Switch Perspectives Mid-Exploration

Okay, I get it – you’re probably thinking, ‘Wait, we’re ripping zombie doctors apart with chainsaws in Requiem? That doesn’t sound very restrained!’ And you’re not wrong, it is pretty over the top. But honestly, while Leon’s definitely fun and chaotic, I think the developers are really showing what they can do with Grace. Her sections are all about being careful, figuring things out, and a slower pace – it’s a surprisingly big shift back to how the original Resident Evil games felt, and it’s really cool to see.

Okay, so the news started with a lot of praise for PlayStation Studios – seriously, games like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Ghost of Yōtei, Helldivers 2, and MLB The Show have been amazing and everyone loves them! But then it shifted to talk about how making games is getting super expensive, the industry isn’t growing as fast as it used to, and how players are behaving differently – all made worse by the tough economy right now.

This Pokémon Presents event also marks the release of Pokémon LeafGreen and FireRed on Nintendo Switch. These are updated versions of the classic Game Boy Advance games, and each will cost $19.99. Nintendo and Game Freak haven’t shared many details about the improvements, but the Nintendo eShop says you’ll be able to trade and battle Pokémon wirelessly through the Pokémon Wireless Club. Otherwise, the games will look and play much like the original versions.

As a huge fan, I’m blown away! This game has hit a major sales milestone even quicker than the others in the series, making it the fastest-selling game yet. It’s incredible to see how popular it’s become so quickly!

A major addition is cooperative play! Now you can team up with up to three friends to tackle the Spire, which has become even more challenging after being asleep for a thousand years. Working together allows for powerful combinations, and you’ll even find cards that are only available in multiplayer. You can choose from five characters, including two new ones to the game, and each character has their own special abilities and cards.

You might remember when Sony and RTS stepped in to save the esports event a few years back. More recently, Sony sold its ownership share to NODWIN Gaming, an Indian company, late last year.

Nintendo is taking a nostalgic approach, releasing games with the same language options as they did in the past. For example, in North America, you can only buy versions of the game in English, French, or Spanish – meaning each language is sold as a separate version, just like in the older days.

The Capcom fighting game looks really good, which means it takes a lot of work to add new content like stages and outfits.

The publisher recently reduced the Canadian studio’s staff by about 8%, impacting around 40 employees. However, development on the new Sam Fisher game will continue as planned, and the studio will still assist other teams with their projects.
