Pokémon Shuffle update adds Kingdra, plus some returning battles
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS, Mobile, News | 0 comments
I like Pokémon Shuffle’s weekly updates! They’re comfy and easy to play! This week’s update is the same for both the 3DS and mobile versions and adds in a new challenge, letting players catch Kingdra. This battle will run until June 21st.
A few repeat runs have begun as well, featuring Landorus, Uxie, Beedrill, and the Daily Pokémon Challenge (#5). The last of those will change which Pokémon is available daily, starting with Maractus, then moving through Dunsparce, Qwilfish, Durant and Heatmor, before returning to Maractus. All of these challenges except Landorus will run until June 21st. Landorus will run until the 14th, but will also have a higher catch rate each day.

XSEED might be teasing Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages localization
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Is XSEED teasing the localization of Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages? It’s quite possible.
A little while ago, XSEED tweeted out the following:
— XSEED Games (@XSEEDGames) June 7, 2016
That first (and possibly second) line has people speculating that Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages will soon be announced for North America. Given the success of the original Story of Seasons, it was only a matter of time before the new entry was confirmed for the west. I imagine we’ll hear something by the end of the week!

The Play Nintendo Tour is returning once again this year. Between June 17 and September 5, Nintendo will host a 12-city tour at malls and other locations in the United States. Fans will be able to play various 3DS games, participate in contests, nab prizes, and partake in photo opportunities.

People who are into cool family photos or amazing selfies can take some snaps next to a huge Kirby figure, beside an oversized Yoshi egg, inside a barrel flanked by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, under a devastating blue Spiny Shell in the Mario Kart 7 area or next to a giant Pokéball in the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire region. The New Super Mario Bros. 2 section features a photogenic flagpole, stacks of coins and a warp pipe, while the YO-KAI WATCH area makes people look like they have stepped into Springdale, the town in the game, complete with mischievous Yo-kai lurking about.
