Soon after Pokémon Shuffle launched, we were introduced to Daily stages, where new Pokémon would appear in the game for 24 hours only that you wouldn’t be able to obtain through normal play. The Pokémon to kick this off was Rotom, each day introducing one of its five forms. Now, Rotom is back!

For those of you that weren’t able to get Rotom initially, or maybe hadn’t downloaded Pokémon Shuffle yet, now is your chance at another shot! The Rotom events will run until May 16th, so don’t miss the opportunity at redemption if you missed it the first time around.

It’s well known at this point that Next Level Games has been hard at work on some sort of new game since releasing Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. It’s also known that this will be a title published by Nintendo. So what could the team be working on? That’s completely unknown at this point, but minor findings from the LinkedIn profiles of a couple of staff members may give some clues.

Emily Rogers noticed that programmer Gary Shaw lists “Online [programming]” for secret projects at Next Level Games. He previously programmed the online functionality for games including Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and Mario Strikers Charged.

Rogers also poked around the profile of presentation/level designer Diego R. Pons, who has been at the studio for eight and a half years. Whereas “Collectibles” are listed for Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and Spider-Man, it’s not listed for Next Level Games’ unannounced project. Pons also lists “Story” for the new game, and it seems that his responsibilities focus more on mission-based games/more open environments.

Admittedly, this doesn’t tell us too much. But given that Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon shipped in March 2013, there’s a good chance that Next Level Games’ new project will be shown at E3 2015 next month. That would definitely be an interesting reveal!

During Level-5’s “Vision” event in March, a few new 3DS games were announced. One of these was Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a new collaboration title in partnership with Koei Tecmo.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Koei Tecmo Games head Hisashi Koinuma. As expected, Yo-Kai Sangokushi was one of the things the magazine asked about.

Famitsu starts off by mentioning that he surprised by the fact that Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a collaborative title between Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This led Koinuma to say:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has its 30th anniversary in 2015, so everyone in the company is excited. I think Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a fitting title to adorn the 30th anniversary. I’m especially happy that Level-5 president Akihiro Hino likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It’s been a very long time since we last heard about the western version of SmileBASIC (otherwise known as Petite Computer 3). The overseas release was announced last summer, but we still have yet to see the app on the North American or European 3DS eShops.

There’s some good news and bad news. On the bright side, SmileBASIC is still on track to launch in North America and Europe. Unfortunately, developer SmileBoom is unsure as to when the app will be available here. SmileBASIC has been continuously updated in Japan, and once that’s completely done and over with, SmileBoom’s attention will shift its attention to localization.

You’ll find a full update from SmileBoom about SmileBASIC below.
