A new week, a new challenge! To add to Pokémon Shuffle’s many events and challenges, there is now a chance to get a Manectite for your Manectric with the new Mega Manectric challenge!

Similar to previous challenges with Lucario, Blastoise, and others, this Mega Manectric event will be a timed one that has you competing with other Pokémon Shuffle players in your region for a chance to be ranked to receive your Manectite, which can’t be obtained by normal means. To qualify for the Manectite, you must be one of the top 20k in Europe, 40k in North America, and 50k in Japan. In addition to this, if you are in the top 10k in Europe, 20k in North America, or 50k in Japan, you will receive a Mega Start, while the top 3k in Europe, 6k in North America, and 15k in Japan will obtain a Mega Speedup along with the previously mentioned.

As usual with these events, if you don’t rank, you will still be awarded for trying with a Jewel. Don’t forget to hit that Check In button to update your game and gain access to the event! The Mega Manectric stage will last until July 6th. Good luck!

Jon and I are a bit late on this, but we’re both back to discuss the Nintendo Digital Event that took place during E3. That includes talk about Star Fox Zero, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Metroid Prime: Federation Force, and lots more!

Zordix announced Aqua Moto Racing Utopia for Wii U last February. We haven’t heard much about the game over the past year, so we reached out to the studio for a status update. Larsson revealed that the game has made the jump to Unity 5, discussed DLC plans, teased a probable New 3DS exclusive, and more.

Read on below for our full interview with Matti Larsson, CEO and creative director at Zordix AB. You’ll also find an exclusive new screenshot showing how the updated UI looks.

Capcom has gone live with a launch trailer for The Great Ace Attorney. There are also a couple of more videos with gameplay to be seen. We’ve posted them all below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! With Fire Emblem If having been released in Japan, Dragon Quest VIII has now taken the top spot.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between June 11 and June 17.

Capcom has uploaded a whole bunch of commercials for The Great Ace Attorney. You’ll find them all below, along with a “making of” video.

In this month’s issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, there’s an interview with some of the Splatoon developers. That includes directors Yusuke Amano and Tsubasa Sakaguchi as well as producer Hisashi Nogami.

Nintendo Dream starts off by asking how matchmaking works. Amano mentions that rather than focusing on levels, the game pairs players with similar playstyles in Turf War. Levels are more of “an indicator for how long the person has played the game.”

Since Splatoon matches users together based on how they play, Amano notes that those who tend to splat enemies are likely to play together. Likewise, those who concentrate on painting rather than splatting are more likely to get paired up.

The latest issue of MCV features a few comments from Nintendo UK head of consumer marketing James Honeywell. Honeywell commented on how the company is focusing its efforts on Super Mario Maker, shared some words about toys-to-life and its home on Wii U, and the 3DS’ “bright future.”

Here’s a roundup of Honeywell’s different remarks:

“We are focusing a lot of our efforts on Super Mario Maker. It seems fitting that for Mario’s 30th anniversary we have a new Mario title that breaks the rules and offers infinite possibilities. Beyond this launch on September 11th, we’ll also be promoting the other new titles but also games like Splatoon and Mario Kart 8, which both continue to perform well.”

“Activision really invented the toys-to-life category so it’s really exciting that Donkey Kong and Bowser can take on their new starring roles. We hope that by working together on this we can offer another unique game experience to Wii U and bring a new audience to Amiibo. We are also fortunate that Wii U is home to Disney’s Infinity 3.0 and LEGO Dimensions, too. It’s set to be a really exciting Christmas for us all.

“Nintendo 3DS continues to be really important to us and hopefully this came across with all the great announements. With the recent launch of New Nintendo 3DS, we’ve seen sales overtake last year, and with great games like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, The Legend of Zelda: Tri-Force Heroes and Chibi-Robo! all coming in time for Christmas, it’s going to continue to be strong. We also have a lot of great new titles coming in 2016, so Nintendo 3DS has a bright future.”

We recently spoke with Neko Entertainment, and received confirmation that the company is planning a new game for the Wii U eShop.

Just a couple of details have been shared about the untitled project thus far. We know from Neko’s Benjamin Cestac that it’s a puzzle game “to play with your friends on a couch” and it’s being made by another studio (so Neko will handle publishing).

That’s sadly all that we know at the moment. Once we receive additional information, we’ll be sure to bring that to you.
