Hamster has announced that The Tower of Druaga will be the next game releasing on the eShop under the Arcade Archives label. Here is some more information about the game below.
Following Sygna Suit Ethan’s Master Fair Scout announced earlier this week, 5★ Sygna Suit Lyra & Celebi has been added to the event. As a reminder, Master Fair Scouts grant an increased chance of scouting a 5★ Sync Pair (12% to be exact), and Master Sync pairs obtained through this event such as Lyra and Ethan will possess a Master Passive Skill that strengthens their whole team. Sygna Suit Lyra will also be released with their Sync Grid expanded and the ability to be raised to 6★ EX. Just like Ethan, Lyra will be available through the Master Fair Scout until July 13, 10:59 PM PT. You can also expect Sygna Suit Kris to be joining the two in the coming days.

An official press release from The Pokemon Company has just confirmed that Junichi Masuda is leaving his former role as Game Freak’s Managing Director to become The Pokemon Company’s Chief Creative Fellow, effective immediately. Essentially, that means that while he should no longer be directly involved with the development of the series’ games, he will now be focusing on managing the franchise as a whole.
Junichi Masuda’s role in the development of the Pokemon franchise is a noteworthy one; he has been involved in the development of the games ever since the original Pokemon Red Version and Green Version, has directed several games in the franchise himself, and has generally assisted in the development of other games in the franchise, such the mobile spin-off title Pokemon Go. In a way, his new role in the company should mimic that of Shigeru Miyamoto, who also stepped into the role of Creative Fellow at Nintendo to focus more on managing their brand rather than be directly involved in developing their games.
Included below is a transcript of The Pokemon Company’s full PR statement, including a comment from Junichi Masuda himself:
Balloon Flight dropped on Switch just a few days ago, and we now have gameplay. 10 minutes of footage shows off the first-person arcade title.
Below is some information about the game:
