Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Mobile, News | 0 comments
It was recently announced that missing Mega Stones for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon would be distributed as part of online competitions. Now we have some clarity as to how this is being done.
Mega Stones will be handed out through two means:
– Given as a present to players of Online Competitions, such as with the Mawilite and Beedrillite in the upcoming 2017 International Challenge February competition; a limited amount of players will get the code ahead of a wait period of 1 to 2 months before all players get the code
– Through a code that will be given to all players through various events/online postings with no wait period
As Serebii points out, the method will vary depending on the Mega Stone and they intend to go through these methods until summer.
Aside from the Pokemon Sun/Moon news, Pokemon Duel should also be receiving an update tomorrow. The game will be updated to 3.0.2 and implements some balance changes.
Here’s the rundown from Serebii:

Kirby Triple Deluxe, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Nintendo Selects now available at retailers
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo made a few announcements about 3DS. This included two additions to the Nintendo Selects line: Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Nintendo never actually gave a concrete date for the new Nintendo Selects, only opting for a vague “mid-February” timeframe. That being said, retailers are now selling both games. Best Buy and GameStop may have had them as early as last week, but we can confirm that Amazon only began selling them directly today.
The Nintendo Selects versions of Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team can be found at the links below:
