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…
Initially announced on January 31st, 2020, Niantic announced it would begin testing new types of events during February 2020 – Pokémon Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour.

It’s time to strum those guitar strings to the beat of the Pokémon theme song, as a whole bunch of musical themed goods are making their way to Japan Pokémon Center stores in a couple of weeks. That’s right: Pikachu, Zeraora, and other familiar ‘mon are hitting the stage in…
In just over a month, we’ll be back to rolling with Aiai and the rest of Super Monkey Ball’s cast, and it looks like they’re bringing one more friend along. According to the game’s XBox achievement list, specifically the Way Past Cool achievement, Sonic the Hedgehog could be rolling his…
There are a lot of reasons to like the Nintendo Switch Lite, and one of those is just how well it pops aesthetically. While we’ve known of some accessories to come that’ll suit its smaller size, 8BitDo is upping their game by matching the look of the Lite instead. …
Shantae and the Seven Sirens is here! At least… on Apple’s new streaming games platform, Apple Arcade, in an episodic format. However, the game’s still headed to Nintendo Switch systems later this year, and we’ve managed to capture at least 45 minutes of footage from the Apple Arcade version of the game…
When Dragalia Lost was announced, I, like many other Nintendo fans, was skeptical that it would see any modicum of success. It was a brand new IP under Nintendo’s umbrella, and in the mobile market. Say what you will about Nintendo’s other mobile games up to that point, but at…

The long-awaited port of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition has launched on Nintendo Switch! The game is a massive, meaty beast, and as such, may require more than a little help to get through. To assist you on your quest throughout Erdrea, we’ve…
We all joke about where certain games will be ported next — you can play a version of Skyrim on your Amazon Echo, for chrissakes — but even then there are some oddball matchups. Case in point: you can now play the first level of Studio MDHR’s masterful old-timey platformer…
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch is a massive JRPG, and it can be rigidly traditional in its systems and menus. Even though the game ends up being pretty user-friendly once you’re used to it, it can take some time to…
