Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp – Second half of Jack’s Halloween Hunt now live
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt O'Keefe(@matt_okeefe) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
The second half of Jack’s Halloween Hunt gives you the opportunity to find new flowers and help Jack collect special creatures in order to earn even more rewards. Here’s a full description of the event courtesy of Perfectly Nintendo.
As teased in the past few days, the latest garden event for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp went live today. It’s called Jack’s Halloween Hunt, and it runs until October 9th (with the event divided in two parts, the second one beginning on October 2nd).
Here’s what the event is all about: Jack has come to your campsite in search of a rare type of creatures: rare bats. To help him, you need to grow flowers that can attract them. Of course, you will be rewarded for doing so: by completing the tasks set by Jack, you can earn some special pieces of furniture and more. You can even view an extra special ending if you complete all the tasks!
There’s also a set of hard tasks, that you can tackle once you’re done with those from the first and second half. As the name implies, they’re harder than regular tasks, but they’re totally worth it: they allow you to get recoloured versions of the furniture and clothes you can get from the regular tasks. Unfortunately, they do not unlock a special cutscene when they have all been completed, and the rewards are not displayed in the Catalog.
Don’t forget to check the set of Timed Goals that went live alongside the event: you will find details about them on this page! Also, 2 Halloween Packs are now available from the store (they include bonus flower food), and you can find details about them on the same page.
More information is available in the Pocket Camp app.

Fire Emblem Heroes: details for the upcoming 2.10.0 update
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
The next update for Fire Emblem Heroes is on its way. Version 2.10.0 will be released in early October; here are the major changes that will be included:
Abyssal difficulty is being added to seven maps in the Grand Hero Battle rotation: Xander, Ursula, Navarre, Michalis, Narcian, Robin and Lloyd. You can get gold versions of accessories by clearing these maps on Abyssal difficulty.
A Lite Data Version of the game will be added for people who want to save space on their devices. In exchange for lower graphic and sound quality, the size of the game will be reduced by approximately 75%. You will be able to switch to the Lite Data Version by selecting Change Data Quality from the Miscellaneous menu; it will also be an option when you start the game for the first time.
New weapon skills and refines will be added to the game. Lon’qu: Solitary Blade will get his own unique weapon skill, Solitary Blade. Also, the weapons of Tana: Winged Princess and Innes: Regal Strategician will receive refines.
Finally, you will be able to give custom names to the eight types of favorite marks which can be attached to Heroes.
