A brand-new Kirby Café has finally opened in Osaka! Located in the Daimari Shinsaibashi Store in Osaka City, this now makes three permanent locations available in Japan. As with all other locations, the Osaka Café requires reservations, which can be hard to come by and often sell out quickly. You…
Splatoon 3 is finally here! With a new location, story, maps, additions, and more, one thing that isn’t set in stone is a fresh start. For Splatoon 2 players, all that hard work you put in with Turf Wars, Ranked Battles, League Battles, and more can be taken into consideration…
A new Splatoon game is here and that means we’re restarting with a smaller pool of maps for online multiplayer. The good news is that Nintendo will be issuing free updates for Splatoon 3 over the next two years, adding more and more maps for Turf War and Anarch Battles…
Community Day dates for Pokémon GO’s Season of Light were announced right before the game’s new season started.

The Tubbz collection of vinyl duck versions of popular characters is still going strong, naturally, and Sega has just announced the next two Sonic the Hedgehog characters to get transformed into quack-tastic collectibles. Both Shadow the Hedgehog and Amy Rose will be turning into Tubbz, with the former holding a…
It’s generally assumed that most game franchises in Nintendo’s wheelhouse follow chronologies that are vague or at least loose. There may be an order for Metroid games, but we don’t know specifically how far apart they all are. Kirby has countless adventures, but we don’t know how he’s aged (if…
