Pokémon Trading Card Game Re-Released on 3DS November 14, 2014

Nintendo has just announced that the much beloved Game Boy Color version of the Pokémon: Trading Card Game has gotten a digital re-release on the Nintendo 3DS through the Nintendo Virtual Console service.

How does the game look? Exactly as you remember. Here’s the official trailer.

While many fans of this game are still lamenting the fact that its sequel never was released in the West, the fact that Nintendo is rereleasing this title is certainly a good sign. Hopefully this won’t be the last Pokémon Game Boy title released on the 3DS Virtual Console, as there is plenty of room for Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow, and all of the 2nd Generation titles released for Game Boy Color on my 3DS’s upgraded SD Card.

Pokémon Trading Card Game can be purchased right now from the Virtual Console menu on the Nintendo eShop. It is exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS/2DS.

D4 Patch 1.1 Released, All DLC Re-Released for Two Weeks November 14, 2014

An enormous patch for the Xbox One exclusive adventure game D4 was released earlier this week. The new patch, weighing in at over 8 GB, adds new balance changes and bug fixes to the game.

The changes mentioned in the 1.1 patch include a reduction in the stamina burn rate during dives, and more food options during dives. The developers also tweaked some of the more frustrating control moments, and adjusted controller input for actions like “follow the circle” and “rapid moving thumbstick” moments.

Kinect commands have also been improved for players interested in using the Kinect to play the game. The patch notes mention the developers improved lock-on skeletal tracking and hand state accuracy. Kinect inputs should be faster and more reliable now. You can now also tell your Xbox One to simply “Go to D4” when you want to play the game if you have a Kinect installed.

Oh and for the next two weeks, the game developers have decided to re-release all of the game’s exclusive downloadable content, including exclusive clothing items and beard styles you otherwise won’t be able to unlock in the game. There is a lot of DLC to download, and the content will only be up for two weeks so get it now. All the content is still free, so players have no reason not to download it!

D4 is out now exclusively on Xbox One.
