Update: Added the official trailer that shows off the games.
5 additional Nintendo 3DS games will be added to the Nintendo Selects lineup in Europe in June, meaning that they will get a reprint and will be sold at a lower price. They will also be discounted on the Nintendo eShop. The new suggested retail price for these games is €19,99 / £15.99. The games are The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, LEGO CITY Undercover: The Chase Begins, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros., Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique.
With the final piece of DLC having been released a while ago, it seemed like the latest entry in the Smash Bros. series was completed and would be seeing no more updates. However, both the 3DS and the Wii U version of the game will be updated to version 1.1.6 soon, Nintendo has announced.
As with previous Smash Bros. patches, Nintendo isn’t offering any detailed patch notes, only promising to offer an improved game experience. However, judging by the file sizes alone it seems like the patches on both platforms will bring about a significant amount of changes. You will need 61MB of free space on Wii U and a whopping 325MB on 3DS to apply the patch.
Marvelous published a new trailer for Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages today, which you can check out below. The trailer gives a good overview of the game’s various aspects – farming, raising animals, forming relationships with other characters and so on. The game will be released in Japan on June 23rd; a Western release date has not yet been announced.
Nintendo of Europe has launched a special microsite for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on its various websites; you can find the English one here.
There’s no spectacular new info to be found there, but it does offer a nice overview of the game. The site details the game’s story, characters, various gameplay mechanics and DLC. There’s also a screenshot gallery, showing off a bit more of the English localization.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE will be released in Europe and North America on June 24th.
After a long and tumultuous development period with multiple delays, Mighty No. 9 will finally be released next month. To prepare for that, developer comcept has started sending out platform surveys to those who backed the game’s Kickstarter project; backers can select their platform of choice with those. These e-mails are being sent out over the course of several days, so be patient if you don’t get yours today. Backers have until May 29th to fill out this survey – if you don’t complete it by then, you will be sent a Steam key for the game by default.

Capcom has announced the first bit of DLC that will come to Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, although the announcement is currently for Japan only. The “Turnabout that Crosses Time” will be a plotline that takes place after the story of the regular game (and will not even be playable until the main story is completed). The DLC will launch June 30th, and it will actually be free for players until July 21st. It is also described as a complete volume, containing investigation and courtroom sections, and starring Phoenix Wright, Maya Fey, Miles Edgeworth, and Phoenix’s childhood friend, Larry Butz.
The DLC will also be given an introduction during a livestream later today, which can be viewed here. If any important info comes of this stream, we’ll let you know.
The weekly Pokémon Shuffle update has hit, and it brings a sizable number of catchable Pokémon to the table, as well as a new mechanic to make things a bit easier. This new mechanic is the Skill Gauge, which makes a Pokémon’s ability grow stronger as it uses it. The gauge can also be filled with new items.
Meanwhile, there are quite a few Pokémon to try and catch, all of which will run until May 31st. Two new challenges have been added: the Electivire stage and a safari, which will give trainers a chance to catch Drowzee, Hypno, Frillish, Jellicent, Elgyem, Beheeyem and Mesprit. Several repeat runs have also begun, such as Groudon and Wobuffet. And, if you’re a regular player, why not give the returning Daily Pokémon Challenge (#4) a try? Like all the Daily Pokémon Challenges, it will change which Pokémon is available on every day, starting with Wynaut, and then going through Torkoal, Zangoose, Luvdisc, and Seviper, before going back to Wynaut.
