About two months ago, Pokémon Shuffle players were given the chance to challenge Mega Lucario in a timed battle to rack up as many points as they could. If a player were to have a high enough score in their region, they would receive a Lucarionite that couldn’t be obtained by normal means. For those that missed out on the event or weren’t able to obtain it the first time around, now’s your chance for redemption!
The Mega Lucario challenge has returned and is once again giving players the chance to get their Lucarionite. As it was the first time around, you have to be ranked top in your region: 15k in Europe, 30k in North America, and 65k in Japan.
For those that already have the Lucarionite, you can still enter, but once the challenge is finished, you’ll receive two Jewels. For those that don’t get top in their region and don’t have a Lucarionite, you will get one Jewel.
Be sure to Check In and download the new 1.1.13 patch to gain access to the Mega Lucario challenge. This event runs until May 25th.
A new Daily Pokémon stage has appeared on Pokémon Shuffle, allowing you to take a shot at catching Girafarig!
Before being able to catch Girafarig, be sure to update your game by clicking Check In and getting the new 1.1.13 patch to get it. As usual with Daily Pokémon, you only have 24 hours to try and catch it, so get Girafarig while you can!

Badland: Game of the Year Edition was recently featured in a stream on Twitch. Head past the break to check out an hour of footage from the game.

There are plenty of Kickstarter projects that feature Wii U in one form or another. For the latest look at which games are seeking funding, check out our roundup below.
Super Paperman (new) – €35,000 for funding, includes Wii U
The hero in this game is called Paperman, a tiny guy made out of, surprise, paper! His job is to deliver one person´s dreams to another, making him some kind of dreamful mailman. But this tiny dude´s world is in danger: The dream world starts to drift apart, leaving our lightweight hero lost in rifts! Are you going to help him fix the dreamworld and bring people back their dreams?
But one Paperman alone might not be enough to fix the tears torn into the magic world, so grab three of your friends and glue it back together as a team! Or be quicker than your partners and take all the credit!
LOUD on Planet X – $50,000 CAD for funding, Wii U stretch goal at $75,000 CAD
LOUD on Planet X is an arcade-style indie music game featuring Tegan and Sara, METZ, Metric, Lights, July Talk, F*cked Up, Cadence Weapon, Austra and more.
Choose from a cross-section of top current indie music artists, then defend your stage from hordes of quirky aliens by tapping to the music and using a fun assortment of makeshift weapons like speakers, strobe lights, fog machines, amplifiers, bouncers and custom special attacks!
LOUD on Planet X is an exciting new indie alternative to Rock Band or Guitar Hero with a splash of Plants vs Zombies – a new hybrid of rhythm game and classic shooter with tower defence elements.
Yooka-Laylee – already funded at $270,041, coming to Wii U
Yooka-Laylee is an all-new 3D platformer from the creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. We’ve come together to form Playtonic Games and create a spiritual successor to our most cherished work from the past!
Our new heroes, Yooka (the green bloke with no pants) and Laylee (the wisecracking lady-bat with the big nose) were conceptualised from the ground up for stellar platforming gameplay, created by the same character artist behind the rebooted Donkey Kong family and legendary N64 heroes Banjo and Kazooie.
Using an arsenal of special moves like Yooka’s tongue grapple and Laylee’s tactical sonar blast, players will explore – and expand – gorgeous 3D worlds drawn up by esteemed environment artist Steven Hurst (Banjo-Kazooie series, Viva Pinata) and through skill discover the plethora of delicious collectibles hidden within.
