A variety of activities are planned for those looking to show up and check out the launch event during the weekend. 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.

Rumble Royale local talents such as Gloco, Akosidogie, Suzzysaur, Riku, and more are said to be present at the event on November 15 at 5 PM onwards. The launch event will be available all weekend from 11 AM to 10 PM, the usual mall hours for Robinsons Magnolia.

UPDATE (as of November 13, 2019, 3:47 PM): we’ve been told by the event organizers that three Pikachu and Eevee mascots will be at the launch event and will be part of the dance performance and parade which will take place at the start and end of the event.

Rumble Royale talents will also participate in two tournaments on Friday - one for Pokemon Go and one for Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat
Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.

Lego Horizon Adventures Review (PS5) -  The Playful Side of a Post-apocalyptic World

Lego Horizon Adventures transforms the serious world of Horizon Zero Dawn into a playful experience geared towards younger gamers. With a lighter story, fun character twists, and familiar machines recreated in Lego form, it serves as a charming introduction to Aloy’s universe.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Review - Budokai Tenkaichi’s True Successor

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is a hefty game, yet the clear omissions make it feel like a lesser product compared to a title from nearly two decades ago. And while that may disappoint a lot of players, what is present is a great action fighter that looks and more importantly feels awesome to play.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Review - A Slightly Sharper Look Back

Sony revisits the 2017 classic with Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, aligning it visually and technically with its 2022 sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. While the remaster provides cleaner character models, enhanced lighting, and improved animations for NPCs, it doesn’t add new content.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Review - A Fantasy Perfected

Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Review (Switch) - Shadow Finally Gets His Due

Sonic X Shadow Generations blasts into the stratosphere by delivering a flashy, Shadow-centric epic with high-energy Doom Powers, excellent level design that strikes the right balance between fun and challenge, and a lot of heart in its short story. The fact that the timeless classic Sonic Generations comes with this package is more than just a cherry on top.

Of the Switch’s three Mario Party titles, Super Mario Party Jamboree not only provides the best value and the most content, but it’s a refinement of many of the series’ most iconic elements, with a variety of modes for every mood, skill level, and age group.

Until Dawn 2024 Review (PS5) -  A Visual Upgrade with a Familiar Experience

Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn remake polishes the 2015 horror classic with impressive visual upgrades and little additions. However, beyond the sharper visuals and slight changes, the core experience remains the same. Fans seeking a fresh take may find little reason to pick this up over the original, as the gameplay and story haven’t evolved beyond minor improvements.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Review - Revitalized and Modernized

Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered is a fun but flawed revisit to a zombie classic. It stays true in delivering its quirky and chaotic spirit, and was given a fair amount of polish to make it more appealing to modern players. While it’s a treat for longtime fans of the series, newcomers will feel the game’s age through its flaws.

Visions of Mana Review - Capturing the Classic JRPG Charm

While Visions of Mana doesn’t do enough to propel the series to new heights, many can find comfort in knowing that what we have here is another solid JRPG that can easily reiterate why you fell in love with these types of games, and that it’s a comfort to know that in 2024, there are still new adventures that can transport you to the good old days.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Review - Glory to the Emperor (PS5)

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is a fantastic third-person shooter that I highly recommend not only for fans of the franchise, but anyone who’s curious about it. It’s one of the more solid shooter campaigns released in recent years, with co-op features that make it a real treat with friends.
