The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks were both released on the European Virtual Console after the Nintendo Direct last week. NintenDaan has taken a brief look at Phantom Hourglass – check out his video below:

Pokemon Shuffle was once again updated today. First of all, new main stages were added today, starting with stage #241, Budew.

Next, the Mega Manectric competition makes its return. If you’ve missed the Manectite the first time around, now’s your chance. You need to place in the top 12,000 in Europe, 18,000 in the US and 50,000 in Japan in order to get the Mega Stone. The top 1,000 in Europe, 1,600 in the US and 5,000 in Japan get a Mega Speedup on top of that. The top 20,000 in Europe, 30,000 in the US and 80,000 in Japan get an Attack Power Up item. Everyone else gets a jewel.

The final new addition is a Delibird escalation battle. You get various items for beating certain levels of the stage:

11 Exp. Points x1.5
51 Moves +5
101 Disruption Delay

Let’s Talk #30: What are you playing? – November 2015

On Thursday, Nintendo finally presented a new Nintendo Direct. Fans were waiting a long, long time for this one.

The new Nintendo Direct was light on brand new game reveals, but there were still plenty of noteworthy announcements. Zelda: Twilight Princess HD was finally confirmed. The original Pokemon games are finally coming to the 3DS Virtual Console in February. Two Dragon Quest games are heading west next year. And the big one: Cloud is coming to Smash Bros. There were other things mixed in as well like Splatoon gear/maps, new/free DLC for Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, and Pokemon Picross. Heck, we even saw a few more seconds of Zelda Wii U footage, which I think came as a surprise to many.

What did you guys think of the latest Nintendo Direct? Are you satisfied with what was shown? Or were you left wanting more? Any thoughts on specific announcements? Let us know in the comments below!
