When watching the trailer for Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokémon Let's Go Eevee, I began to wonder about the decision to focus on Generation 1 Pokémon. Personally, I really like the idea of doing this, and cannot wait to relive Pokémon Yellow as I play this game with my eight year old kid, who's never experienced Generation 1! But what about subsequent generations? What about the people show grew up with Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Gold? I've had a crazy thought, and...it is crazy.

After the Pokémon presentation last night where Pokémon Quest was revealed, I quickly hopped onto the Nintendo eShop and downloaded the game right away and took it for a spin.

Oh no. And while Smash will get…

One of the highlights of my PAX East Experience was Bethesda Gameplay Day on April 7th. During this time, guests had the opportunity to play The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset, The Elder Scrolls: Legends – Houses of Morrowind, Quake Champions, and try Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus on the Nintendo Switch! Ironically, the event was not in the convention center, so people didn’t even need a PAX badge to attend what was essentially a gameplay party including food, drinks, and possibly even SWAG. Yes, I said it, there was EPIC swag! Heart hands, thanks Bethesda!

When playing through Hyrule Warriors over the weekend, I quickly realized something that I've probably known for a long time: Hyrule Warriors is a love letter to all the previous Zelda console titles, and really brings all those nostalgic feels back when playing in specific areas, using specific characters, and hearing specfici tunes. Although the game isn't what you might expect from a Zelda experience - don't let that deter you Zelda fans! - there is something really great here that long time console franchise fans will love!

The Donkey Kong DLC for Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is almost ready for everyone to enjoy, and gameplay video has begun popping up all over the internet. As we had mentioned earlier when posting about Abdallah's Developer Interview, Abdallah was flown to Ubisoft HQ in the Unied States and was able to capture gameplay of 5 levels from the new DLC.
