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…
It’s hard to believe Guilty Gear Strive has been out for four years, but we’re nearing the end of the fourth season already. Lucy, a crossover character from the anime Cyberpunk Edgerunners, will be the final DLC character for now with Arc System Works not announcing a fifth season yet….
During EVO 2025 last night, Capcom debuted a new teaser trailer for Street Fighter 6’s next DLC character, C. Viper. Hailing from Street Fighter IV more than a decade ago, she became a fan favorite due to her more westernized design, but hasn’t really been seen since. Since Capcom has…
When thinking about Pokémon, the first thing that comes to mind for many is good childhood fun. From the days of being on the playground playing with friends, trading cards, and sharing rare finds, it’s hard to match that feeling. What better way to recapture that than with a collaboration…
Despite having just launched the Switch 2, Nintendo news is pretty dry at the moment. With the summer almost upon us, it seems Nintendo is letting its already massive library of Switch 1 titles do the heavy lifting while it prepares more next-generation experiences. That’s what makes this 16-second teaser…
In an interview posted by WCCFTech on Wild Hearts S, Koei Tecmo producer Takuto Edagawa stated that he believes the Nintendo Switch 2 is closer in power to the Xbox Series S than the PlayStation 4. While he didn’t elaborate on how or why he thinks that, having just developed…
Going into the release of Mario Kart World, a change that caught the attention of many was the absence of some modes from previous games. With only 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc available to start, it seemed as if Mirror and 200cc were just absent. That proved to not be entirely…
Nintendo Switch 2 has been criticized for a fair amount of things since its full reveal in early April, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo console in the United Kingdom. According to NielsenIQ, the Switch 2 outpaced the original switch by more than double, and beat…
Nintendo has confirmed that over its debut weekend, the Switch 2 moved 3.5 million units globally. That not only makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo hardware of all time, but the fastest-selling video game console ever. A press release from the company doesn’t really detail much of anything, but this achievement…
Among the long list of additions fans were hoping to see in the next Mario Kart game, one of the most common was certainly the addition of more costume options. While previous entries did feature some basic palette swaps for some characters, there hadn’t been that much customization potential otherwise….
Look, I have been playing Mario Party for a long time. Longer than nearly any other game series I keep up with. We all know the pain of stars being stolen or a poorly rolled dice block. Yet for some reason, even when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, its…
Splatoon Raiders was not the only thing Nintendo had up its sleeve this morning. Alongside the new spinoff game, Splatoon 3 will soon be getting a rather major update in the form of patch Version 10.0.0. While there is a metric ton of new stuff coming to the game, the…
On this random Tuesday morning, Nintendo has announced a brand-new Splatoon 3 spinoff titled “Splatoon Raiders” for the Switch 2. Many believed that the DJ trio “Deep Cut” would originally be the focus of a DLC campaign for Splatoon 3, but instead, it seems Nintendo felt Big Man was too…
There’s no shortage of Sonic the Hedgehog spinoffs in general. Ranging from exceptional (The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Battle) to regrettable (Sonic Shuffle, Knuckles’ Chaotix), that polarization extends pretty evenly to past racing games. Sega’s last attempt at that particular genre, Team Sonic Racing, left a lot to…
One of the most exciting aspects of Mario Kart World upon reveal was the wide array of more obscure playable characters included in the game. Known as NPC characters, this group largely consists of basic enemies and other niche characters who are distinguished from the rest of the cast by…
