The Pokémon Company has surprised us all with the announcement that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will arrive on Switch and Switch 2 on 16th October 2025. The date was revealed in the following post on Twitter, with the studio reconfirming that the Switch…
It’s basically good in all possible ways. Back in 2015, which is apparently 10 years go now, the shooter genre was packed full of heavy-hitting, very serious, macho video games about firing bullets into people.

They’re called Orbs, and you can use them to buy cosmetics from Discord’s shop. I’ve pondered these Orbs myself and find them inoffensive, at least so far. At the outset, Orbs will…
Creator of the Sega SDK. GenesisFan64—a Mexican homebrew coder who worked across pretty much all of Sega’s consoles—has passed away, we’re sad to report. The news was broken on social media a few days ago and was spotted by @PigsyRetro, another Sega-focused homebrew developer who is currently hard at work porting Castlevania: Symphony of the…
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time sold over 500,000 copies in its first three days, even boasting thousands of “very positive” reviews on Steam.

“I still get people contacting me about them”. If you’re based in the UK and were alive when the original PlayStation launched, then you’ll almost certainly be aware of the various ‘Demo’ discs which were bundled with the system and given away with copies of the UK’s Official PlayStation Magazine. These discs were essential items…
