Microsoft is Snatching Up a Lot of RPGs, But Fable Has to Remain King

Microsoft has been on a rather aggressive streak of purchasing studios and making deals, all in an attempt to cement itself stronger this generation. This can be seen as far back as 2018 and well into the current generation. Between those acquisitions, the Bethesda acquisition in 2021, and various Game Pass deals like Outriders and MLB The Show 21, it's clear Microsoft is thinking ahead.Many of these may take a couple of years to fully pay off, but that's really a good thing.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Can’t Replicate This DS Feature, and That’s a Shame

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are often considered some of the most-polished games in the franchise, and their bevy of unique features showing off the capabilities of the Nintendo DS likely play a part in this perception. The first foray into the fourth Generation of Pokemon games utilized the touch screen by letting players polish their Gym Badges and use apps on the Poketch, while the Normal/Flying-type Chatot's signature move Chatter could use custom audio thanks to the DS microphone. Upcoming remakes Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl can emulate some of these ideas thanks to Switch hardware, but others will be lost to…

Animal Crossing: New Horizons x Build-a-Bear Sales Basically Defines 2020-2021

Over a year after Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ release, the world was treated to the announcement of an Animal Crossing and Build-A-Bear collaboration.

Final Fantasy 16 Seems to Be Retreading One FF15 Plot Point

Final Fantasy is one of the longest-running gaming franchises to date, with tons of numbered entries, spin-offs, supplemental material, and the like.
