In a surprising bit of news for fans of Nintendo’s Wii console, the legendary Homebrew Channel has ceased development, and its GitHub repository has been removed, effectively shutting down the piece of software. No one is certain when this occurred, but a user on Twitter posted a letter from the…
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…
Community Day dates for Pokémon GO’s Season of Light were announced right before the game’s new season started.

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…
Here’s an interesting tidbit — Nintendo Switch games are the best-selling physical media in the United Kingdom. That’s right, more than vinyls, or CDs, or even PlayStation or Xbox discs (which count both the last generation and the current one) — Switch carts are more profitable than all of them….
Splatoon 3 is almost here! Today’s batch of news includes a snippet from a brand new single by Damp Socks ft. Off the Hook (a.k.a. Splatoon 2’s pop-rap idol team of Pearl and Marina). We first heard about their new musical adventure back in June along with their first single…
