Pokemon GO is gearing up for a new holiday event. It’ll be accompanied by more frequent Ice-type Pokemon, bonuses, and more.
Here’s the full rundown:
The Game Awards 2018 started in a rather neat fashion. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime appeared on stage, as did Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shawn Layden and Xbox head Phil Spencer. They weren’t there to announce anything, but rather come together and deliver a brief speech. It’s not exactly something that happens a lot.
Reggie spoke about the moment with IGN after the show last week. Here’s what he had to say:
Many people had predictions as to what Nintendo would show at The Game Awards last week. Yet not many saw an exclusive new Marvel game for Switch coming – especially one developed by Team Ninja.
Nintendo did in fact announce Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and it’s coming only to Switch next year. After The Game Awards ended, IGN asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime how the three-way collaboration with Marvel and Team Ninja happened.
This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta are joined by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime to look back at the launch of Smash Bros. Ultimate. Check out the full episode below.
Stardew Valley developer ConcernedApe provided a big update on the future of Stardew Valley and more in a blog post today.
While ConcernedApe has been working on an entirely different project, it has now been put on hold. That’s because a 1.4 update is in the works that will add even more content to the game for free. After that, a team will be formed so that the game can continue to get even more content while ConcernedApe shifts back to the new game.
Here’s the full report from ConcernedApe:
The Switch version of Arena of Valor has surpassed one million downloads, Tencent has announced. The feat was accomplished this week.
Tencent says that the United States “is the largest contributing territory to the milestone, marking an undeniable success for the title in the west.”
Arena of Valor is the first console game Tencent has released. The free-to-play title launched on the eShop on September 25.
