Attendees are said to be given the chance to try out both Pokemon Sword and Shield at the event floor, buy Pokemon merchandise, and best of all - enjoy the company of Pikachu and Eevee mascots who are said to have a dance parade at 8 PM on Friday. Is there going to be more of the Pikachu and Eevee dance parade performance after the 15th? No official word but we will update you once we get more details.

The Outer Worlds 2 Review – A Much-Improved Second Adventure

The Outer Worlds 2 isn’t Obsidian displaying any major advances in game design or unique innovations that would turn heads. This is a game of solid refinement from a studio that believes so deeply in the world they created in 2019. This resulted in a cohesive and entertaining RPG that could very well solidify as one of their best works today.

Donkey Kong Bananza Review - Beauty and the Banandium-Obsessed Beast

For Donkey Kong fans, Donkey Kong Bananza is an absolute dream come true. But at the end of the day, this is a modern Nintendo game for better and for worse, and that means it’s accessible to a fault, has a sparse story, and a focus on short, simple micro-challenges for quick dopamine hit rewards.

Lost Soul Aside Review – All Flair, Barely Any Substance

The core concept of Lost Soul Aside is solid, and there’s fun to be had in its combat, but it’s not something I can comfortably recommend. It’s a stylish action game that is capable of delivering high-octane encounters that would bring a smile to your face. But everything else puts too much pressure on the little good it has going for it.
