However, today’s leaked Pokémon news comes directly from Pokémon GO developer Niantic. According to the leak, a…
Welcome to 2025, everyone! While we eagerly await Nintendo to announce anything about the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, it seems vendors at CES in Las Vegas didn’t get the memo that the console hasn’t officially been unveiled yet. Now, before we dive into the details, remember that the images and…

Objection! Twenty years already?! While the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game didn’t arrive in North America until 2005 (and for Europe, it was 2006), the video game series debuted back in 2001 in Japan and on the Game Boy Advance! That special 20th anniversary is fast approaching, so it’s…
When AiAi and the gang rolled onto the GameCube twenty years ago, I had to fortune of receiving Super Monkey Ball right there at launch. Its blend of tight, precision based gameplay and more relaxed minigames made it a favorite for myself and many more, leading to what’s generally accepted…
