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…
With the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation less than a month away now, people are understandably very eager to learn more about the successor to the Switch. While more is known now than has ever been before, there has been little in the way of specific information made available quite yet….
When Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was announced a few days ago, fans such as myself were excited. It’s been too long since the THPS series was prominent and while the excellent THPS 1+2 hinted at a bright future, Activision Blizzard put the kibosh on things after the game sold…
While in many ways the original Pokémon Red & Blue still hold up to this day, they definitely have some unique quirks, from completely broken moves to mismanaged typing. Some of the more surface-level oddities, however, are the backsprites used for the player and Pokémon when in battle. In the…
Halloween 2021 may be over but Lego and Nintendo did give us a treat before the spooky times ended with the announcement of new Luigi’s Mansion-themed sets. While they don’t include Luigi himself, you’ll have to grab his Starter Course for that, the three new sets feature the likes of…
Suddenly today, Nintendo of America closed two of its satellite offices. Initially reported by Kotaku, sources informed them that it was just the Redwood City, California office (home to its sales and marketing departments). After reaching out to Nintendo for a statement, it was confirmed that the Toronto, Ontario office…

Technically we haven’t celebrated Halloween yet, but that hasn’t stopped retailers and various companies from showing off their Christmas goods.

On Friday, November 19th, the Pokémon Center of Japan’s “fun fun fit” (aka, Pokémon Fit) lineup of palm-sized plushes will be expanding to the next region with its fifth collection. To tie in with the release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shinning Pearl that day, all 121 species of the…
Nearly all of Nintendo’s mobile titles have fully embraced Halloween at this point, delivering treats and costumed characters to their players. Pikmin Bloom might be sans spooky, but that certainly isn’t the case for Dragalia Lost, which has just begun its latest facility event: The Clockwork Heart. As…
Squid Kids are fully of surprises and style, so what better holiday to prop up as their own than Halloween? Multiple Splatfests have turned this carnival of candy and costumes into the much more fitting (and messy) celebration that is Splatoween, and though the game isn’t out yet it’s all…
Announced previously, Monster Hunter Rise has now welcomed its latest Capcom Collab Event Quest. Up for grabs for those able to steel themselves for whatever lies ahead is a layered armor for their hunter. Not just any armor, though, but the unmistakable suit belonging to Sir Arthur of Ghosts ‘n…
Ah, Mario Party, a game that has the power to tear friendships apart like a rotating analog stick on a bare palm. You wouldn’t know that from the launch trailer for Mario Party Superstars, which leans into the fun and games of the series’ N64 heyday. You can…
Banjo-Kazooie is beloved for many reasons, but for my massive sack of 900 Notes I’d wager that one of the best is its soundtrack.
