With early copies of Resident Evil Requiem floating around, your chances of being spoiled on story elements before its February 27, 2026, release date are higher than ever. That sucks, and the situation is not lost on legendary designer Hideki Kamiya, director of the original Resident Evil 2. In a…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside one hour on Wednesdays for Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed and rescheduled…
It’s easy to imagine that magic is happening behind closed doors of Nintendo’s offices pretty much all the time. With the Nintendo Switch thriving during its second year and people becoming better acquainted with Labo now that it’s officially on store shelves, it’s safe to say that Nintendo seems to…
Giant. Buzz. Bomber. Look at this thing, it’s ridiculous. That’s on the first panel of this week’s final Sonic the Hedgehog comic for IDW’s April launch extravaganza, and it’s a fitting metaphor for the scale of this issue. The mysterious threat that’s been built up for weeks is finally going…

Thanks to a tip from @M_Hrycyk, we’ve…
Square Enix soundtracks have potentially received even more consistent praise than the games themselves. Often able to capture moods and carry characters, it’s no surprise that for Octopath Traveler my expectations are high at this point. Thankfully, Square Enix is apparently aware of that reputation, and has made it known…
With the third issue of the month releasing, we’re more than half way into the bombastic beginnings of IDW’s fresh run of Sonic the Hedgehog comics. In the previous installment Sonic helped clear out a village of robots with the help of Amy Rose, setting up a pretty solid relationship….
We already knew that the Kirby Dream Train was pulling into the station again, but it looks like it’s coming back in a bigger way than I could’ve imagined. What that means is a whole cargo cart’s worth of goods and enough cuteness to make you miss your transfer is…
Kirby’s starred in a lot of Japanese Ichiban Kuji lotteries, but this might be one of my favorites. Called Kirby’s Dream Remix, two of the top prizes received their own spotlighted videos. One look at them and you’ll know why: they’re absolutely adorable. You actually see both of…
Donkey Kong will be making his official debut on Switch when Tropical Freeze comes to Nintendo’s newest console May 3rd in Japan, and then on the 4th in Europe and the US. While you might already be looking forward to the release, it appears as though there may be even…
