The adventures of Kong have been expanded, for those who wish to partake.

The next Pokemon spinoff is bound for consoles and will definitely be unlike any that have come before it.

Pokemon Pokopia was revealed for Switch 2 today with simply a "2026" release window. Produced in collaboration with Koei Tecmo, the game involves controlling a Ditto that transformed into a human (complete with signature Ditto face) and learning techniques from Pokemon to turn a barren land into a lush environment.

Frankly, it's surprising the new double winner wasn't one step down the evolution ladder.

Even after our friend Malamar, Pokemon has found time to announce five new Mega Evolutions for next month's Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

The first three were shown as the three original Pokemon X and Y starter final evolutions - Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja - will get the Mega forms they didn't receive... Read more...

The groundhog saw their shadow, so that's five more years of Three Houses discourse.

Fire Emblem is going to drag Heroes to its 10th anniversary kicking and screaming.

The final announcement of today's Nintendo Direct was for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, launching in 2026 as a Switch 2 exclusive. Set around a divine monarch granting wishes, the game appears to be a standalone game though a brief scene with resident Three Houses deity Sothis appeared at the end.

If a marathon doesn't do it for you, maybe 480 stars will.

It's Super Mario's 40th anniversary, and the big N is throwing the plumber a huge party.

The main games releasing as a part of the celebrations will be Switch releases of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, sold together as a combo pack on October 2 and releasing separately digitally the same day. New... Read more...

But it's not just going to require a subscription.

Expansion Pack subscribers are about to risk their eyesight for a new Switch game library.

It was announced in today's Nintendo Direct that the Virtual Boy, Nintendo's ill-fated 1995 attempt at early VR, will be made available for Switch and Switch 2 owners subscribed to the Expansion Pack beginning... Read more...

Pokemon Legends: Z-A might have a Mega mind control problem.

Following a preview video last week, a video has been posted confirming that Malamar will receive a Mega evolution in Legends: Z-A. The Mega Eovlution apparently unlocks additional hypnotic powers.

The new Mega makes Malamar slimmer... Read more...

Been a while since we had one of these on a Friday.

Nintendo is ready to bring us news Directly again.

A Nintendo Direct has appeared in the Nintendo Today app that will air on Friday (September 12) at 9 a.m. ET, 6 a.m. PT, 1300 UTC, and 10:30 in Newfoundland. The length and scope are currently unknown.

A Direct on a Friday is unusual for Nintendo, but the timing does put it to midnight on September 13 in Japan, which would be the exact 40th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros.

Somehow, Panzer Dragoon II Zwei Remake returned.

After last being mentioned way back in 2021, Forever Entertainment's Panzer Dragon II Zwei Remake has made a surprise return for this year's Tokyo Game Show. A playable demo will be available at the event. This will be the first time this remake has been playable. Alongside the announcement came a selection of new screenshots which are the first official look we've had at this remake. We also now have a price set at $24.99.

Surely it can't be worse than last week's doubleheader of Silksong and Shuten... wait, a $&@!ing BUBSY collection?

The pickings for this week appear, on the surface, to be supermodel slim (and only on the OG Switch). We have a late version of Xbox / PC adventure Call of the Sea (feat. Yuri Lowenthal), but apart from that... we have a Garfield Kart sequel and the Bubsy collection. And that's pretty much it unless... Read more...

Very on brand in both cases.

It's been a minute since we had a split update of NSO libraries between Japan and the rest of the world, but that's what awaits us in 24 hours.

For the west, the Mature N64 app will add the N64 version of first person shooter Forsaken (1998). Originally developed by Probe Entertainment with a port by Iguana UK, the rights to the game passed to Night Dive Studios (who remastered the game for PC in 2018).

Brought to you by the giant sucking sound.

First of all, as of press time there are no eShop pages for the only relevant game coming out this week for most people in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Team Cherry has dropped some of the prices and the hit time (10:00 a.m. ET, 11:30 in Newfoundland) but we still don't know the rest of the regions, is... Read more...
