When looking back at JRPGs and their communities over the years, a concern that will come up time and time again is localization. Oftentimes, especially in the past, whether or not a new game would see release outside of Japan felt like a coinflip. Ys X: Nordics, the latest entry…
It’s been roughly 15 years since I last played Madden, about the same amount of time since I last played football in real life, actually. I played football for a big chunk of my youth, and even declined an opportunity to play junior college football to focus on my grades….
In a new interview posted by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier today, the noted industry pundit had a chance to talk with Team Cherry ahead of the announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release date. As many have been wondering for the better part of a decade, why did Silksong take seven years…
Rumor, speculation ahead. (Sorry in advance.) I get it, okay. I’m as sick of this circus as you are. We all know how it goes at this point. Some sort of datamine or insider info comes out — in this case, a Nvidia leak for “nvn2” which seems to be…
Out of nowhere, Nintendo has revealed a significant update for the Nintendo Switch with a new “Missions and Rewards” system for Online members.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is only a few weeks old, but that’s not stopping Game Freak from releasing some fresh content in the form of a brand-new update called Daybreak. While Daybreak offers some new challenges in the form of battle challenges, the most notable change is the introduction of a…
The world’s first Digimon Con was held a couple days ago, a first-time worldwide stream for Digimon and Digimon news. In the course of the proceedings there was more than a little talk about Digimon Survive, the upcoming visual novel/strategy game. While they weren’t able to give a firm release…
The Persona 4 Arena sub-series was a tall order all around. Atlus and Arc System Works managed to make a pair of great 2D fighters, pseudo-sequels to the stories of Persona 3 and 4, and introductions to a few all-new characters that fit into existing lore. It’s the last of…
After being announced back in November, we have a confirmed release date for the love-letter to a certain Bandai Namco mascot – Pac-Man Museum+!

Shortly after their debut, we now have the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet starter names! This new trio of first partners only has a little bit of info at present, but their personalities are out in full force despite it. Let’s get to know them, shall we? Sprigatito – The…
Closing out today’s Pokémon Presents was a brief, live-action video that gave way to something much grander. Though it might’ve seemed the long expected Detective Pikachu sequel was getting a little love (there was even a cup of coffee!), instead we saw brief gameplay clips of an all-new Pokémon adventure….
Pokémon Day is finally here, and The Pokémon Company is once again marking the anniversary of Red & Green’s launch in Japan with a Pokémon Presents stream.
