LEGO Fans Are Building the Game Boy Set Wrong

by

The LEGO Game Boy set (number 72046) was revealed in January 2025, just before the 36th anniversary of the original Game Boy. It officially went on sale October 1st, and in the U.S., it seems like LEGO had enough available to meet most of the demand – shortages haven’t been a major issue, which isn’t unusual for LEGO sets based on Nintendo products. Pre-orders sold out quickly during the summer, and lots of people were able to get the set, likely helped by its popularity on social media and its appeal as a holiday gift.

One of the Biggest PS5 Games of January is Skipping PS5 Pro Support

Even before its release in November 2024, details about the PS5 Pro had been widely leaked online. This upgraded version of the PlayStation 5 boasts a more powerful graphics processor and doubles the storage space with a 2TB solid-state drive.

by

Okay, so my first time playing, a lot of little things just kinda blended into the background, you know? But once I finished the game and knew how it all went down, going back for a second playthrough was wild! Suddenly, all those details I barely noticed before were like, ‘Hey, pay attention to this!’ It totally changed how I experienced it.

Those ones need multiple playthroughs to really understand everything, which honestly, I’m not always mad about!

2026 is the 30th Anniversary of Pokemon and Persona, But I’m Prepared to Be Disappointed by 1 of Them

by

Looking back, it’s amazing to see how huge both the Persona and Pokemon series have become over the last 30 years – they’ve definitely changed a lot since they first came out! I’m really excited for 2026 when they both celebrate their 30th anniversaries, and I’m guessing both Atlus and The Pokemon Company have big plans. But honestly, I’m feeling a lot more confident about what Pokemon will reveal. They’re on the verge of launching their 10th generation of games, which is awesome. A brand new mainline Persona game, though? That still feels pretty far off, even with the anniversary coming up.
