Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet). While similar, the big difference this time around is the Terastal phenomenon, where Pokémon’s type can change to one of the 18 different types available in-game. Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…

It’s been almost two years since the Pokémon main series saw any new content, and fans are more eager than ever for something new to arrive. With the latest entry in the series, Pokémon Legends: Z-A just a few months away, the wait won’t have to be much longer. To…
As the video game industry is relatively young, there are thankfully few true, deep losses with respect to figures. But four years ago a prolific programmer, president, and gamer passed — and while the remnants of his vision continue on for now, the absence of Satoru Iwata can still be…

It’s looking more and more likely that a new Super Monkey Ball game is rolling over the horizon. After a Japanese trademark was found back in May for Tabegoro! Super Monkey Ball (the first word roughly translating to “ripe” in the context of food), we’ve got a new age rating…
A Nintendo Switch Lite system was announced this morning — a smaller, lighter, portable-only version of Nintendo’s flagship hybrid console. It’s easy to tell the difference between the two consoles in terms of size, but what about speed, the display quality, and other specs and features? Thanks to…
For the past year, the Trine series has been making its way to the Nintendo Switch, to eventually culminate with the launch of Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince this fall. If you’d rather get all the games at once, though, this latest announcement is for you. The Trine: Ultimate Collection…
Nintendo just dropped the bombshell that has been a long time coming – the Nintendo Switch is getting a smaller model, and they’re bringing back the “Lite” moniker.

Dr. Mario World hasn’t even been released for 24 hours, and dataminers have already cracked open the lid to find a whole hospital’s worth of physicians who will soon be added. While the game started off with a relatively lean roster of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Bowser…
