Yet another Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire scan has emerged from this month’s issue of CoroCoro. The image above showcases Pokemon Contests – in-game shots of the Contest Hall specifically.
Feebas’s evolution is based on contests. We also learn that you can Mega Evolve during contests – boosting the Excite Meter & Appeal – but it can only be done when the Excite Meter is full.
TreeFall Studios has reduced the price of The Letter. It’s currently on sale for $0.49, whereas it’s normally $1.99. The sale will last through August 15.

There’s been little news about IronFall since the game’s initial reveal last year. However, despite the silence, VD-Dev has continued to tinker away on development.
VD-Dev’s hard work sounds like it’s paying off, as the studio confirmed on Twitter that the game is 90 percent complete. It also seems that we’ll be hearing about a release date in September. One thing is for sure: IronFall will launch before the end of 2014.
@Nintendo_Pe game is ready at 90 %. its becoming a big game, i am sure you'll like it 😉

The wait was incredibly long, but the Nuketown 2025 map finally came to Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Wii U yesterday. That might not be the only piece of new content heading to the game.
IGN spotted the Die Rise in Black Ops II’s menus, though it hasn’t actually been added just yet. We’ll have to wait and see if it ends up being accessible.
Nintendo games tend to be evergreen titles. By that, we mean that they’ll continue to sell well after their initial release.
Case and point: the Pokemon games. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, released in 2010, sold an additional 50,000 units between March 2013 and March 2014. Pokemon Black/White managed to move 160,000 units as well during the same time span. Lifetime sales of HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White are at 12.72 million units and 15.58 million units respectively.
Two Pokemon entries that aren’t selling any longer are Diamond and Pearl. They were at 17.63 million units as of March 2013, and nothing has changed since this March.
Like the “impossible coin”, there are other mysterious elements in Super Mario 64. One of these concerns a Goomba that has never been killed.
Bowser in the Sky holds what should be a triangle-formation Goomba group on one of its platforms. However, there is one Goomba that was initially presumed missing.
As it turns out, Super Mario 64 spawns the missing Goomba on the bottom of the map. It’s almost immediately killed due to its location.
Several methods have been created in hopes of defeating the Goomba, but none have worked thus far. It’s quite the mystery!
When THQ closed its doors, a large portion of former developers from Vigil Games moved on to Crytek USA. But just last month, Vigil founder and Crytek USA head David Adams left the company. He has since gone on to create a brand new independent studio, Gunfire Games.
Gunfire Games is just getting started and is employing a handful of people. All are leads from Crytek USA.
While things are definitely early, Adams told Polygon that Gunfire is exploring the possibility of returning to Darksiders. In fact, the studio has spoken with Darksiders IP owner Nordic Games.
IGN managed to secure more images from the Nintendo Character Reference Guide that released two decades ago. This time around, we have scans focusing on The Legend of Zelda.
Check out the images in the gallery above. One of the images is particularly noteworthy as it states that Link nearly killed Zelda (there’s more on that in the scan).
