Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion is focused on celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary (or, at least leading up to the big day, as the season shall end a month before the game’s actual anniversary). One of this season’s features is Daily Discoveries, where different events and/or perks will…
During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game. This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
Another Mega-Evolved Pokémon is joining Pokémon GO during the Season of Memories in Motions and it’s Falinks! Though, instead of this being a standard Mega Raid Day, Mega Falinks will debut in Super Mega Raids. These Raids are more difficult than Mega Raids and will require your own team of…
During the dark days of Nintendo’s history when the Wii U was the new, room temperature thing, Capcom was a strong supporter of Nintendo’s ill-fated tablet-based platform. In addition to an exclusive port of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, the company released things like Ducktales Remastered and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles…
I’ll admit it: Resident Evil Requiem’s marketing had me worried. When Leon’s reveal showed him swinging a hatchet, roundhouse kicking enemies, and plunging a chainsaw into a zombie’s torso, it heavily clashed with the creeping horror tone that had been established until that point. The last time Capcom tried to…
Ubisoft’s Rayman has always been a victim of circumstance that succeeded against all odds. There’s no better example of this than the initial reaction of launching Sony’s PlayStation, a console renowned for bringing in the 3D polygon era of gaming, with Rayman, a 32-bit 2D platformer. Even amidst skepticism, Rayman…
Square Enix hasn’t wasted any time in pumping out remakes of their beloved RPGs over the last several years, and Dragon Quest is no stranger to this phenomenon with the recent release of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake and 2024’s release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. The…
Final Fantasy VII is one of those games I’ve never been able to completely shake since I first played it nearly three decades ago. While I didn’t play it right at launch (I was a N64 kid, after all), I did end up picking up the PC release a few…
It’s a little hard to believe that the Dynasty Warriors series will be turning 26 this year. Released as a North American PlayStation 2 launch title all the way back in 2000, Dynasty Warriors 2 (which received its number due to a PS1 fighter called Dynasty Warriors in the US)…
With the Nintendo Switch 2, we’re starting to see the gap between PC games and console games close considerably. I don’t mean this in terms of raw hardware power, as PC will always be the top of the pack there. What I mean is Nintendo launched a console with native…
Like a handful of current and former colleagues here at Nintendo Wire, I know exactly where I was the morning of June 13th, 2017. Packed into a hotel room turned office, we’re watching Nintendo’s digital Spotlight presentation, typing up news articles and getting excited for our favorites — I got…
Kirby has proven time and again that he can really be anything and star in any kind of game. What’s not touched on as much is that these experiments don’t always work out. Case and point, Kirby Air Ride. Players and reviewers just didn’t gel with the game back in…
Octopath Traveler 0 is nearly upon us, and thanks to the folks at Square Enix I’ve spent plenty of time with it over the last few weeks. For those who are unaware, Octopath Traveler 0 is essentially a remake of the mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent with…
In the early ’90s, Marvel mania was alive and well throughout arcades. Whether a cabinet was made by Sega, Konami, or Capcom, you could practically throw an arcade token and have a high chance of hitting a Marvel beat-em-up. Though the synthesis of Spider-Man, The Avengers, X-Men, and The Punisher…
There’s a classic trope in shōnen anime where the hero arrives at a climactic moment at the very last minute, precisely when they are needed most. The Dragon Ball Z anime uses it repeatedly — when all hope appears lost and the Z Fighters are on the brink of defeat,…
