This week’s Pokemon Shuffle update brings new stages for a Winking Totodile and Wailord, returning stages for Groudon and Kyogre, and a safari. Totodile (Winking) will run until January 31, while the rest of the stages run until February 7. The safari is mostly old, featuring Shellder, Cloyster, Shiny Magikarp, Shiny Gyarados, Pidove, Tranquill and Unfezant, and also adds in Snorunt (Winking) and Glalie (Winking).
The third Global Mission in Pokemon Sun/Moon is almost here. When it goes live, players will be tasked with trading Pokemon through the Pokemon Global Trade Station.
The mission will run between January 31 and February 14. We should know what the target is for trading by then.
A new update is out now for Pokemon GO. On iOS, the game is being updated to version 1.23.2 while Android users will have version 0.53.2.
Pokemon GO’s update adds support for Korean, as it just launched in South Korea today. Other than that, not much has changed.
Fans picked up on some footage from the Mega Man animated series during the weekend. Film Roman shared the first look, but it wasn’t intended for public consumption. Dentsu Entertainment informed Rockman Corner that the footage wasn’t final, and was based on internal animation tests.
Mega Man’s look in the show is apparently still evolving. The design shown in the clip doesn’t represent the final product.
One other note: despite what we heard previously, the Mega Man animated series doesn’t have a set network. It isn’t guaranteed to air on Disney XD.

You can now see the Nintendo Switch touchscreen in action for what appears to be the first time, thanks to a video posted by Twitter user Dystify.
The footage is from Skylanders Imaginators, and is the first time we’ve been able to see the Switch’s touchscreen being used. While there’s not much shown off outside of moving around a menu, it’s still a first look at a major feature of the console. If you’re curious, you can watch the video below.

On January 18, Nintendo’s website updated with a new CPSIA certificate. This seemed to be tied to the Smash Bros. amiibo line based on the filing name.
Another CPSIA certificate was actually filed on the same day, and is just now showing. It as well appears to be from the Smash Bros. line. Now the question is, when will Nintendo start revealing these mystery figures?
