Catch up on everything you need to know in the following overview:

Atari 50 Namco Legendary Pack DLC

More support is happening for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, and today, brand new Namco Legendary Pack DLC was revealed.

The DLC tells the story of the early partnership between Atari and Namco. It will contain the best-selling Pac-Man for Atari 2600, along with a collection of titles from the Atari 2600, Atari 5200 and Atari 7800, including Galaga, Dig Dug, Xevious, and Galaxian.

Pokemon Presents July 2025

May 28:A new Pokemon Presents is taking place on July 22, 2025, it’s just been announced. Information about specific timing of the presentation will follow later.

The Pokemon Company did not say what will be included in the Pokemon Presents event. However, expect Pokemon Legends: Z-A to be a big focus – the game just received an October release date. We’ll also likely get updates about ongoing titles such as Pokemon Unite and Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket.

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending July 19, 2025 is now available.

The biggest new release was Donkey Kong Bananza, which managed to come out on top in its first week. That’s a good start, but we have more insight and a couple of comparisons.

July 2025 Nintendo Direct predictions

Today, we’re going over some potential announcements we could see in a July 2025 Nintendo Direct.

You know the drill by now – it’s that time of the year again. To some extent, Nintendo Direct rumors are always swirling about in one form or another. If we reported on every single “there’s a Direct this week” rumor that comes up, we’d probably be posting multiple times per month. In fact, generally speaking, the only time we report on Nintendo Direct rumors is when NateTheHate (who correctly predicted the Switch 2’s reveal date) mentions that one is coming soon.

If you haven’t heard already, there’s supposedly a Nintendo Direct in development for later this month. The most likely days for this presentation would be July 23, July 24, July 30, or July 31 – but at the time of writing, we don’t know which one it is yet or if the Direct is happening at all. Either way, we’re due for one soon.
