In the modern day, Pokemon games are kind of tough to give a fair review to. As the world’s largest media franchise, the franchise is subject to a lot of scrutiny – which is understandable, given that both Scarlet and Violet and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl released in rather shoddy states. That being said, I don’t think it’s quite fair to write off the Pokemon series as a whole. Numerous leaks have indicated that Pokemon Legends: Z-A was actually supposed to launch in 2024, but that it was internally delayed to late 2025. That means the game most likely had around three years of development time, and assuming that’s true, it shows – Pokemon Legends: Z-A is up there with Pokemon Legends: Arceus as a real contender for the best Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch. It’s certainly not perfect – there are still classic Game Freak slip-ups here and there, but for the most part I think this is a much-needed step in the right direction for the franchise.
Original: Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Nintendo’s various franchises like Mario and The Legend of Zelda, has commented on why the company is now more focused on making movies.
Nintendo is taking films more seriously than it ever has before. The Super Mario Bros. Movie kicked things off a couple of years ago, and it’ll be getting a sequel in 2026 based on Super Mario Galaxy. Don’t forget that we’re also set to receive a live action movie for The Legend of Zelda in 2027.
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch games. These include Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and more.
