Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection will have worldwide release on Switch
Posted on 9 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, which was just revealed for Switch yesterday, has now been confirmed for worldwide release on Switch.
Oddly, the English announcement only namedrops the Game Boy Color title Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists. The Game Boy Advance game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 was already confirmed for Japan, so it’s a bit of a strange omission. Konami does say that “the collection will include titles that weren’t previously released in the west.”

Shiny Pokemon that are gone forever when Pokemon Bank closes
Posted on 9 months ago by Ethan in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Guides | 0 comments
Nintendo recently announced the almost-complete closure of 3DS and Wii U online services on April 8 – and just about every single game is losing online functionality on that day. Pokemon Bank, however, is the exception. It won’t remain open forever, but eventually Nintendo will cut the cord on all of its online services. When that happens, Pokemon Bank will become unusable and it will be impossible to transfer Pokemon from previous generations to the Switch.
More than a few Pokemon can only be Shiny on Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS titles – on Switch, there’s no way to Shiny hunt any of these Pokemon (at least, not yet). Today, we’re going over a list of Pokemon whose Shiny forms will become unobtainable once Pokemon Bank closes. Again, we’re not entirely sure when this will be, but if you’re looking to save some cool Shiny Pokemon now might be a good time to start hunting.
