Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion is focused on celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary (or, at least leading up to the big day, as the season shall end a month before the game’s actual anniversary). One of this season’s features is Daily Discoveries, where different events and/or perks will…
During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game. This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
Another Mega-Evolved Pokémon is joining Pokémon GO during the Season of Memories in Motions and it’s Falinks! Though, instead of this being a standard Mega Raid Day, Mega Falinks will debut in Super Mega Raids. These Raids are more difficult than Mega Raids and will require your own team of…
It took a long time for Sega and Atlus to bring Persona 5 to platforms beyond the PlayStation but that wait doesn’t appear to have dulled the excitement. In a recent tweet, Atlus has confirmed that the new release of Persona 5 Royal has sold over 1 million units since…
The other day, I was looking back through an opinion piece I wrote earlier this year, an evaluation of the Pokémon franchise shortly after the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. And while the article has already aged in general, one part in particular jumped out at me: It’s unlikely…
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have been out for a weekend, which means that lots of fans have begun their Paldean adventure — in fact, more than usual, at least in the UK. It turns out that the two entries have had the biggest launch of the year in the region,…
Even though celebrating Black Friday doesn’t make much sense in Europe, what with its connection to the US tradition of Thanksgiving, in recent years it’s become a tentpole event for sales in the region. Nintendo’s not about to let the opportunity slip them by, either, with the company’s European branch…
Kirby and the Forgotten Land has done well. Like, really, really well. Since releasing at the end of March this year, the title has gone on to sell 5.27 million units — which is a decent chunk better than Kirby Star Allies’ 3.98 million copies. In fact, it’s a decent…
You know, everybody always talks about how as soon as Halloween ends they roll out the Christmas (or broader “holiday”) decorations immediately instead of, like, just chilling in November and getting people amped up for Thanksgiving. And there are multiple reasons for that — Christmas is a global holiday while…
In less than two years, Capcom’s latest entry in the flagship series has made an impressive mark on the company’s portfolio. New all-time sales numbers (as of September 30th, 2022) show that Rise has passed 11.2 million copies sold, making it Capcom’s third best-selling game of all time. …
There’s a lot of… junk on the Nintendo eShop. I hesitate to call it that because all games require at least a little bit of effort to get published (more effort than it takes to complain about them on the internet at least), but there’s no doubt that there’s a…
PlatinumGames, longtime revered game developer, has lately been dipping its toes into game publishing with Sol Cresta and the Wonderful 101 Remastered. But the studio is always looking to have more control over its projects when it’s traditionally had to give up the IP rights of the games it works…
Ah, August. The season of football starts. I think. Do I look like someone who knows things about sports? I just watch Jon Bois videos and perennially wait for the Seattle Mariners to break my heart. Okay, hold on let me fact-check myself. …It turns out professional American football starts…
Splatoon 3 has managed to set multiple, impressive sales records in its launch weekend. The squid kids have outdone not just themselves, but every video game ever released in Japan. Per Nintendo themselves, Splatoon 3 sold 3.45 million copies in its first three days of availability in its home country….
