[Review] Steins;Gate Elite
Posted on 5 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 19, 2019
Developer: 5pb.
Publisher: Spike Chunsoft
In 2009 we were introduced to a work of science fiction that, to this day, holds great value and precedence in its prowess of storytelling and continues to be revered as one of the greatest visual novels ever produced: Steins;Gate. This was part of Chiyomaru’s Shikura’s Science Adventure series that was preceded by Chaos;Head. The Science Adventure series from 5pb. and Nitroplus spans quite a few games that are still developed to this day and all bring their own flare, charm, and narrative, with sequels more so being spiritual successors rather than follow-ups. With Switch’s first installment, Steins;Gate Elite, we have a beautiful and faithful rework of sorts that now has the chance to breathe new life again and be introduced to a whole new audience. It was something I thought wouldn’t entirely work at first since it uses most of the anime’s cutscenes to retell its original story (with a few exceptions), but what ended up ultimately happening was a rekindling of love for one of my favorite games and some of my favorite characters in the medium.

Pokemon GO “Team Medallion” item datamined – change teams, can be bought once per 365 days
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Pokemon GO appears to be preparing for a new item that will allow players to change teams. “Team Medallion” seems to be coming in the next update based on what has been datamined by Chrales, which lets players transfer to another team. You’ll need to pay for the item, but it can only be purchased from the shop once every 365 days.
Note that there is no confirmed pricing for Team Medallion at this time. Niantic will presumably have more to say about this very soon.
