Poco a Pokemon (Pokemon Pokopia) gives players a chance to kick back and unwind as a Ditto, where they can meet and greet various Pokemons and build their ideal habitat to their heart's content.

In the ruins of the world of Pokemon where everything has perished, even humans, there came a Ditto and Professor Tangrowth stepping out of the ruins and into the wilderness in their hopes to rebuild habitats for all Pokémon to live.

As you build your ideal Pokémon habitat, you will come across a cast of super-helpful Pokémon that will grant you new abilities to make your building life easy. For instance, Bulbasaur will grant you the power to plant gardens, watering abilities from Squirtle, the Cut move from Scyther, the Rock Smash ability from Hitmonchan, and the list goes on. Some abilities are useful if you're in the mood for collecting resources needed for crafting materials for building.

As you keep on building, more and more Pokémon will reside, while some require you to fulfill certain conditions. Imagine the fun you'll have with your favorite Pokémon inhabitants.

Throughout your building journey, you will stumble across a unique cast of Pokémon, some of whom are witnesses to this forgotten land, including a sad-looking Pikachu. These folks have their own stories to tell.

Being a town-building game, you can use an internet connection (Switch Online subscription required) to visit other players' towns. You can even invite up to three other players to showcase your creations. You can even make a Cloud Island to share with the world as well. Don't forget to bring your favorite Pokémon resident while visiting other players' cloud islands. Your friends can't wait to meet yours.

Now that you understand the basics, are you ready to build your own Pokémon habitat as a Ditto? This game is a great way to relax and unwind from sunrise to sunset. Build, build, build! Build even better! The life of a Ditto has never felt so... well, Ditto. Enjoy!

BIOHAZARD requiem

In celebration of the BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) series' 30th anniversary, the newest installment has arrived. All roads lead to where the nightmare began. This is BIOHAZARD requiem.

BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) requiem, unofficially known as BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) 9: requiem, is the ninth chapter of the megahit survival horror franchise. In this newest installment, FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft's investigation into the recent bizarre murder case ended with her being abducted and becoming an experiment for Victor Gideon's evil plans. As Grace struggles to survive through Gideon's hellhole, veteran US government agent Leon S. Kennedy is dispatched to rescue her. As their fates collide, all roads will lead to the scene of the disaster three decades ago: Raccoon City.

BIOHAZARD: Requiem is a game in the BIOHAZARD series that offers players a choice between first-person and third-person views. The segments featuring Grace Ashcroft primarily emphasize classic survival horror mechanics, focusing mainly on puzzle-solving. In contrast, Leon Kennedy's segments are action-oriented, providing players with an exciting survival horror experience. These gameplay mechanics are broadly similar to those found in Biohazard Revelations 2, released a few years ago.

A Requiem game wouldn’t be a true BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) experience without swarms of monsters impeding your progress. From the return of zombies to terrifying creatures eager to attack, players must stay vigilant. And let’s not forget the intense boss battles that add to the challenge.

From enduring Gideon's hellhole to returning to Raccoon City in search of the truth, "Requiem" serves as a fitting tribute to the BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) franchise. Fans have experienced fear since the first game launched in 1996, and with the latest installment, three decades of Capcom's iconic survival horror franchise have culminated in this moment. 

This is the most frightening way to celebrate three decades of the BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) series. Ready to head back to the roots of all evil?

Pokemon LEGENDS: Z-A

Return to Lumiose City in the newest Pokémon LEGENDS adventure, where Mega Evolution makes a comeback. Go Mega before it's too late!

Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, the newest Pokémon LEGENDS adventure for the outgoing Nintendo Switch and the all-new Nintendo Switch 2, welcomes Pokémon fanatics back to Lumiose City, the heart of the Kalos Region from 2013's Pokémon XY games.

In this latest adventure, players can explore Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is in progress to transform the city into a utopia for both humans and Pokémon. As your journey through Lumiose City begins, you can choose which of the Z-A starters is your first: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile.

During your adventure in Lumiose City, you will encounter various incidents alongside new and memorable characters, including one you may recognize. First, let's explore the concept of Wild Zones. Wild Zones are part of the Lumiose redevelopment plan, overseen by a conglomerate called Quasartico Inc., designed to promote coexistence between humans and Pokémon.

Like the previous LEGENDS game, LEGENDS Arceus, catching a Pokémon takes finesse and stealth. You can either sneak up on them to catch them by surprise or, when things get rough, engage in a Pokémon battle. Hope you got enough Poké Balls for this.

Some areas are not accessible, and the only way to do so is by taking on the Z-A League. When night falls, an underground tournament called the Z-A League kicks in. You start at Rank Z and your goal is to battle the city's most powerful trainers and, in due course, reach the prestigious Rank A. As your rank progresses, you'll be able to access new areas, and the maximum level for Pokémons to obey you will improve.

LEGENDS: Z-A introduces a series-first real-time battle system, where trainers and their Pokémon can move freely during a fight. In addition to considering type matchups, players will need to pay attention to new gameplay mechanics, such as the exact timing required to switch Pokémon or execute moves. Additionally, moves will have varying reach, areas of effect, and time delays before they take effect.

The XXL-sized Alpha Pokémon can be quite daunting if you're not prepared. However, what's even more challenging than facing an Alpha Pokémon is encountering a Pokémon with Rogue Mega Evolution. As part of your assignment with Team MZ, you will take on these Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon. If you successfully defeat them, you will be rewarded with Mega Stones. It's a tough job, but the rewards are worth the effort.

In addition to popular Mega-Evolved favorites, LEGENDS: Z-A features exciting new Mega Evolutions for beloved Pokémon, including Mega Dragonite, Mega Malamar, Mega Victreebel, and Mega Hawlucha. It's worth noting that the final evolution stages of the Z-A starters also have Mega Evolutions, but how they achieve this is a mystery you'll need to uncover by playing the game. As with past titles, you will require Mega Stones to initiate Mega Evolution. You can obtain these stones by trading Mega Shards or purchasing them at locations like the Stone Emporium. Some stones can also be earned as prizes from ranked online battles (requires online subscription).

Starting in 2026, this game will be compatible with Pokémon HOME. This means you'll be able to transfer Pokémon from the Pokémon GO app and previous games to complete the Z-A Pokédex. Additionally, a new DLC expansion is set to launch next year, featuring the mythical Pokémon Hoopa and two brand-new Mega Evolutions for Raichu. Don't miss out on these exciting updates!

The Mega Evolution comeback, evolved battle system, new cast of characters, and new ways to enjoy your favorite Pokémons, Pokémon LEGENDS: Z-A is no doubt the must-play of the season. 

Ready to return to Lumiouse City for this Mega-Evolved Pokémon LEGENDS escapade? Good luck!

Nintendo Switch 2

Launched in 2017, the Nintendo Switch quickly became one of the best-selling consoles in history due to its versatility, allowing players to enjoy games both at home on a TV screen and on the go. It became an essential device for Nintendo fans. Now, after eight years, a worthy successor has arrived, promising to function just like the original Switch but with improved features.

It's called the Nintendo Switch 2. Starting at 49,980 Japanese Yen plus additional costs, Nintendo insists that this is the worthy successor to the original Nintendo Switch, which promises to carry on the predecessor's flexibility but with new and exciting ways to get hooked.

How much has the Switch 2 changed compared to the original Switch? Although the thickness of the device is the same as before, the display is now larger at 7.9 inches, and thanks to improved graphics, playing games has never felt so alive as before, especially when you play it on your 4K TV via its dedicated dock.

The rear stand now occupies the entire console, and it features a free-stop system, allowing users to freely tilt it to an angle that is just right to see while playing.

The Switch 2 introduces a new Joy-Con 2 controller that can be easily attached with a magnet. The strong magnetic force keeps it firmly attached without wobbling, meaning it cannot be removed by even a tiny force, but you can easily detach it with one hand by pressing the button on the back.

In addition, the Joy-Con 2 controllers work like a mouse pointer, meaning you can do stuff that requires precise aiming, so you can enjoy games in a different style of play than before.

The Nintendo Switch 2 allows players to interact with others while playing online (requires subscription) courtesy of its built-in microphone and the new C button on the Joy-Con 2. With the available USB camera (sold separately), you can engage in webchat with other players. 

Before you ask, no, you can't livestream your gameplay on the Switch 2, just like with the original Nintendo Switch. This means you won't be able to broadcast your gameplay for longplay purposes. Instead, you can only take snapshots and record 30-second clips, which you can save to its 256GB internal memory or to compatible microSD EX memory cards, which are different from standard microSD cards.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with nearly all existing Nintendo Switch games, as well as new titles made exclusively for it. Some of these new games include "Mario Kart World," "Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour," and Konami's idol-raising game titled "Shine Post: Be Your Idol!", among others. Additionally, certain Nintendo Switch games, such as "Super Mario Party Jamboree," "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," and "Pokémon Scarlet/Violet," have received upgrades to take advantage of the Switch 2's enhanced capabilities. That said, a Switch 2 game card can be differentiated from the Switch game card by the color of its cartridge, as Switch 2 game cards are colored red.

Best of all, you can transfer most of your data from your Switch to your Switch 2 console. Games and content you've bought digitally can be loaded via a Virtual Game Card. You can continue to use your current Nintendo Switch Online subscription, can still use Nintendo Parental Controls Switch, and can still use your existing controllers.

And there you have it. The Nintendo Switch 2 is by no means one of the must-haves of 2025 in the midst of the new normal. It carries the same flexibility as its predecessor, with new and exciting ways to get hooked for more. Nintendo must be serious, stating that they've bet on the company's future with the arrival of the Switch 2, and with such sales, rest assured that the Switch 2 is another one of Nintendo's success stories. It is a worthy successor to the original Switch, and the whole world is hunting for it.

Time to make the Switch to the new Nintendo Switch 2.
