Life is Strange: Double Exposure

June 9: Life is Strange: Double Exposure has just been revealed, and it’s been confirmed that the game is coming to Switch. The title initially launches on October 29, but it’ll be appearing on Nintendo’s console at a later date.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the first entry in the series since True Colors. Max Caulfield, the star of the franchise’s first game, is back with a new story.

Square Enix is starting off the week with a new Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake overview trailer. Fans can get a look at what the RPG has to offer, the updated graphical style, and more.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake continues to dominate, and otherwise things are mostly status quo.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Raid Amarouge, Ceruledge, Stonjourner, Eiscu

There’s a new Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on the way, and rather than one or two Pokemon, it’ll feature four – specifically Amarouge, Ceruledge, Stonjourner, and Eiscu.

Each of them will be appearing in 5 Star Raids. No matter if you have Scarlet or Violet, you’ll be able to encounter the full set.

If you were paying attention to Nintendo news just before Switch was announced, the image above with Mario might look familiar to you. The photo was shared alongside a message on social media telling fans to tune in the following day for a first look at the console. Mario is peeking behind a curtain, and it’s kind of become a meme with some even joking about how it looks like he’s in the shower.

Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, a pair of former employees at Nintendo of America, shared some behind-the-scenes information about the shot in a recent podcast episode. They confirmed that it was a new photo led by the company’s former head of social, and a photoshoot was done in large part because there weren’t any assets that could be used. Internally, it was “controversial” and Nintendo apparently wasn’t happy due to concerns about potentially mismanaging expectations.


Game Freak hack leak

Game Freak, the main developer of Pokemon, appears to have been hit with a significant hack. As a result, source code for various games, behind-the-scenes information, and more has started to leak online.

Thus far we know that source code for Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver and Black 2 / White 2 have surfaced. A few codenames are also popping up, including “Gaia” – which is apparently what Gen 10 is going by internally. Speaking of which, the new gen is apparently being developed for “Ounce”, which supposedly confirms Switch 2’s codename. And for those curious, “Ikkaku” is the codename for Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Last Time I Saw You trailer

Tying in with the release of Last Time I Saw You, we’ve got the game’s official launch trailer. Fans can get a final look at the coming-of-age adventure game, which provides a relaxing 2D exploration experience.
