  1. Just a heads up to all Zelda Breath of the Wild players:
    Starting tomorrow, i think on the switch only, you can access a news channel that, after you update today, can offer you free items in game when you go through links on the news channel to open the game, neat little feature~

  2. NWC is coming back! . . . in the middle of October?

    While this is awesome and it means we’ll probably get a direct or something around then, why would they do it now instead of E3 or Gamescom?

  3. Oh my GOD guys, I NEED that Metroid New 3DS XL. I’m going to replace my plain black one with it. That came so far out of left field.

  4. 6th of my new Slavian Form

    Slavian Kricketune
    Bug/Flying
    At night they fly through the air singing their song. They attack by making their song louder to the point of making their enemies deaf. People said that they can fly as long as they are making music.

    Signature ability:
    Flying Musician
    Sound related moves are Flying type moves when Slavian Kricketune use them

  5. Well Joe just put the image up on Serebii, so there is like a 95% of the recently leaked Coro Coro image being real. Supposedly it gets both Accelrock and Counter and its ability is Tough Claws. There is now word on its typing but I am airing on a pure Rock type.

  6. Serebii states that there will be a special Rockruff distribution for USUM starting at November 17th. I guess that this is the only way to get Dusk form smh
