The staggering amount of Pokewares that were peddled handily trounces the previous record that had been held by both Pokemon Diamond Version and Pokemon Pearl Version since 2007. Those games’ one-day sales of over 780,000 seem almost small compared to the million-breaking day that the Black Version and White Version managed to have. It’s very easy to get swept up in big sales numbers for franchises like Call of Duty, Halo and Madden, but it’s important to keep in mind that these games are the shining exceptions and not the rule....

Many Portal 2 fans may still be making their way through the game’s singleplayer and cooperative campaigns, but it’s a safe bet that plenty of Portal fans are already hungry for more. Some upset fans have gone so far as to make open attacks on Portal 2’s campaign length, so the announcement that there is DLC incoming should do something to ease their suffering. In an interview with Fast Company, Valve’s Vice President of Marketing Doug Lombardi was asked if extra missions were anywhere on the horizon for the game....

The allegation that Bryan Kohberger sent multiple messages to one of the students in the weeks leading up to the gruesome murder has now provided a potential link between the victim and the suspect.

Owner AmyLeweez shared a clip to her TikTok page at the end of last month, which has been seen more than 700,000 times. She set it to the popular track “Oh No,” by Kreepa, which is what she also captioned the video, writing: “Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no!” The adorable puppy is lying on the floor with a very forlorn expression on his face, as his owner simply says “well,” as she addresses her pet, believed to be called Simba....

Prior to trespassing, the Pikachu-costumed Combs told nearby officers he was unarmed (which undoubtedly raised suspicions) before jumping over the barrier and ignoring commands to stop. Despite his willful disobedience, the would-be Pikachu was quickly arrested, with local police services opting to replace the typical Pokeball approach with guard dogs and tackles. Suffice to say, it was super effective. Those hopeful to see a video of Curtis Combs in a Pikachu suit getting arrested will have to keep waiting, though the stuntman isn’t even the first Pokemon-based invader who tried to get in to the White House....

Don’t get too excited, though; there are a number of obstacles to overcome before Plants vs....

While a specific release date is still unknown, the release window has been narrowed down, and gamers can expect Pikmin 3 to hit the Wii U at some point in Spring 2013. This information came forth in the latest Iwata Asks, after one of the developers brought up how “surprisingly alright” the hardware noise was during testing; despite having a large number of Pikmin on-screen at the same time.
