Pokemon has been an incredibly successful franchise since the beginning. Even after 20 years, the franchise is still going strong.
During a recent media event, Valve boss Gabe Newell actually spoke about Pokemon while discussing the company’s future plans. Here’s what Newell said about the IP’s longstanding success:
Splatoon 2 had a double dose of content updates tonight. Along with the Piranha Pit stage, the Sorella Brella weapon was also added. Footage of both can be found below.
It turns out not one, but two Splatfests will be held in Splatoon 2 next weekend. In addition to the North American competition, a separate event is planned for Europe.
What do you prefer: eating popcorn as salty or sweet? If you’re in Europe, you can make your voice heard by competing in the Splatfest. It’ll be held for a full day starting on April 7 at 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.
A new North American Splatfest will be held in Splatoon 2 next week. This one is all about sports, putting baseball up against soccer.
The Splatfest begins on April 6 at 9 PM PT / April 7 at 12 AM ET. Expect the event to last for a full day, with the results coming soon after.
Dragon Quest Illustrations 30th Anniversary Edition previously released in Japan. At Anime Boston today, VIZ Media announced that the book is seeing localization. It’s due out in the west in December.
