Mega Evolutions are a hot topic at the moment thanks to Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and we’ve picked out 10 creatures that we feel deserve that form.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC is available now, and it introduced a whole bunch of new Mega Evolutions along with it. If we had to guess, that means we probably won’t be seeing any all-new Mega Evolutions for a very long time, which clearly means it’s as good a time as any to name a few Pokemon who could still one for themselves.

Pokemon like Mawile, Malamar, Delphox, and Diancie all really needed it – they weren’t very strong in their base forms. So for the sake of this list, we’re only picking weaker Pokemon. That means you won’t see any pseudo-legendary Pokemon like Kommo-o or Dragapult on this list – they’re already plenty strong. Do note that this list excludes all of the Pokemon who received new Mega Evolutions in Mega Dimension, so if you’re trying to remain unspoiled on who they are, a few noteworthy exclusions on this list may give you a small clue. Keep that in mind before you start reading!

The Game Awards 2025 happened this week, which acts as the last major gaming event of the year. While part of the show was indeed about awards, several announcements were made.

If you’re a Nintendo Switch 2 owner, there was actually a good bit of news here. We found out about Mega Man: Dual Override, Orbitals, Pragmata, Phasmophobia, and Out of Words. We also got new looks at Resident Evil Requiem and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.

Now that The Game Awards are over, what’d you think of the event? What was your favorite announcement? Let us know in the comments.

Even more Nintendo Switch backwards compatibility fixes went live for Switch 2 this week, including a couple of big names.

Resident Evil 4 and Miitopia are now fully functional, among others. With Miitopia, while it was playable, the game had some strange texture / graphical issues on Nintendo Switch 2 – those problems should now be addressed.

The latest lineup of games that have now been fixed is as follows:

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

To differing extents, every new Pokemon release is met with some level of scrutiny. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this scrutiny was completely understandable – the game launched in a buggy, laggy state, and it remains that way on standard Nintendo Switch consoles. Thankfully, Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s launch generally went over much smoother with hardcore Pokemon fans. While it isn’t perfect by any means (check out my review for more info), it’s a solid entry that will no doubt please anyone who enjoyed Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has received its corresponding DLC pack just two months after launch. And it’s very easy to sum up: if you liked Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s base game, you’ll like the DLC. If you didn’t care much for the base game, Mega Dimension won’t win you over.
