The sixth Global Mission in Pokemon Sun & Moon has begun. This time, players need to collect Poke Beans in Poke Pelago. The goal is to collect 3,000,000 or more Poke Beans by May 9th, 23:59 UTC. If the mission is a success, all players get 2000 FC; if the mission fails, all players get 200 FC. As always, these rewards are doubled if the game is tied to a Global Link account. If a player collects 30 or more Poke Beans, they get one Rare Candy. If all players collect more than 6,000,000 Poke Beans, everyone with a Global Link account gets a Level Ball.

Interview with Kaiji Tang, voice of Odin and Owain from Fire Emblem
Posted on 8 years ago by Zack in 3DS, General Nintendo | 3 Comments
In a recent interview with ComedynGaming, Kaiji Tang shared some details about his experience being the voice for the Fire Emblem: Awakening character Owain and Fire Emblem: Fates character Odin. Many subjects are touched on in the interview, as the interview covers many of Kaiji Tang’s roles outside of Nintendo properties. We’ve collected the quotes relevant to his role in the Fire Emblem series below. Minor spoilers after the break for Fire Emblem: Fates.
On how Tang got his role in Fire Emblem, and any similarities he sees between him and his character:
“I got the role of Owain like any other actor! A studio was having auditions for the game, I popped in and boom! Some sword hand talk later, some bit about time travel and they deemed me memey enough to become the fervent voice of Owain. I love the guy because we’re both huge, huge nerds who aren’t ashamed to let their geek flag fly. If I had special attacks, I think I’d come up with some pretty edgy names for them too. I absolutely have a blast!”
Dragon Quest XI: Spell of Restoration system revealed, more info & screens of Skill Panel system
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 2 Comments
Last week, Dragon Quest XI’s Skill Panel system was revealed via Shonen Jump. Today, the game’s official website was updated with a section on the Skill Panel system (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). It doesn’t really reveal anything new, though it does provide a look at some of the skills you can get, such as Camus’ “Slime Blow”, Veronica’s “Magical Awakening” and Silvia’s “Flute of Fascination”.
The website also revealed an interesting new system – the Spell of Restoration. This is essentially a sort of cross-platform save date transfer. By entering a code, you can continue your adventure at roughly the same point in the story on another platform. However, only the main character’s name and your progress in the story is transferred over – your party’s levels, gold and items will change to a pre-determined value based on your progress in the main story. This sort of save data transfer will initially work with the game’s 3DS and PS4 versions. However, it seems likely that the Switch version will be compatible with this feature as well, once it is released.
