The strange thing about this event is that Pikachu, not Porygon, was actually responsible. However, the Pokémon franchise decided to remove Porygon from the anime and has largely kept it and its evolved forms out of significant storylines ever since. Even after 28 years, Porygon’s absence remains a remarkably unusual and lasting consequence within the Pokémon anime series.

The recent game update introduces a new system that some players might find a little complicated. Many are asking whether the new levels are here to stay or are just temporary. This guide will quickly explain how the new level cap works and how trainers can reach higher power levels in the Mega Dimension DLC.

Nintendo is bringing back its Year in Review for 2025! It’s a fun way to look back at everything you’ve played this year – you’ll see how many hours you spent in each game, what kinds of games you enjoyed, and even a playful count of how many times you used the Blue Shell item (though that number might be a bit of a joke!).

The retailer acknowledges that older games are becoming increasingly hard to find – in fact, the Video Game History Foundation estimates that 87% of games from before 2010 are now lost. To combat this, the retailer recently started the GOG Preservation Program to safeguard as many games as possible, and is now expanding those efforts to ensure these games remain playable for the future.

Microtopia is a new automation game from Cordyceps Collective and Goblinz Publishing that lets you build and manage a colony of robot ants. The game features a distinct futuristic style and challenges you to design efficient transport systems, explore diverse environments, and grow your settlement. Ultimately, your mission is to reproduce – creating new queen ants to fly off and establish colonies in new areas, continuing the cycle of life.

Here’s the details, directly from the official blog:

The developers say it will offer exciting new challenges and ways to customize your gameplay. With new areas, dungeons, and an improved weapon system, Talandre is set to significantly enhance the game for everyone!

So, this is technically a second remaster, following the strangely altered port of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 released on PlayStation 3 back in 2009. But let’s ignore that one and talk about Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, which was surprisingly announced during the January Xbox Showcase. Revisiting the game after playing it when it first came out 16 years ago – and pretending Sigma never happened – I realized how bizarre and disconnected the story actually is.
