Another Monday means another update to Pokemon Shuffle. Several events, including the Mega Charizard one, came to an end today. If you placed high enough, you can claim your Charizardite Y today if you check in.

Keldeo makes a return to the game, having previously been available a couple of months ago. You’ve got one week to catch it.

Finally, Latias is available for the first time via an escalation battle. As per usual, the stage’s level goes up by one each time you beat it, as does Latias’ capture chance. Of interest, however, is that Latias’ Mega Stone, Latiasite, is also available in this stage. You have to beat this escalation battle at level 50 to get it.

We still have a little ways to go before the release of Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash, but someone has already managed to get their hands on the game. A couple of videos with extensive gameplay are below.

Giving this a final bump to the top! There are only a few days left in September, so we’ll be choosing a winner for our second giveaway next weekend in all likelihood.


Hey everyone!

A new month is here, so I wanted to update everyone on our Patreon.

Our Hall of Fame page has been updated again with a list of everyone’s names. If you’re pledging $1 and have chosen to receive a reward (a couple of you opted to not receive any rewards), you’ll be automatically included on the page. Please let me know if you’d prefer to not be on there, or if you want a different name in the Hall of Fame.

Next, we have some giveaway business to take care of. Those who pledge $5 are automatically eligible for our monthly giveaways exclusively for Patreon. Our first ever giveaway, which took place during August, was for the gold Mario amiibo. The winner of that prize is… Corey Buttel! We’ll be in touch shortly to arrange for the shipping of this reward.

kid-icarus-uprising

This month’s giveaway is for a 3DS game that is very close to my heart: Kid Icarus: Uprising. Everyone pledging $5 or higher is eligible to receive this prize, regardless of their region. It will likely be a code that you can download from the eShop, but we may offer it as a packaged version depending on the winner’s region.

I think that’s mostly it! Of course, if you’re pledging $3+, you can also get some sneak peeks of things like features and certain news items before they hit the site. You can find our full Patreon page and lineup of rewards here.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us thus far. Every little bit helps!

Update (9/27): Bumped to the top. You can save about $10 on the Xenoblade guide and $7 on the Star Fox Zero guide.


Original (9/14): Yesterday we learned that The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes would be receiving a guide from Prima, including a collector’s edition release. It’s since been confirmed that Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X are getting the same treatment.

Amazon is listing the Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X guides – both of which are collector’s edition – for $34.99 a piece. They’ll also come with hardcovers and a screen cleaner.
