Tuesday brings with it the usual Pokémon Shuffle update, this time adding in a variety of Pokémon to catch for both the mobile and 3DS versions. Two brand new stages have been added: a timed stage for Noivern, and a safari stage that will let you catch Hoothoot, Noctowl, Houndour, Houndoom, Pineco, Forretress, and Noibat. Both of these stages will run until March 29th.

Additionally, there are two returning stages. Landorus will run until March 22nd, with players only able to play once a day, but the catch rate increasing every day. Also, special Rotom stages have returned, with Rotom’s form changing daily. Rotom will not be playable on Saturdays or Sundays.

One multiplayer option in Pokken Tournament is LAN battle mode. With this functionality, local multiplayer with 60 frames per second is possible.

Below are the different requirements for three different routes that can be taken with LAN battles:

And some extra notes for Route C:

– Routes A and B just need you to set the Internet options on the Wii U to Wired and Wireless respectively
– For Route C, there are some extra steps
– First: set both Wii Us up to connect via Wired Connection
– When the test fails, cancel out but save the connection
– Go into the settings for the connection and change the IP to 192.168.000.001 (or 192.168.000.002 on the second Wii U), Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.000 and Default Gateway to 192.168.000.050
– For the DNS settings, set it as “Do not automatically obtain”
– Set Primary DNS to 1.0.0.0
– Save the settings

Note that to activate LAN battle, you have to hold down L, R & down on the d-pad on the title screen.

Update: Japanese update notes are up, confirming that it’s pretty much about stability. When the English notes are published, they should say: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.

3DS has received a new firmware update. Starting now, system owners can download version 10.7.0-32.

We’ll update this post when Nintendo publishes the official update notes. Given recent version changes though, don’t expect too much other than improved system stability.

Hive Jump, Graphite Lab’s upcoming sci-fi action-platformer, will offer co-op with up to four players. There are plans to make this feature available both locally and online on PC, but it’s been confirmed that the Wii U version will only support the former option.

Graphite Lab’s Matt Raithel told Fragments of Silicon in a podcast interview:

“That’s something where we felt like the platform certainly is kind of a party platform. We love playing games on Wii U in kind of party mode. So we don’t have online in the plans for Wii U, but it will be for PC.”

One feature included in the Wii U version of Hive Jump is being able to look at the mini-map on the GamePad. amiibo support is also in the cards, and the studio is looking into the possibility of other features like off-TV play.

Thanks to Henrique R for the tip.
