Pokemon Sword Shield story

Today, we’re talking about Pokemon Sword and Shield’s story and how it can be improved using details that were included in the anime adaptation, but were for some reason not included in the games.

Ever since (and even before) its initial release in 2019, Pokemon Sword and Shield have been the subject of much controversy and criticism from fans. While most of this criticism revolved around the now (perhaps begrudgingly) somewhat-accepted removal of the National Dex, a good chunk of the criticism Pokemon Sword and Shield receives in the modern day revolves around its story. Mainly, the fact that it doesn’t make much sense.

Stages Missing From Splatoon 3

Though all three Splatoon games are rather similar in terms of graphics and gameplay, the first two entries in the series are home to several exclusive stages that haven’t made it back to Splatoon 3 (at least, not at the time of writing). Among fans of the game, Splatoon 3’s map design is often considered one of its greatest weaknesses – mainly, the stages’ lack of alternate routes to take. Splatoon 1 and 2’s exclusive stages generally have lots of alternate routes, so we aren’t sure what happened. Regardless, today we’re looking at a list of stages not in Splatoon 3 and which ones we might see in updates.

The Last Faith physical

The Last Faith ended up on the Switch eShop not too long ago, and retailers listings now confirm that a physical release is happening as well. It will be available on May 24, 2024.

Along with a standard copy, fans will have the opportunity to purchase the “Nycrux Edition”. The latter includes the game, collector’s box, softcover art book, original soundtrack CD, and fine art prints.

Inti Creates Gold Archive Collection

April 25: The Inti Creates Gold Archive Collection has been revealed, featuring Switch three games on a single cartridge. The package features Mighty Gunvolt, Mighty Gunvolt Burst, and PuzzMiX.

Mighty Gunvolt was not actually released on Switch previously – it last came to 3DS. Additionally, Mighty Gunvolt Burst comes with all DLC.

The latest Daily Demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has arrived, courtesy of Atlus. The focus of Volume 31 of the series is Vritra.

El Shaddai HD Remaster review

System: Switch
Release date: April 28, 2024
Developer: Crim
Publisher: Crim


The seventh generation of video games was an interesting time, and gave us an abundance of action titles, with many becoming critically-acclaimed, genre-defining hits. El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, released in 2011, never managed to make that kind of impact, although it did receive a particularly interesting continuation in The Lost Child six years later. Now thirteen years following its launch, the game has finally made its way to Switch in the form of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster, largely due to fan demand. While it may still be destined to remain overlooked in the face of its far more successful contemporaries, it remains the unique and unforgettable experience it was when it first debuted, both for better and for worse.
