A Western release of Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS seems fairly likely by now, but nothing is confirmed quite yet. Japanese gamers, meanwhile, can look forward to playing the game quite soon. Square Enix announced today that first-print copies of the game will include a download code (valid until September 30th) for Erdrick’s Sword. Erdrick is a legendary hero mentioned through the series, especially in the earlier games.

Daily Pokémon stages have come back with a new round of Pokémon. Starting off the Daily stages this week is Wynaut. Wynaut will be made available every Monday until July 18th and can only be obtained this way, so try to get Wynaut while you can! Don’t forget to hit Check In once you boot up your game so it can update and give you access to these stages. Good luck!
Hoenn’s star-like legendary, Jirachi, is now available for you to capture in Pokémon Shuffle! This special event will run until July 10th, and will only be playable once a day until then, so make your best moves and be strategic as possible if you want to try and obtain this legendary in the upcoming days!
As usual, don’t forget to hit Check In to make sure the game updates and you’re able to gain access to this event. Good luck!
A new week, a new event! Unova’s adorable fire starter Pokémon is now available for trainers to catch in Pokémon Shuffle. This event differs slightly from previous events as you will only be able to attempt this battle once a day. As usual, don’t forget to hit the Check In button and update your game to gain access to this event!
Tepig will be made available until July 20th, so get it while you can!
Last week Pokémon Shuffle players had the chance to go up against a brand new challenge that require trainers to go up against a Mega Manectite at their chance for a Manectite that couldn’t be obtained by normal means. The rules of this challenge were similar to previous events, where the player would try their best to get as many points as possible in the given time limit. Now Manectites are being distributed to players around the world that were able to rank in this competition.
If you were one of the top 20k in Europe, 40k in North America, and 50k in Japan, you should be receiving the Manectite now. In addition to this, for those that were able to rank, players should also be receiving a Mega Start to go along with it. The top 3k in Europe, 6k in North America, and 15k in Japan will obtain a Mega Speedup as well as the aforementioned prizes. As usual, for those that participated but weren’t able to rank, you will still receive a Jewel for your efforts.
Were you able to rank in your respective region? Let us know if you were able to obtain the Manectite and any of the other rewards!
Happy 4th of July to everyone celebrating! Even if you have nothing to do with the holiday, I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.
Last week, I put up a pretty important post on Nintendo Everything. If you haven’t already seen it, I’d greatly appreciate if you’d give it a look since it’s very critical to the site’s future. The gist is that, from a financial standpoint, I have some concerns, and I feel like something will need to change sooner rather than later in order for things to continue as they are now. Ultimately I’ve just wanted to continue handling the site in the same manner that I have been for the past eight years, am I’m hoping that some of the suggestions you threw my way will allow for that.
The kindness you’ve shown thus far has been overwhelming. I can’t thank you all enough for the positive sentiments, words of encouragement, and overall support you’ve shared. It truly means a lot to me, and I can’t say that enough.
Over the past few days, I’ve been taking the time to really look at and reflect upon all of the comments left in last week’s post. There were two main suggestions that were brought up, and both were donation-related. One idea was to add a donation link (ex: PayPal) to the site. The other, which was suggested more than anything else, was Patreon. Patreon is something that I may very well pursue, but I feel like this post (and subsequent feedback once again!) is necessary before anything can happen.
So what the heck is Patreon? Many of you seem to be familiar with it already, but it’s certainly worth an explanation regardless.
Patreon would allow anyone who visits Nintendo Everything to donate to the site each month. That could be as little as $1, or something higher – it’d be entirely up to you. You’d also be able to cancel or change your donation amount from month to month. Patreon is more than a donation service though. It would also allow me to provide everyone who chips in with a few “rewards”.
At least for now, the idea of Patreon seems like the smarter way of approaching the situation when compared to a donation link. With the former, you guys would have complete control as to how much to donate from month to month. I also like the idea of providing something in return, even if it wouldn’t be huge.
I think that’s it for now. Just like last week, I’ll be reading up on everything you all have to say in the comments below. I realize that we already had a pretty big talk and Patreon was one of the top suggestions stemming from the previous post, but I really did feel like one more discussion was necessary before proceeding with anything. Based on last week’s comments and how people respond this week, I’ll be making a final decision on how to proceed very soon.
