Detective Pikachu Returns Bolt Brilliance

As part of today’s Pokemon Presents presentation, a new trailer has dropped for Detective Pikachu Returns. This follows the previous Nintendo Direct reveal and upcoming launch later in the year.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Raid

Original (8/7): Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are set to receive a new Mewtwo Tera Raid Battle event, according to a Thai Japanese Nintendo newsletter. Details are likely to follow during tomorrow’s Pokemon Presents.

Pokemon Trading Card Game Pokemon Stadium 2 Switch Online

Pokemon Trading Card Game and Pokemon Stadium 2 are landing on Nintendo Switch Online today. The news was just announced during the latest Pokemon Presents presentation moments ago.

Remember that Game Boy games are accessible to all Nintendo Switch Online members. A membership to the Expansion Pack tier is not needed. However, you will indeed need that Expansion Pack subscription in order to access Pokemon Stadium 2.

Pokemon GO Paldaea

Paldea Pokemon are on the way to Pokemon GO, it’s been announced. Niantic dropped the news during today’s Pokemon Presents event.

Players can look forward to the new Pokemon starting in September. Outside of the initial announcement, we don’t have much else to go on. A teaser was shown during today’s Pokemon Presents, but that’s all. Stay tuned for further details.

Virche Evermore: ErroR:salvation release date

Virche Evermore: ErroR:salvation has secured a release date in the west. Aksys Games will publish the title on November 9, 2023, the company announced today.

All first run copies of the game will include an exclusive set of seven full-color character cards.

Smash Bros Wii U 3DS development

Masahiro Sakurai uploaded his latest video on YouTube a short while ago, and this time around, we get to hear about the making of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.

Late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata asked Sakurai to handle development, and he was certainly up to the task of developing two versions at the same time. Smash hadn’t been released on a portable system previously which would be unique, but its power would put a bit of a limit on the game. Meanwhile, Wii U’s power and HD output would be the main appeal. Thankfully, some of the work was made easier since the two versions could share mechanics, animation, and game balance.
