Can you believe Valentine’s Day is only a month away now? I’m a firm believer in chocolates, but all you flower fans who Gotta Catch ‘em All are in luck. Pokémon GO has announced what its February Community Day offering is going to be, and it’s a flowering cutie with…

Dragalia Lost has been ring-a-linging in 2021 with the return of Hinomoto vibes for about a week now. On top of plenty of events, bonuses, and free summons was the Cursed Connections raid event. Like some previous holiday events, they decided to split the new characters between a pair of…
Thracia 776 may be a follow up/side story to the gripping Genealogy of the Holy War, and yet in my experience it’s the least talked about Fire Emblem by a large margin. Doesn’t help it was never localized, and yet it just doesn’t seem to grab even diehard fans. It…

Lakitu really doesn’t get enough credit when it comes to Mario Kart. Yes, one has been a playable driver since Mario Kart 7, but these cloud riders practically make Mario Kart happen with all they do. Thankfully that work hard mentality is about to pay off. Take a look at…
Fire Emblem Heroes is keeping its yearly traditions going with more kimono-clad characters coming to the game soon. On top of that, though, this can feel like a follow up to last year’s. A duo of important story characters? Check. A third original character as a standalone? Yep! Familiar kitsune…
