Pokemon Presents predictions for Pokemon Day 2026
Posted on 27 minutes ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At the time of writing, an official Pokemon Presents hasn’t been officially announced – but there’s no way it won’t be, right? The Pokemon Company has held a Pokemon Day broadcast every single year for as long as we can remember, and 2026 will be no exception. Be sure to clear your calendar, because the presentation is generally held at around 9 AM EST on February 27 each year. Each broadcast follows a similar format, which makes predicting them fairly straightforward. This year, we fully expect the tenth generation of Pokemon to be revealed for Nintendo Switch 2 – it’s been four years since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and it seems Pokemon Legends: Z-A is done getting updates and new content now that the Mega Dimension DLC has released. So here are our (very safe) predictions and wishes for Pokemon Day, the Pokemon Presents, and the tenth generation of Pokemon. It’ll be interesting to see how much of this comes true!

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 day ago by Jeremy Rice in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: February 5, 2026
Developer: Square Enix / HexaDrive
Publisher: Square Enix
Dragon Quest 7 is a game with a reputation. A reputation for what, may you ask? A reputation for being one of the longest slogs not only in Dragon Quest history, but in the history of traditional JRPGs as a whole. As Square Enix continually looks into its long history for games that modernize and enhance for a modern audience, there are few title in their catalog more in need of a refresh than this one. So it was with much rejoicing that Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined was announced last year. The question we must ask ourselves, now that the game has finally arrived on store shelves, is can Square Enix do enough to turn this controversial entry in its longest-running series into yet another beloved remaster?

Square Enix explains why it used a new “doll-like art style” for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined
Posted on 1 day ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the bigger talking points surrounding Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined when it was first revealed was its graphics, which Square Enix has officially labeled as “doll-like art style”. Previously, the company seemed like it was going all-in on the HD-2D look. But now we’re getting something that we hadn’t really seen before, especially from Square Enix.
In an interview with Nintendo Everything, producer Takeshi Ichikawa spoke about the new art style for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. Ichikawa explained that the team wanted to come up with a look that would be appealing worldwide. Also, Square Enix was looking to “depict the depth and feel of Dragon Quest 7’s story more vividly”.
