Joost van Dongen, the game’s director, said he’s always loved trains and management games, so creating a game about groundbreaking railway technology is a dream come true.

In Steam to Electric, players will be able to build these amazing creations as a tribute to their ingenuity.
On April 30, 1999, Nintendo released Pokémon Stadium for the Nintendo 64. The game allowed players to battle with the Pokémon originally found in the popular Red, Blue, and Yellow versions, but in a new 3D, turn-based format – a first for the series in the West. A similar game, Pocket Monsters Stadium, had been released in Japan a year earlier, but it wasn’t available outside of Japan. Given the huge popularity of Pokémon, it’s no surprise that Pokémon Stadium was a big success and remains one of the best-selling games for the N64. This was achieved despite receiving a respectable, but not outstanding, score of 78% on GameRankings.

Excitingly, Takashi Sorimachi, who recently played Onizuka, will be returning to the role, bringing a fresh take on this classic story.
James Gunn participated in a conversation on Threads about whether elements from the Suicide Squad movies and Blue Beetle could become part of the new DC Universe (DCU) timeline.

Gunn explained why that idea wouldn’t quite work.
