Soon after Pokémon Shuffle launched, we were introduced to Daily stages, where new Pokémon would appear in the game for 24 hours only that you wouldn’t be able to obtain through normal play. The Pokémon to kick this off was Rotom, each day introducing one of its five forms. Now, Rotom is back!

For those of you that weren’t able to get Rotom initially, or maybe hadn’t downloaded Pokémon Shuffle yet, now is your chance at another shot! The Rotom events will run until May 16th, so don’t miss the opportunity at redemption if you missed it the first time around.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Fire Emblem If has maintained its position at the third spot.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 16 and April 22.

During Level-5’s “Vision” event in March, a few new 3DS games were announced. One of these was Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a new collaboration title in partnership with Koei Tecmo.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Koei Tecmo Games head Hisashi Koinuma. As expected, Yo-Kai Sangokushi was one of the things the magazine asked about.

Famitsu starts off by mentioning that he surprised by the fact that Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a collaborative title between Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This led Koinuma to say:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has its 30th anniversary in 2015, so everyone in the company is excited. I think Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a fitting title to adorn the 30th anniversary. I’m especially happy that Level-5 president Akihiro Hino likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It’s been a very long time since we last heard about the western version of SmileBASIC (otherwise known as Petite Computer 3). The overseas release was announced last summer, but we still have yet to see the app on the North American or European 3DS eShops.

There’s some good news and bad news. On the bright side, SmileBASIC is still on track to launch in North America and Europe. Unfortunately, developer SmileBoom is unsure as to when the app will be available here. SmileBASIC has been continuously updated in Japan, and once that’s completely done and over with, SmileBoom’s attention will shift its attention to localization.

You’ll find a full update from SmileBoom about SmileBASIC below.
