A new Magikarp Jump update is available and just like the previous updates it is labeled to fix bugs. This particular update makes it so players can no longer abuse the Extra League 3 glitch where the player could obtain the rewards from the league multiple times instead of just once.
A new Pokemon game has been announced for mobile devices called PokéLand and seems to be part of the Pokemon Rumble series. The game’s alpha is available for Japanese Android players to try out until June 9th. There are 134 Pokemon in the game and the goal is to climb 15 floors through the Champion Tower. Data from the alpha will be deleted upon release of the game.
Kemco is bringing another RPG to Wii U with next week’s Revenant Saga on the Japanese eShop. It may very well be released in the west as well, but you can view the official trailer below.
A pair of new 3DS themes are out now in Japan. Here’s the lineup:
Tomomi Itano: #How Nice! – 200 yen
Hikonyan – 200 yen
Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor – 200 yen

In case you missed it previously, here’s the overview for Of Mice and Sand:
“By ordering the mice crew living in the Desert ship, you can build facilities on the ship and make food for breeding the mice with various items. With the development of the ship, more mice will join in and they can accomplish more jobs. Don’t let them starve and make them rich.
Your final goal is to reach the other side of the desert and find the legendary land of gold to the east, El Dorado!”
A new trailer for Hover: Revolt of Gamers is online to ring in the game’s initial release on Steam. It’ll be coming to Switch down the road, but for now, watch the video below.
Update 2 (6/1): The person behind the images has come forward confirming that the “leak” is fake. That’s the end of it, folks!
Update: While it’s not been made absolutely official, we can close the book on this one. The evidence here and certain sites such as GameXplain stating outright that the images were fabricated are enough.
Original (5/30): One game heavily rumored for Switch ever since the system’s reveal is Smash Bros. Early speculation suggested that Nintendo would eventually bring out something that mixes the Wii U and 3DS versions together into one ultimate package. With Nintendo’s big E3 presentation just two weeks away, the Smash Bros. Switch rumor is back in the news.
Unconfirmed screenshots from Smash Bros. on Switch are beginning to spread like wildfire online. The images appear to originate from 4Chan. Although anyone can post on the site under anonymity – making some rumors dubious – reports have panned out correctly from time to time in the past. In fact, before Nintendo’s Switch unveiling in January, someone accurately leaked the full slate of titles that appeared at hands-on events.
A first glance at the Smash Bros. screenshots would lead us to believe that they’re the real deal, or at least that someone put in a lot of effort here. But you know what people say these days: anyone can create a fake leak. Switch will undoubtedly receive a Smash Bros. game at some point, though we definitely can’t say that these images can be trusted. If they are true, we’re looking at some new content like Target Smash and improved visuals in the 3DS stages.
