Nintendo uploaded a trio of commercials for Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Find them all below.

Yo-kai Watch 2 debuted in North America several months ago, but Europe is getting the RPG this week. Nintendo UK will be promoting the game with a commercial, which you can see below.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is releasing this month in Japan and Nintendo, in collaboration with Shogakukan, will publish an official guidebook after the date of launch.

This guidebook is already on Amazon Japan and its description shows us some new content that we didn’t know the game had. Due to potential spoilers, we’ve posted the news after the break.

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for the weekly Pokemon Shuffle update. First, a new special stage featuring Meloetta’s Pirouette Forme has begun. This stage will be available until April 18th.

You will also have another shot at a previously available Pokemon Safari until April 18th. This one features Pineco, Forretress, Ledyba, Ledian, Houndour, Houndoom, Noibat, Hoothoot and Noctowl.

Noibat’s evolved form Noivern can’t be caught in that Safari, but is instead available in a special stage. If you caught it already, you may get Noivern Skill Boosters from this stage.

Also available until April 18th are repeat runs of special stages featuring Zekrom and White Kyurem. They may drop their respective Skill Boosters if you caught them previously.

A special stage where you can catch Thundurus Incarnate Forme has also started its repeat run. This stage is available until April 11th, but you can only attempt it once per day.

The final addition is a special stage featuring Yveltal. It will be available until April 11th; if you already have Yveltal, you may get Yveltal Skill Boosters or Raise Max Levels from this stage.

Finally, you can now collect your rewards from last week’s Meloetta competition.
