Costumed Eevee returns for the Winter Holiday event, but only for one weekend! Not only that, but the daily point restriction has been lifted for the event’s GO Pass: Winter Holiday 2025. So now is the time to level up and earn rewards. Now, check out what’s happening during the…
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…
The second half of this year’s Winter Holiday event in Pokémon GO is here! For this part, more Costumed Pokémon from previous Winter Holiday events will be available. In addition to that, Rolycoly and it’s evolutionary line will debut in game (so, yes, you’re also getting coal for the season)….
It’s hard to imagine that here we are, in 2022, and we’re still getting new details about the development of the original Pokémon games. I mean, these games are some of the most iconic and beloved titles in gaming history, so it’s surprising when something comes out that genuinely surprises…
I’m a friend of many talented artists, which is how I know that that stuff takes time. You can’t just paint the Mona Lisa in one go in one layer, after all — but maybe you’d be able to paint a Pikachu that quickly, if you’re a Pokémon fan artist,…
It’s right before Memorial Day weekend, which means the same thing it does every year — it’s almost E3 time! Or it would be, if E3 wasn’t cancelled. First, let’s spare some Fs for the fallen conference, gone but not forgotten… we will treasure the cringe compilations in our heart…
Reggie Fils-Aimé is a man both far more and far less interesting than you would think. On paper, he should have a truly remarkable life. Born to the son of Haitian immigrants, growing up in the Bronx, working his way up and across various corporate ladders to become a transformative…
The Nintendo Wiretap is back with news that’ll surely please Xenoblade fans! With the news that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is releasing a full two months early, there’s a lot to rejoice. We discuss the release and new info about Sonic Origins’ upcoming launch that’ll be bringing fans some of their…
It was all because of an eyepatch. When I was a kid, I only chose boy characters in games. Socialization had (incorrectly) taught me that people should play avatars in games that match the gender they have in real life. In my repressed vision, guys who played girls in Pokémon…
Science fiction has a long, well-worn history of struggling to gain critical esteem and recognition. Due to public perception of the genre as either pulpy formulaic clichés that anybody could spit out in half an hour or dense jargony drivel whose weight could kill a person in one blow, as…
Stop-motion animation is one of my favorite art forms, wholly unique and the product of painstaking work. The sheer effort it takes to produce the art is often underappreciated, as are its realistic look and almost pure artistry in bringing a technically unmoving object to life. But few are as…
Last month was full of exciting new games from Nintendo and other publishers and developers, so much that we have a number of noteworthy recommendations for your consideration. Whether you’re in the market for some racing fun, strategic role-playing, or something more relaxing like farm simulation, there are plenty of…
I struggle to think of any game I’ve played quite like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. It’s easy and convenient to pin it into genres like Adventure or Strategy, yet everything it does within those base parts feels as intricately thought out as its gorgeous environments and designs. Normally I don’t…
Perfection is thought to be beyond the realm of human attainability. “Nobody’s perfect” goes the old aphorism. It is only understandable — as human beings we are subject to foibles, foils, desire and base instinct that works against our sense of what would be good for us. We all sneak…
The lengths some fans will go to enhance their gaming experience in one way or another is nothing short of amazing, enough to create testaments to the ingenuity of the human spirit. Take this dedicated Switch fan on Reddit, u/snk50, who has made a full on arcade cabinet to play…
