What you see is what you catch.

Pokémon Sword and Shield will replace random encounters with overworld models and randomized hiding spots, as shown in the new trailer from today’s Direct.

Creatures still hide in tall grass but alert players with an exclamation point. Other Pokémon roam the land and may charge or run away from the player once spotted. At one point in the trailer, the player coaxes a Stufful out from its hiding spot with a whistle.

Still no word on if the Honedge family will be in the game. Come on, y'all.

We have new details - including a release date - for Pokémon Sword and Shield.

The June lineup of NES games for Switch Online will hit the road, a ball, and a lot of thugs.

June's additions, due on the 12th, will be Volleyball (Nintendo), City Connection (Jaleco), and Double Dragon II: The Revenge (Technos/Arc System Works). Both Double Dragon II and City Connection have releases as part of the Arcade Archives.

As in "ten copies were ever sold before a lawsuit slapped them down" rare.

The remainder of the lineup for the Genesis Mini has been revealed, and it's a bit bigger than originally advertised.

Following a previous announcement of Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Street Fighter II Special Championship Edition, and Phantasy Star IV among others a couple of weeks ago, Sega announced 12 more games for the mini console today to bring the total game lineup to 42 games.

There's a whole lot of Hollywood in the news this week.

So you got stuck in a movie theatre, hence the late arrival?

Yep, and it's the week's big release. The review for Persona Q2: Shadow of the Labyrinth - possibly the last 3DS retail game ever for this column - is the headliner for the downloads, but the Switch has a couple of bigguns too. Slay the Spire and Phantom Doctrine provide even more role playing and strategy for your perusal.
