With the confirmation of special edition amiibos, that purchasing inclination will reach a whole different level. At Nintendo’s recent financial briefing, president Satoru Iwata revealed that the company’s approach to the figurines would be two-pronged....

In the wake of 4.0 This week the Switch got its 4.0 update, which added the power to take video clips. But naturally, there’s some caveats.

There are two options now Egg Moves have always been a hardcore optimization tactic in thePokemonseries. While Pokemon typically learn moves through leveling up or TMs, Egg Moves are a less obvious third route to get new moves. By carefully breeding two compatible Pokemon, the resulting Baby Pokemon can hatch from its egg knowing unique moves it would otherwise never learn.

Podtoid 444 The video game industry has no shortage of remasters and remakes to sell you. From Wii U games getting ported to Switch to whatever the hell THQ is doing with theSaints Rowfranchise, publishers will always find reason to try and get you to buy a game again. It can be a bit irksome — why work on these games instead of something new? — but there is something about the recent announcement ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2that’s able to escape that cynicism....
