A Switch 1 swan song? February usually means a couple of things for us Nintendo fans: a disappointing Pokémon Presents showcase, and the first Nintendo Direct of the year (also, a Kirby game is normally right around the corner, but that’s not all that important to this discussion). Pokémon is a no-brainer, obviously, but in…
Do you have any of those games it feels like only you remember? For me, it’s Prisoner of War, a third-person stealth/adventure thing on the original Xbox that saw you play a captured WW2 pilot trying to break out of prisons like Stalag Luft and Colditz. It had some neat ideas for 2002: the prison…
Multiversus, the WB Games Smash Bros.-style brawler that was brave enough to explore what it would be like if Samurai Jack and LeBron James met on the field of battle, is approaching the end of its long, strange road. Earlier today, WB Games announced on X that the game’s fifth season, beginning next week on…
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launched on PC yesterday, the latest in the conveyor belt of PlayStation first-party games that now spend a year or two exclusively on console before coming to PC.

Worry not, though, because it doesn’t sound like it’ll be gone for very long. In a social media post from the…
“Keep calm when you’re happy, keep calm when you’re unhappy”. During the tenure of the late Hiroshi Yamauchi, Nintendo went from being a playing card manufacturer to one of the most recognisable companies in the world—yet, despite this amazing evolution, Yamauchi ensured that his firm never allowed its newfound fame to change the way it…

From the developer of ‘Hypnagogia’. A promising new platformer has just been released for PC, which might be worth checking out if you consider yourself a fan of Sega’s Super Monkey Ball or GarageGames’ Marble Blast series. Bubble Dreams 3D is the work of the low-poly artist and indie developer sodaraptor — whose previous credits…
Dream Eater. We’ve seen lots of life-sized Pokémon plushies over the years — Larvesta, Lucario, Arcanine, multiple starter ‘mons, and Spheal. So really, it was only a matter of time before Gardevoir joined the ranks, right? Brought to our attention by Joe Merrick (of Serebii) on Bluesky, The Pokémon Center Japan has revealed a life-sized…
