A new, limited-time celebration is kicking off in Pokemon GO today. Beginning at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK / 9 PM in Europe, players can participate in the Water Festival.

Here’s an overview of the event:

“Get ready to make some waves in Pokémon GO! There’s a global Water Festival in progress, and Magikarp, Squirtle, Totodile, and friends are looking forward to celebrating with you! Starting today at 1 P.M. PDT, you’ll be more likely to encounter Magikarp, Squirtle, Totodile, and their evolutions all around the world.

At the Animation on Display convention this week, Niantic held a panel for Pokemon GO. It was hosted by David Hollin, the team’s technical artist / designer. Some interesting tidbits were shared about the game’s origins, future plans, and more.

Hollin said that Pokemon GO first began with throwing Pokeballs by pressing a button. Players didn’t have control over how far or curved your throw would be.

Nintendo has sent out a few more details about what to expect from Super Mario Run version 2.0.0.

Once the new update is applied, players will see “A Challenge from Bowser”. Completing it will allow you to take on World 1-4 without having to pay. Then by finishing that level, new courses will be added in Toad Rally, plus Blue and Green Toads will also come to cheer in the free version. More items will be added to Kingdom Builder such as the Blue Yoshi home to unlock Blue Yoshi.

Super Mario Run version 2.0.0 launches on March 23 alongside the Android release.

Update: Results of the Michalis preview event: 54,666 players cleared the Hard battle, and 13,415 cleared the Lunatic battle. Everyone gets 10 Orbs, 10 Stamina Potions, and 5,000 Hero Feathers (thanks Brian).

Original: As was previously announced, the second Starter Support bonus map in Fire Emblem Heroes is now live. It’s available in two difficulties, Normal and Hard, and you get 3 orbs each for clearing them.

Also, this next piece of news flew a bit under the radar. The next Grand Hero Battle featuring Michalis will begin on Friday, March 24th, as the in-game notice describes – however, for some reason only the Japanese version of the game announced the following on top of that: on Monday, March 20th from 12:15 PM CET to 1 PM CET (roughly 90 minutes after this post went live), a special early preview of the Michalis Grand Hero Battle will be available. During that time, players can attempt both the Hard and Lunatic versions of the battle to try and get Michalis early. There will also be rewards sent out to all players the more people can beat the map during this limited time frame:

Hard & Lunatic clear rewards:

Nintendo began to tease Super Mario Run’s big 2.0.0 update a couple of days ago. In the first information batch, it was confirmed that new playable characters would be added.

We’re not sure if this is all, but Nintendo has announced that new Yoshi colors are incoming. Along with the usual green color, red, blue, yellow, and purple will be the alternates. Nintendo also points out that it will be easier to collect Toads of the same Yoshi color currently being used in Toad Rally.

Super Mario Run is heading to Android on March 23. On the same day, Nintendo will also come out with a major update for the game. Players can look forward to version 2.0.0.

The new update “will introduce some new features”. A notice in the app teases new characters to play as along with the ability to unlock World 1-4 in the free version of the game by completing one of Bowser’s challenges.

Nintendo says that there’s more to the update than what’s been announced, but we’ll need to wait for additional details.
