A few days ago, we heard from The Game Awards 2016 host Geoff Keighley that a special sale was planned for the event. Unfortunately though, there’s nothing new.
Nintendo’s website now shows The Game Awards “sale”. However, as you’ll quickly notice, it’s just piggybacking off of the new Cyber Deals that began last month. A bit disappointing to say the least!
Arceus was distributed in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire a few months ago. However, players needed to visit certain retailers – such as GameStop in the United States – in order to obtain a code. Now the distribution is running again, and you won’t need to head to your local store this time around.
If you’re in North America, enter the code “Arceus20”. Those in PAL regions can use the code “Arceus2016”.
Note that if you’ve already received Arceus, you won’t be able to download the Pokemon for a second time.

The latest episode of the Play Nintendo Show has gone live. View the new video below, which focuses on Super Mario Maker for 3DS.
Tank Troopers, a new digital title for 3DS, was announced during the September Nintendo Direct. We now have word that Nintendo will publish the game in Japan on December 21. Retailer Rakuten lists the date, along with an 800 yen price point.
According to Nintendo, Tank Troopers “lets players customize their tank through special characteristics of tank-pilot Troopers, enabling abilities such as hitting enemies with a freeze attack, launching paint balls to block the opponents’ views or using electric shocks to stall rival tanks where they stand.” A six-person multiplayer mode is included plus Download Play.
A specific western release date for Tank Troopers has not yet been announced, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it in North America and Europe this month as well.
Aside from today’s new 3DS theme and orchestra videos, My Nintendo has also added in discounts for a pair of Zelda titles. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Wii U / New 3DS and Zelda: Skyward Sword for Wii U are 30 percent off.
A Link to the Past will set you back 240 Platinum Points. Meanwhile, Skyward Sword is 50 Gold Points. Both will last until March 2.
Pokemon GO has been named the top-trending game of the year on Google Play. Clash Royale, Traffic Rider, slither.io, and Dream League Soccer were other top-trending titles.
Pokemon GO has set all sorts of records since its debut during the summer. It’s dropped off slightly since then, but many people continue to play it. Niantic intends to keep the game going with additional content and updates in the months and years ahead.
A new trailer is online to celebrate Meloetta’s arrival in Pokemon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, X, and Y as the latest Pokemon distribution. Watch it below.
Well, that didn’t take as long as we expected it would! After the Zelda 30th anniversary 3DS theme went live on My Nintendo earlier today, it’s now up in North America as well. You can nab it for 300 Platinum Points.
Along with the theme, three Zelda orchestra videos are up in North America. Those cost 100 Platinum Points each.
All of these rewards can be found here.
