users “felt an unsatisfying disconnect between their intentions and the characters’ reactions” as “each side quest would end with the team lamenting the decision they made, regardless of the player’s decision.”
You can read up on Nintendo’s full statement below.
