Pokémon Shuffle Mobile
The Beta for Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is now currently live in Japan, and has come with several interesting tidbits. As opposed to being a directly straight port, there are a few differences. First, the Beta only goes up to Stage 30. Next, for the Special Stages, it currently has the Mew and Rotom event stages running, as well as the Meowth one. However, the stages can be locked if you have already played a one-per-day event and you may have to spend Jewels to unlock them. In addition to that, the Mew stage costs 2 hearts to play rather than the usual 1. Finally, there's a new Present Box option which shows you the items you receive as gifts when you check in. We'll bring more as it comes, including whether these details are just for the Beta or if there will be less parity between the 3DS and Mobile versions.
