Yesterday’s reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 told us that Nintendo has a new console on the horizon. That’s not meant to be a punchline, either: the reveal only told us that a new console is happening. There was a glimpse of a new Mario Kart and astute viewers can…
For the last few years, when rumors of a Switch successor would pop up, it was always labelled as the Switch 2. Nobody knew what it was actually going to be called, but Switch 2 was a quick shorthand for saying “Nintendo’s next console” or “the successor to the Nintendo…
After the surprise drop of a Switch 2 reveal teaser, the internet was set ablaze with the information that the Switch successor is actually real and is coming sometime this year. Since it would be incredibly silly to unveil the new console and not give any information, the teaser ended…
So here we are again with the third and almost certainly final Mario Party on Nintendo Switch. We’ve had something new that tried to be old, something old that tried to be new, and now we move on to the logical next step: why not both? Super Mario Party Jamboree’s…
It’s been a few months since Nintendo announced that Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp would be reaching its last breath after an impressive seven-year run. While Nintendo assured fans that the game would continue in an offline version, it offered few specifics about what that would look like. Fortunately, the company…
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. After testing and user feedback, Niantic combined both events into one and announced what Pokémon and bonuses would be featured in advance. Now,…
Halloween is almost here and in Pokémon GO, we’ve switched to the second part of this year’s Halloween event. For Part II, Costumed Froakie and Costumed Rowlet will be available to all Trainers (not just those who purchased the paid Timed Research quests). Plus, various Costumed Pokémon from previous Halloween…
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…
After having a month of tinkering with Max Battles and leveling up our Dynamax Pokémon, it’s time to challenge some Gigantamax Pokémon! Gigantamax Venusaur, Gigantamax Charizard, and Gigantamax Blastoise debut in Six-Star Max Battles and they’ll pose a challenge. Up to 40 Trainers can participate in these Max Battles! (For…
The nostalgia for Sonic is strong, it would seem. According to Sega, the recently released Sonic x Shadows Generations has sold one million units on launch day. While there isn’t a platform breakdown for which version did the best, the sentiment is clear: people really love the Blue Blur and…
It’s kind of hilarious that Nintendo believes people won’t share information about the ongoing NSO playtest. Having started just yesterday, October 23rd, 2024, and running for a whole week, there is no possible way that someone with access to the internet wasn’t going to share something about this application. Whenever…
Have you seen one of those incredible Pokémon vending machines out in the wild? They’re official Pokémon vending machines, complete with a giant Poké Ball at the top, and up until now I’ve only really seen them in shopping malls. However, you might get lucky and find one at your…
Update: As of this morning, the Nintendo Switch Online Playtest has officially begun. Just as quickly as testing started, loads of screenshots, videos, and impressions were uploaded—and promptly removed—from social media. While we can’t show them here, for those curious, they aren’t too difficult to find if you look around….
It feels like an eternity since Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 was real and would be announced no later than the end of the 2024 fiscal year. Many fans, myself included, assumed we’d have heard something by now, but unfortunately, we still know as little today as we did six…
As developers continue to innovate and gaming advances into a new era, it can often be easy to forget where a lot of the amazing things we have now first came from. For that reason, it’s a good idea to periodically look back at the greats of the past and…
