As the “Year of Eevee” celebration continues, more and more merchandise centered around the beloved Evolution Pokémon continues to be revealed. Just last week a brand-new life-size Eevee plush was shown off, but that wasn’t to be all they had in store. A new batch of life-size plushies have been…

BoxBoy! secured My Nintendo Rewards’ May calendar, and now there are a few other goodies added to the site as well. Discounts, 3DS themes, and a Splatoon 2 character chart download have joined the lineup! With more tentacles than an Inkopolis soap opera (ink opera?), the Squid Research Lab did…

Labo VR has only been out for a few short weeks, but we’ve already seen some incredible games made with its creative mode.

Pokémon freebies have always appeared in many different forms — trading cards, special Pokémon that you can train and battle with, figurines, toys, activity books, etc. Smart devices and digital-only goodies can also be thrown into the mix. What if the Pokémon Company mashes these two forms together though? Chris…
Since its initial reveal in a Direct, we haven’t gotten a ton of details on Oninaki, the next game due out from Tokyo RPG Factory. Earlier last week, however, Square Enix posted a new trailer that showcases the core cast members of the upcoming Action RPG, along with some out…
We’re on the cusp of May now, just days away from the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu’s premiere in Japan. We probably won’t receive many new trailers, posters, or clips at this point — but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting some sort of new promos to enjoy! The official Detective…
