Thankfully, Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about these shorts, and a new one is now available on YouTube. While there are no English captions at the moment, it’s not hard to figure out what is going on here….
In honor of the impending release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A this month, the Pokémon Center Online will be selling life-sized plushes of the latest Legends’ games three starter Pokémon in just a few weeks. For those out of the loop, that includes Tepig, Totodile, and Chicorita. You can soon bring…

It’s been 24 years since Seiken Densetsu 3, the critically acclaimed sequel to Secret of Mana, graced Super Famicom systems. Since then, fan cries for a western localization have fallen on deaf ears… until now! That’s right, my fellow Mana maniacs: Seiken Densetsu 3 is coming to Nintendo Switch as…
