Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Following its announcement last October, it’s been confirmed that Tokyo Game Show 2022 will indeed have a physical presence when it takes place later this year. This new comes to us today from the event organizers, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association.

TGS 2022 was announced last year only a few weeks after TGS 2021. That event had also been a hybrid, with both physical events and online presentations taking place during the show. TGS 2022 seems to be more of the same, putting a greater emphasis on physical booths and exhibitions while maintaining a strong online presence.

Pokemon Presents wasn’t promoted due to “major world events”

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Pokemon Presents was announced this past Thursday, but in a bit of a low-key manner. While we heard about the presentation thanks to an official website in Japan, there was no prior notice in North America and Europe. However, there was a clear reason for this.

The Pokemon Company passed along a statement saying that the new Pokemon Presents “was unable to be postponed”. At the same time, it chose to “significantly reduce the promotion of the event” in light of “major world events happening at this time and those impacted.” While not stated explicitly, we can assume this is related to the Russian attack on Ukraine.

The full statement reads:
