Nintendo has just announced that Pilotwings 64, which was originally launched alongside the Nintendo 64 back in 1996, will soon be arriving on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service. The trailer announcing that the game is coming to the service features a seductive voiceover narrative accompanied by smooth jazz music. Not exactly what you’d expect from a Nintendo 64 flight simulation game, but it’s pretty convincing. In Pilotwings 64, you pilot airborne vehicles while taking on various challenges and missions....

This streaming service is now diving into the world of esports by releasing the latest trailer of Players, a show focused on the story of Fugitive Gaming. This group has been known as the “Bad Boys of Gaming” and has participated in tournaments for League of Legends....

Team Rocket is one of the most nostalgia-inspiring features of the original Pokemon games and anime. Their famous motto is already stuck in your head just thinking about the big red “R” on their uniforms. But, Pokemon’s most popular team needs to be talked about just a tad bit more. They debuted in the very first games, the beginning of the Pokemon anime, and pretty early in the card game too....

The start of my journey with Pokémon is a humble one, furiously yelling at my parents when they called the series “Pokéman” to annoy me. We close out National Pokémon Day with my story for my love of the franchise that has impacted my life in so many incredible ways. The Early (Anime) Days The earliest memories that I have with the franchise are with the anime. Anytime the show was on, I was seated at the foot of the TV watching every single move that Ash, Misty, and Brock made....

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s lovable if slightly alarming Ball Guy is coming to Pokémon Go, in celebration of its next event. You’ll be able to dress up with your own Ball Guy costume as part of the game’s Go Tour Poké Ball Prep Rally, which begins this Friday 18th February at 10am local time. The event is designed as one last marketing push for the impending Pokémon Go Tour: Johto, the ticketed global bonanza set for the Saturday after....

Pokémon Home just launched a day ago, but users are already reporting a whole host of technical problems. As an app that is meant to house all of trainers’ Pokémon across several different games, people are beginning to worry that their collections aren’t safe. Making matters worse is the fact that there appear to be multiple glitches causing all the chaos. One issue is that the autofill password option doesn’t seem to be working properly, preventing trainers from linking their Nintendo and Pokémon Home accounts....

The Pokémon series may have inspired more creepypasta than any other video game franchise, and Game Freak has often helped to fuel the spooky desires of the fanbase. However, Pokémon Sword & Shield failed in telling an effective ghost story, due to the fact that it quickly resolved its own mystery. The Pokémon series has had a lot of content that fans find unsettling, dating all the way back to Lavender Town and its frightening theme....

The latest Pokémon that will be appearing in Pokémon Sword & Shield has been teased under mysterious circumstances. The official website for Pokémon Sword & Shield has a glitched-out page for a Pokémon that has had a lot of its information redacted. The mystery Pokémon is almost certainly an evolution of Farfetch’d, which fans have been referring to as Sirfetch’d. The reason why fans suspect that the new Pokémon is a Farfetch’d evolution is due to a leak on 4chan that gave out lots of accurate information about Pokémon Sword & Shield before it was officially revealed, including information about Dynamaxing and Galarian forms....

Pokemon GO’s latest update is slowly rolling out to the Google Play store and although it is not available to the majority of users at this point, there is still the APK code to teardown and start inspecting while recovering from the exciting Valentine’s Day events.

The region we’ll be traveling in is known as the Paldea region, which has abundant nature and rich culture. The game is entirely open world, and we’ll be able to ride on legendary Pokemon Koraidon (in Scarlet) or Miraidon (in Violet) across the region like a motorcycle, boat, or plane....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has quickly become one of the more popular recent releases from Nintendo even after the innumerable bugs that plagued its launch. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that all is well with the players of Paldea. The Scarlet and Violet community is now having trouble with an integral feature of the game – it’s box management system. This troubling element in the franchise’s latest installment is further evidenced through a Reddit post from an irritated player....

The wonderful Powerwash Simulator launches on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on 30th January 2023, Sony has announced. The announcement was made as part of a PlayStation blog post rounding up a raft of indie games coming to the consoles. We’re big fans of FuturLab’s Powerwash Simulator here at Eurogamer, and have written about it extensively. You clean dirt off stuff, essentially. It’s satisfying, therapeutic and weirdly tricky at times. You can even go prone like an MLG powerwash pro to get right under those hard to reach bits....

The company’s flagship telly box moved nine million units in the three-month period ended December 31, though sales were down some 700,000 year-on-year.

The latest PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds patch added new anti-cheat measures but it’s not worked quite as PUBG planned. Today PUBG decided to roll back the live server to rectify the problems encountered by players including large performance hits and crashes. PUBG had said that even though players were experiencing problems they would not be “removing our recent patch in order to keep blocking cheats effectively”.

Quentin Tarantino has been claiming since at least the release of Django Unchained that he was going to retire from directing movies with his 10th film. That plan hasn’t really changed, even as we now stand on the precipice of it with the release of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (his ninth movie… if you count both volumes of Kill Bill as a single film). In fact, whatever that film might be is starting to take vague tonal shape in the filmmaker’s head, as he revealed Wednesday that he thinks his last movie will be the equivalent of an epilogue to his career....
