3DS eShop

A new update is out for Pokémon Shuffle and with it comes a slew of stages, events, and more!

Darkrai:
Darkrai now has a special event live once you grab the new patch, Version 1.2.12, that grants you the ability to catch the legendary Pokémon. The Darkrai event is slightly different from traditional events, in that this will be performed as an Escalation Battle, which increases in difficulty the more you play but increases the catch rate the higher you go. Once you reach Level 5 of the Darkrai event, you’ll be given an EXP x1.5, Disruption Delay at Level 10, Mega Start at Level 30, and Mega Speedup at Level 50.

New Stages:
Along with the Darkrai event comes a plethora of new stages which puts Pokémon Shuffle’s stage count at well over 200, adding ten more normal stages and three Expert stages.

Rotom Returns:
Rotom makes a return to Pokémon Shuffle giving players another chance to catch the various forms – each one assigned a day of the week – until August 29th. Rotom and its various forms can’t be obtained through normal play, making these special events the only way to get them, so if you haven’t had a chance to collect them all, now’s your chance!

Garchompite Distribution:
Last week a competition was held globally for Pokémon Shuffle fans for a chance at winning a Garchompite if they were able to rank in their respective regions. If you were one of the lucky 40k in North America, 100k in Japan, or 20k in Europe, you should be receiving your Garchompite now soon after you update your game by selecting the Check In button. For those that attempted the stage but didn’t rank, you will still be awarded a Jewel. Let us know if you were able to get the Garchompite!

Nintendo World Report has published a preview of SteamWorld Heist with some additional details. You’ll find them rounded up below.

– Different difficulty settings to choose from
– Image & Form hinted that drops and enemies change depending on this choice
– You no longer have to backtrack to your ship
– Instead, you will have to approach a newly opened passageway and get there safely as possible
– This makes matches faster, but there is less sense of dread
– Even after completing a level, new opponents could still appear and this made it a harsh ride all the way through
– While this still happens in the current version, there is more of a safety net
– Can skip some of the loot, but you need to destroy all of the enemies in the level
– Every character, friend or foe, can only move a set amount of steps and can only do so much once they are settled
– If your steps remain within a certain buffer area, you are able to fire at your opponents
– Not all the gunmen in your crew can hold the gun still and the firearms all act very different from one another
– Some only shoot one strong bullet, while others shoot three weaker ones
– The female captain, Piper, has a gun with reticle right from the start
– You have to bounce shots from walls so you can reach enemies from afar
– Can swap for a different gun that is more effective
– You won’t get any support though
– Use different items to keep yourself in the game
– Healing Oil: recover a robot’s hit points
– Characters wear different hats
– Hats give the people status in this universe
– Every hat and gun also has its own stats and abilities
– Individual crew members will level up, which allow them to better defend themselves
– Unlock new abilities as you progress
– Piper can use a Power Shot right from the get go
– Seabrass, your partner in crime, can use Payback
– This will charge him up when he takes damage
– When ready, the damage he can deal increases by 50%
– Characters have pretty straightforward skill trees
– In the original demo, you could freely explore space and tackle any mission you were interested in
– But the game now has a map screen now, so you will hop to every mission almost instantly
– You can still visit bars and purchase items, as well as recruit members
– These will only join if you have reached a certain level, so you don’t have to straight up pay for them anymore
– You will still lose them if you fail to protect them in battle

Wind-up Knight 2 is launching on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow. Interestingly, it appears that a New 3DS port is in the works as well. Some off-screen footage is posted below.

Unity 5 is being used as a base for the engine’s support on New 3DS. There have been plans to offer a beta to developers this summer, and have titles on the eShop by the end of this year.

Here’s a recording of an event held about the New 3DS at Unite Europe 2015 late last month:

Thanks to Brian and josemmmejia for the tip.
