The Pokemon Company recently suffered from an extremely in-depth leak that has revealed just about all of their plans for the next five years. It stands to reason either way, then, that the tenth generation of Pokemon is coming sooner rather than later. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had some good ideas, solid music, and great Pokemon designs, but it’s safe to say that a vast majority of the game could be improved for the next iteration.

Dynasty Warriors Origins review

System: Switch 2
Release date: January 22, 2026
Developer: Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo

As a franchise standing at about three decades, one could be forgiven for feeling that maybe the Dynasty Warriors series had gotten a little stale. With an addictive gameplay loop that can be satisfying on a basic level of dishing out lots of damage to hordes of enemies with powerful weapons to the deeper tactical side of managing a battlefield, it has been so popular that spin-offs following the same formula have been released with different franchise coats of paint. Persona, The Legend of Zelda, One Piece, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, and more have all gotten the Warriors treatment over the years, so chances are you have at least played one of Omega Force’s hack-and-slash titles. Criticism has been labeled at the last few Musou games for just sticking to the core formula without evolving or shaking it up. Some have argued there hasn’t been any strong innovation in the series since 2003’s Dynasty Warriors 4, and although that’s a statement I don’t agree with, I can understand the sentiment of burnout with the franchise and its many iterations. Now after a seven-year gap between Dynasty Warriors 9 and Origins, what has changed and what have the developers done to tackle the notion of the series needing a refresh?

Original: Another LEGO set is on the way for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this time depicting the final battle.

Bricktap shared images on what’s in store on Reddit today. The new set is apparently planned for March 1 at a price point of $130. Standing in at just over 1,000 pieces, there’ll be minifigures for Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf, Navi, brick-built Ganon, the Megaton Hammer, and recovery hearts. This depicts the very final battle in the game.

Below is a look at the packaging:

The Disney Afternoon Collection

The Disney Afternoon Collection appears to be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

New listings for the game have just appeared on the ESRB website. Interestingly, Atari appears to be publishing.

It took a bit of time, but Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl have finally been fixed on Nintendo Switch 2 when playing the games via backwards compatibility. The Nintendo eShop pages confirm that everything is good to go.

We previously heard that both titles were causing crashing issues. It wasn’t something happening every time, but it was a problem that was fairly widespread within the Pokemon community.
