Pokemon Home

Pokemon Home has received a new update on iOS and Android devices. This update adds various accessibility options (such as the ability to search for Pokemon by language) as well as streamlining features.

For all the details, check out the full patch notes below:

The Mario Red & Blue Edition Switch system launches today, and retailers are now starting to accept orders. GameStop currently has it here.

We’ll keep you posted on other retailers as the console is made available. 


Square Enix has announced that Trails of Mana has sold over a million copies. This is counting worldwide sales for the systems PS4, PC, and Switch (both digitally and physically). 

This is a big accomplishment for the game that is a remake of the Japanese exclusive Seiken Densetsu 3 that launched in 1995 on the SNES. The game has been out for under a year, so there may be another sales update in the future.
