Pokemon Quest is Now on Smartphones

The first thing on this list is that Pokemon Quest is now on mobile devices, instead of just the switch. So if you enjoyed the game or havn't gotten a chance to try it out, this is the perfect opportunity to get it.

Yo-Kai Watch Coming to Smartphones to Challenge Pokemon Go!

The next bit of news took me by suprise!

          Level-5 and GungHo Online Entertainment have just launched a Yo-Kai Watch game for iOS and Android smartphones in Japan only.
Yo-Kai Watch World is a location-based title similar Pokémon GO, where famous Yo-Kai characters appear "in the real world" around you. The goal is to fill your Yo-Kai Encyclopedia by visiting different locations and searching for signs of Yo-Kai activity. Using AR, your phone will display the Yo-Kai, at which point you'll enter a battle phase.
Battles are semi-automatic and are won using special moves; victory allows you to befriend the Yo-Kai, and you can then train them, which results in even stronger Yo-Kai appearing. The trailer also hints that raid battles - where players join forces to take down powerful foes - will also feature.

In an interesting twist, your Yo-Kai can "possess" nearby players and travel with them to new areas for a short time; this may result in them returning with new Yo-Kai or bonus items.
lastly, it's possible to plant "Yo-Kai Trees" at various locations in order to attract new Yo-Kai. This sounds a lot like using a Lure Module at a PokéStop in Pokémon GO.

As a matter of fact, it looks a LOT like Pokemon Go! What do you think of this Yo-Kai Watch mobile game? Will it be different enough from Go? Do you think it will fail? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

I'm confident we'll get to a solution which will be understood and accepted by our gaming community, while at the same time supporting our business."

Now this is info from the official Super Smash Bros Ultimate blog. So what could this mean? Well, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were a Snipperclips stage. We've seen plenty of quirky stages like that in the past and I have a feeling that snip and clip will be some of the stage hazards!
