The Pokémon Safari event stage is now back on Pokémon Shuffle
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Two months ago Pokémon Shuffle introduced a brand new event called the Pokémon Safari. This special event would grant you random Pokémon with each attempt, granting you access to some Pokémon you may have not previously encountered. Now, the Pokémon Safari returns with all new Pokémon for you to catch.
This new Pokémon Safari event will run from June 22nd to July 6th, and will give you a chance at catching up to five Pokémon: Electrike, Manectric, Darumaka, Darmanitan, and Stantler.
As usual with these new additions to the game, you will have to update your game to gain access to this event. Simply hit the Check In button and you’re good to go!

Super Mario Maker may offer different colored amiibo costumes
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 10 Comments
Update (6/21): Bumped to the top. We now have a pretty good idea as to why there are two different colored Isabelle sprites. It seems like Isabelle’s amiibo card will unlock the one on the left, while the figure unlocks the one on the right.
Nintendo has shown Isabelle running in Super Mario Maker through an amiibo costume, which is pictured on the left. The image on the right, however, shows a different colored costume from the unlock screen. It’s possible – although certainly not confirmed – that we could be seeing costumes in more than one color.

Axiom Verge “probably” hitting Wii U next year, 3DS more difficult
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Axiom Verge creator Tom Happ has revealed that the title is “probably” making its way to Wii U next year. 3DS, meanwhile, would be “quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different.”
As stated by Happ:
I can’t commit to anything, but Axiom Verge will *probably* be available for Wii U in 2016. 3DS is quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different. Should Nintendo be reading this and decide to lend me a hand, that’d be VERY appreciated!!
The major roadblock preventing Axiom Verge on Wii U is all on the technical side. The game was built with the MonoGame engine, which is something that Nintendo’s console doesn’t seem to support currently. Porting Axiom Verge to C++ was one option in bringing Axiom Verge to Wii U.
