Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

Here’s two additional screenshots for the game:

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile

Thanks to Serebii, we have some details about the Pokémon Shuffle Mobile beta, which was announced last week. Right now, there’s only 30 stages available, and the current Special Stages are Mew (which costs 2 hearts), Rotom and Meowth. However, there’s a restriction: if you’ve already played one of the “once per day” stages, you might have to use jewels to play the others.

There’s also an addition compared to the Nintendo 3DS version: a present box, where you can see all the presents you received via check-in.

Odoru?! Pokémon Ongaku-tai

Last week, The Pokémon Company revealed the trailer for Odoru?! Pokémon Ongaku-tai, which is coming soon to Android and iOS. This tie-in game will only be downloadable until September 30th, and playable until October 29th.
