Today’s Super Smash Bros. for 3DS screenshot appears to reveal a new stage in the game that pays homage to the Game Boy. Check it out below:

Sakurai left an additional comment on Miiverse, in which he states:

If you turn on the 3D effect, it really looks like there’s a Game Boy inside the screen.

Although Sakurai doesn’t flat-out confirm a stage here, that definitely looks like the case.

New Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire details and scans are starting to emerge from this month’s CoroCoro. In the magazine, a few new Mega Evolutions and other information are revealed.

Mega Altaria, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Salamence are all confirmed. Mega Altaria is Dragon/Fair type with Pixilate and Mega Lopunny who is Normal/Fighting type with Scrappy. Mega Salamence can use the ability Aerilate.

When players change Pikachu’s clothes for contests, it gets special moves. Pikachu Rock Star can use the move Meteor Mash, Pikachu Ph. D. knows Electric Terrain, Pikachu Pop Star knows Draining Kiss, Pikachu Belle knows Icicle Crash, and Pikachu Libre knows Flying Press.

Another tidbit from CoroCoro: players receive a shiny Beldum – who holds its Mega Stone – in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire through an event. The magazine also confirms that you’ll earn special clothes for participating in contests with you meeting a Contest Idol named Lucia.

During this week’s Hyrule Warriors Direct, Nintendo announced that retailers would be offering exclusive costume DLC. We now have a little bit of news about which stores are offering the different pre-order bonuses.

First, the Ocarina of Time Costume Pack is confirmed for GameStop. This includes Ocarina of Time themed costumes for Link and Zelda.

Based on a listing on Amazon Canada, the retailer seems to be offering the Twilight Princess Pack in North America. The same rule applies here: you’ll receive Twilight Princess themed costumes for Link and Zelda.

My guess would be that Best Buy will have the final Skyward Sword Pack DLC.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has another update on Hyrule Warriors. While Monday’s Hyrule Warriors Direct beat the magazine to the punch with new character reveals, there is an update on some other portions of the game such as stages. The official website provides more information as well.

There are three stages detailed this week worth mentioning: Gerudo Desert, Temple of the Sacred Sword, and Palace of the Mind. Each is an original stage for Hyrule Warriors, though they share the atmosphere of Zelda games. For instance, Twilight Princess has the Gerudo Desert, and the Temple of the Sacred Sword is a close image of the Lost Woods in A Link to the Past.

We’ve seen a lot of different trophies from the daily screenshots, but today Sakurai shows us what it’ll be like to view them in-game:

Here’s something new–the trophy shop. If you’re having a hard time getting certain trophies, why not just buy them? They sometimes go on sale, too.
