"We have nothing to announce regarding any other potential titles". The news that the GBA Gen 1 refreshes, Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, are coming to Switch next week has gotten us excited this morning, but it's also raised some questions with fans. How come these games aren't coming to Nintendo Switch Online like the other GBA games in the Expansion Pack? Will I be able to trade? Will we be seeing more Virtual Console-style releases like this?

XCOM designer Jake Solomon has announced that his studio Midsummer, which was founded less than a year ago, is closing down.

Every year, Pokémon holds a presentation to mark the anniversary of the original Pokémon Red and Green titles launching in Japan for Game Boy, and this year is no exception. One thing that does make this February's Pokémon Presents a little different, though, is that this year marks 30 years since Red and Green made their debut.

Google has announced that with the help of AI, it blocked 1.75 million apps that violated its policies in 2025, significantly down from 2.36 million in 2024. The lower numbers this year, it said, are because its "AI-powered, multi-layer protections" are deterring bad actors from even trying to publish bad apps. Google said it now runs more than 10,000 safety checks on every app and continues to recheck them after they're published. Its use of the latest generative AI models helps human reviewers...

It's Pokemon's 30th anniversary soon, and to celebrate, Nintendo is releasing Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Switch.

Yo, that's Fire! Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have been going all-out with the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen news this morning, so it'll be no surprise to hear that the Poké pair are today's Nintendo Music drop.

Still just a download code, mind. It's official, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will arrive on the Switch eShop right after the Pokémon Presents wraps up next week on 27th February. It's a cause for celebration, of course, but there's a part of us that can't help but feel a pang of envy after realising that Japan is getting treated to a 'Special Edition' physical release, too. We use "physical" hesitantly there, because it seems that this boxed release is still reliant on its included download co...
