The next entry in the Taiko Drum Master series, Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure, is now available to pre-download for Japanese players, as the game nears its June 16th release. The game will take up 3,674 blocks (459.25MB) of space. Furthermore, new screenshots of the game have released on Nintendo’s website. You can check those out below.
Locations across Japan will be distributing a free shiny Gardevoir for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire players, with codes being given out at multiple retailers (including Pokemon Centers, Toys ‘R Us, Bic Camera, Joshin Denki, Edion, Ito-Yokado and Yodobashi Camera) and a direct download available from 7-11’s 7-Spot. This distribution is to celebrate the upcoming movie, Volcanion & The Ingenious Magearna.
