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. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
In 2020 I would have called Hades the rare kind of game that so successfully interweaves its gameplay, narrative, art direction, and voice acting (among other things) that it’d be impossible to single out any one as its strongest element. That’s not to say my opinion on those qualities has…
Water-types may be the most common of all Pokémon, but that just means that when they stand out they really stand out. To prove it, you need look no further than these three sea-stars, taking the stage for an Oceanic Operetta with a supporting lineup of underwater understudies. Front and…
We’ve put the first three minutes of the Link’s Awakening remake side-by-side with the Game Boy Color version. Have a look!
During E3 we learned about Limited Run Games’ planned partnership with LucasArts to bring plenty of classic Star Wars titles back into physical production.

Welcome back to the Wire Weekly, where I, Ben “*Kricketune cry*” Fruzzetti, run through the week’s assortment of Nintendo news with what could charitably be referred to as wit, sarcasm, and personality. So. Uh. What happened this week? Pictured: Video Game News. Okay, it wasn’t like nothing happened. Two pretty…
The final fight between Chaos and Order is nearly upon us, and Nintendo has just dropped a Splat Bomb of an announcement. While we knew all the Shifty Stations would be returning and a new one would be along for the ride, it looks like this last stage is getting…
At this point it’d take a lot to convince me that Pokémon Gold & Silver isn’t the best pair of games the series has ever hosted. Every generation has its charms, and while they aren’t exactly perfect, there’s no denying this duo’s excellence. That’s just driven further by these new…
