Did you miss your chance to obtain the Venusaurite in Pokemon Shuffle the first time around? Now you’ve got another chance since the competition has returned. In Europe, the top 20,000 players in the competition will receive an Attack Power Up item, the top 16,000 will receive Venusaurite and the top 1,200 will receive a Mega Speedup on top of that. Ranking below 20,000 nets you a Disruption delay. As per usual, if you already have a Venusaurite, you will receive a Jewel instead if you rank in the top 16,000.
In North America, the thresholds are 30,000 for the Attack Power Up item, 25,000 for the Venusaurite and 2,000 for the Mega Speedup.
Nintendo uploaded another Super Mario Maker video to their Japanese Twitter account. This one focuses on the “afterimages” of Mario that let you see his exact movement, which helps you plan the jumps needed to complete the levels you make. Check it out below:

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest VIII remains at number one, and Monster Hunter X is following right behind.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 30 and August 5.
Update: (8/23): Bumped to the top. Miller has now posted another tweet saying that he has “no idea” if Layton will be in Smash Bros.
Original (8/22): In July, the IMDB page for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS was edited to include Christopher Robin Miller. This is the voice actor behind Professor Layton in the English version of the games. A couple of weeks back, a fan asked if the listing was true, which he denied.
Another fan once again asked Miller on Twitter today about being credited on IMDB for playing Professor Layton in Smash Bros. Interestingly, he indicated this time around that he did actually voice lines for the games.
There could be a few things going on here. Perhaps Miller has his wires crossed, and he’s incorrectly thinking that he voiced lines for Professor Layton in Smash Bros. Or maybe he’s joking. Another possibility, while it would be somewhat surprising due to the nature of NDAs, is that Miller let some information slip. What do you guys think?
