The Australian Classification Board has now given ratings to several Sega 3D Classics. The recently rated titles are 3D Out Run, 3D Fantasy Zone, 3D Fantasy Zone II, and 3D Thunder Blade.
A couple of these titles had already been anticipated to have launched alongside other PAL releases, however they seemed to have been delayed. Sega never commented on the delay but seeing ratings given to the games is good evidence that we should see them released sometime soon.
No specific release date has been given at this time.
In this neat 45-minute video, we get a look at Bravely Second: End Layer with some of the developers from Silicon Studio. Throughout the video, the devs give insight to new information and mechanics of the game, discussing everything from music to dungeons, jobs to mini-games and much more!
Bravely Second: End Layer launches in Japan on April 23rd
For the last week on Pokémon Shuffle players from all over the world have been competing to be one of the top 20,000 in America and Europe/Australia (50,000 in Japan) to get their chance at obtaining a Lucarionite. The rules were simple: face off against a Mega Lucario in a special event and rack up as high of a score as you could within 1 minute. You could play as many times as you wanted, as long as you had hearts available.
Now that the event is over, Lucarionites are going out to the top players of the competition. Unfortunately, I placed 33,201 out of the 250k+ entrants (I swear I was around 9,000 three days ago!), but I was still given a Jewel just for trying – so all is well!
Were you one of the top 20,000 in your region to obtain a Lucarionite? Let us know!
Two weeks ago we reported that Pokémon Shuffle had surpassed 1 million downloads within two weeks of launch. Three weeks later, Pokémon Shuffle has now reached 2,500,000 downloads.
This is huge news for the free Pokémon themed puzzler, and those numbers will surely continue to grow.
As a token of appreciation, all Pokémon Shuffle players are being gifted a free Disruption Delay. For those unaware, Disruption Delay helps prevent the enemy Pokémon from causing any inconveniences — such as freezing a few tiles, swapping out your party for other unwanted Pokémon, adding wooden blocks, etc. — for a certain duration.
Personally, Pokémon Shuffle has been a ton of fun for me since it came out. As someone who was heavily addicted to the frenetic match-three twist of Pokémon Trozei, this certainly provides tons of entertainment in a well put together fashion that isn’t overwhelming in its UI, mechanics, or anything of the sort. I find it hard to believe people have actually been spending money on Pokémon Shuffle when it is perfectly enjoyable and feasible to get through its entirety without having to spend a dime.
How have you been enjoying Pokémon Shuffle? Let us know in the comments below!
You can grab Pokémon Shuffle for free via the Nintendo eShop
That cute little electric squirrel and the Pokémon responsible for taking Se Jun Park all the way to #1 spot in the VG Masters Finals at the 2014 Pokémon World Championship is now available for capture via the Special Stages tab in Pokémon Shuffle after a quick update.
Pachirisu will available for capture for the next 24 hours, so get it while you can!
Unova’s Mythical Water and Fighting type Pokémon is now available to be caught in Pokémon Shuffle! Once you check in to Pokémon Shuffle, Keldeo will be made available right away after a quick update. Whether you’re able to catch Keldeo or not, the first time you clear the stage you’ll be rewarded with 5,000 coins. This is a pretty huge reward considering the average battle gives you around 300 coins.
Keldeo will be made available until April 6th, 2015.

So let’s get down the to serious-and-yet-unserious side of Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter as a franchise has had a long history of games, starting in 2004 with the original entry, to a decade later with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. I have always been intrigued by the series and have enjoyed numerous forays into the wild to hunt many monsters, but I have generally felt that there was something missing. I always enjoyed the fact that the games have had an air of silly humor via some of their support characters, and that they have even given you various minions to help you along the way, but none of these bits of charm have made me smile as much as much as the Palicoes in the latest entry, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate! Who knew that a furry little critter could make such a difference; could this be what this series has been missing?
Felyne’s – small, bipedal cat creatures – have various roles in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, but the bravest of them all are named “Palicoes”. These furry hunting companions will travel with you during solo quests, as well as with you and one other hunter and their chosen felyne warrior. You select and create your Palico at the beginning of the game right alongside your own character, choosing their color, markings, and even bestowing upon them a name. I took the latter very seriously as I thought long and hard about my felyne companion; I wanted every aspect of my choices to be just right. After probably way to much time and thought (I honestly think I spent more time on him then my own character), I made my decisions and my furry little friend and I set off on what would prove to be some wild adventures!
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Highlights include Bravely Second at #2, Theatrhythm Dragon Quest at #3 and Fire Emblem If at #6. Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D are also in the top ten.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between March 5 and March 11.
