Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates.

Talk about repressed memories coming back to me suddenly, but anyone who was a kid during the N64’s lifespan will likely remember the brash commercials Nintendo aired. One of the more obscure was for the 1998 classic Banjo-Kazooie. A brief 30-second ad had some men camping in the forest and…
While the Pokémon Trading Card Game may have a strong foothold in the world of physical card sales and tournaments, it doesn’t quite have the digital reach of games like Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra. The Pokémon Company is looking to change that with Pokémon TCG Live, which is currently…
The Sonic series’ music is beloved for a reason and here’s hoping Frontiers continues the tradition. Sega seems to have confidence, though, not only announcing a physical and digital release earlier this month but now partnering with Data Discs for a vinyl launch.

In our review we found it to be a fantastic adventure that builds upon its predecessor, and few things have been expanded quite like the music. Grant Kirkhope (Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie)…
We considered Tunic to be an incredibly fun if slightly frustrating adventure in our review but one thing that’s undeniable is the adorability of its little fox protagonist. Never one to let a cute indie go unappreciated, Fangamer has announced a Huggable Fox Plush based on the sword-wielding critter, made…
This past weekend, a tidal wave of events kicked off with Hellena Taylor calling on fans to boycott Bayonetta 3 after she alleged that she was offered only $4,000 to return to the role, an offer she turned down. At the core of the storm of Taylor’s emotional plea, replacement…
Litwick had its fun for Pokémon GO’s October 2022 Community Day this weekend. Now with it completed, there are just November 2022’s Community Day and Classic Community Day events before it’s time for the big December 2022 Community Day roundup event. While we’ve known that Dratini is the star of…
Persona 5 Royal comes to Nintendo Switch this week, and as with any other port under the sun it begs the question: how do the graphics hold up? While a textual descriptor can only do some justice, seeing is believing — which is why GameXplain has posted a direct comparison…
It’s the season of spooky stories, but not all scares are based in skeletons: some come from other tales rather… Grimm in nature. And Pokémon is here to pull you into a world of fae and fables with new merchandise themed around fairy tale aesthetics. Most of the products this…
As promised, the first part of Sonic Frontiers’ official prequel comic has arrived! Written by Ian Flynn, the long-time writer who is also penning the game itself, these first four pages see Sonic and Tails come to Amy’s aid in a battle against Eggman… Or is it? He’s sure spouting…
Back in the day, they only announced video games once a year in June (and then maybe held smaller quieter announcements intermittently). Now everybody’s got their own little stream to announce this and that directly to the masses in high fashion. Times have changed… anyway, there’s a Resident Evil Showcase…
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is celebrating the season of spooky in one of its favorite ways: a themed fortune cookie has been added to the game!
