10 Pokemon who need Mega Evolutions
Posted on 35 minutes ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
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!

In a recent interview with Nintendo Everything, Aspyr explained how it approached the recently-released Nintendo Switch 2 version of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.
There’s been a lot of talk about the port since the launch last month. Especially given that there’s also a version for the original Nintendo Switch, some have speculated that the Switch 2 version is based on that one. We asked product manager Jordon Reese about this to clarify the situation.
Reese said in our interview:

List of all Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release
Posted on 12 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.

The Buster Sword is one of the most iconic weapons in video game history, but in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Square Enix was considering a different direction.
Co-director Naoki Hamaguchi shared the news in a recent interview. It was explained that with Cloud swinging the sword around with one hand, it “sort of felt like it would weaken the sense of realism”. However, Square Enix ultimately believed that fans “wouldn’t accept”
