Starting today until June 22nd, Giratina will be available for capture on Pokémon Shuffle. This event slightly differs from other challenges in the past, as this is the first ever Escalation Battle. What makes an Escalation Battle different from the other challenges – which have typically been timed events – is that as you beat the stage more and more, the difficulty raises, but with the difficulty rising, your chances of catching Giratina become greater and the rewards much better.
Once you reach Level 5 of the Giratina stage, you will be awarded with 1,000 coins. At Level 10, you’ll be awarded with a Disruption Delay. Level 30 provides a Mega Start, and at Level 50 a Mega Speedup.
To celebrate the launch of this new Escalation Battle, players from around the world will receive a Mega Speedup for free. All you have to do is boot up your game and hit Check In to download the new patch and obtain it!
Last week’s Mega Venusaur challenge has concluded, and now the top ranking players within their region from around the world are receiving their Venusaurite.
If you were the top 10k in Europe, 20k in North America, or 50k in Japan, you should be receiving your Venusaurite now. For those that participated but didn’t rank, as with other challenges of this nature, you’ll be awarded a Jewel for trying. Don’t forget to Check In and update your game to receive it!
Were you one of the lucky ones within your region to snag a Venusaurite? These can’t be obtained by normal play, so let us know in the comments below!
The last time I played through Xenoblade Chronicles was just after its European release in 2011, so I’ll let the other staff writers with fresher memories of it handle the actual game of the month. Instead, I’d like to take a not-so-brief look back at the history of the game’s developer, Monolith Soft, and the games they developed prior to Xenoblade. There are plenty of recurring themes, gameplay elements and staff involved, so let’s see how almost a decade of developing RPGs shaped this robot-slaying, god-climbing adventure.
HullBreach Studios released a new SDK Paint video for the game’s upcoming version 3 update. It shows the updates to the interface, including the menus used to reach various aspects of the application. In another video, HullBreach will provide a look at the overhauled painting screen like the new brush types and the add-on content Effects Pack.
Update: Welp, this is what happens when your brain melts. We reported on this in 2013, but now a confirmation that it’s arriving soon. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates!
Momonga Pinball Adventures is planned for the Wii U eShop, Paladin Studios has confirmed to Nintendo Everything.
Originally, Momonga Pinball Adventures launched for mobile platforms in 2013. Here’s the official overview:
Instead of regular pinball, Momonga has levels, enemies, and bossfights. The hero is Momo, a young momonga who barely survived an owl attack on his village. He joins forces with a friendly panda and an ambitious firefly, who help him to win back his tribe. Are you able to stop the owl general Kuton and restore balance to the world? It’s time to roll.
Paladin Studios is keeping quiet on Wii U-specific details at the moment, including a release date. However, we’re told that it’s “coming soon.” The game will be on display at Gamescom, so it should definitely hit the eShop at some point this year.
You can get a look at Momonga Pinball Adventures in the video below.
We have a few new screenshots from LEGO Jurassic World, which launches on Tuesday. That includes the first images of the 3DS version, which we found on the eShop. Take a look at the screenshots below.

Entries on GameFly indicate that Nintendo will be handling the release of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games – at least in North America. The retailer has Nintendo listed as the publisher of both the Wii U and 3DS versions.
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games was the first entry in the series Nintendo published worldwide. Prior to that, SEGA was in charge of publishing in all regions except for Japan, where the Big N handled things.
