I don’t know if I’ve made it a secret but my favorite competitive multiplayer game currently out in the market is and has been Splatoon 2 for quite some time. I don’t know if it’s the game’s unique art style or fun ink based gameplay but I could play Splatoon multiplayer rounds for hours.

Tonight, during the first Nintendo Direct in what felt like forever, the next game in the Splatoon franchise was just revealed. I give you Splatoon 3.

Splatoon 3 is coming in 2022 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

Pokemon World Championships Moved to 2022 February 9, 2021

The biggest competition of the year is not the AFC/NFC Championship Game, World Series or even the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it is the Pokémon World Championships. Previously held every year, Worlds brings together the best Pokémon players from across all the disciplines (TCG, Video Game, Pokkén Tournament and now Pokémon Go), to see who is the very best like no one ever was. At stake was a big trophy, and the recognition that comes with it.

Last year, The Pokémon Company confirmed their next World Championships would take place in England, due to it being the inspiration for the recent Sword and Shield games. It didn’t happen in 2020 due to the current world events. Now, it looks like it will not happen this year either.

The Pokémon Company has just confirmed that Pokémon World Championship will not take place this year due to ongoing safety concerns due to the current world events. It is still expected to take place in England next year.
