Pokemon Go Plus iOS 11 Testing October 10, 2017
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Since we got the Pokémon Go Plus BlueTooth accessory, we’ve been having a few issues running the accessory while the iPhone was in standby. The Pokémon Go app would either crash during standby or randomly disconnect from the phone, making a major selling point of Pokémon Go Plus moot. We predicted this was most likely a minor bug that could have been brought on in iOS 11, and would be fixed in an update.
Yesterday, Niantic released an update for the iPhone version of Pokémon Go, and we wanted to finally test how well the app runs with the Pokémon Go Plus accessory while in standby. So we pulled out an old camera and decided to film a walk to see if there is any difference in how Pokémon Go will measure distance if you use the Plus while your phone is in standby. Our results will surprise you!
What do you think of our results? Post a comment below with your thoughts!
Pokémon Go is out now for iOS and Android Smartphones.

Just want to put this here. Makes a lot more sense than showing it during Monday Night Football, don’t you think?

Yesterday, Nintendo hosted the most important sporting event of the year, the Nintendo World Championships 2017. In it, twenty-four of the best Nintendo players in the world got together to compete in a slew of different games from across Nintendo’s illustrious history. Nintendo World Champion 2015 John Numbers was also back to defend his title against a whole new group of competitors in New York City. The only game we knew for sure would be played was Metroid: Samus Returns on the Nintendo 3DS, any others would have been a surprise.
In case you missed any part of the event, Nintendo was nice enough to archive the entire competition on their official YouTube Channel. Watch and enjoy!
Pokemon: I Choose You -Full Theatrical Trailer October 5, 2017
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
When I was a kid, the release of Pokémon: The First Movie was truly an event. While a new animated Pokémon film has been released nearly every year since then, the films have not gotten a wide theatrical release since the fourth movie, and the new films would either be released on home video or television. This year, that policy will change as The Pokémon Company plans to release the next Pokémon film in theatres for a limited time.
Take a look at the full trailer for the next major animated Pokémon film, Pokémon: I Choose You.
Pokémon: I Choose You is coming to theaters for a limited engagement on November 5th and 6th. Check with your local theaters for ticket availability.

Studio MDHR released the highly-anticipated independent title Cuphead late last week. The game is heavily inspired by a 1930s animation style and features Mega Man-esque gameplay with a steep learning curve.
The game’s music features a type of jazz style that perfectly matches the classic animation look of the game. To promote the game’s release, the guys over at Studio MDHR released these videos of the studio recordings of two songs from the game’s soundtrack. Enjoy.
Cuphead is out now for Xbox One and Windows 10.
Gaming History You Should Know – POLYBUS October 1, 2017
Posted by Maniac in Gaming History You Should Know, Uncategorized.add a comment
We are back with another Gaming History You Should Know, where we highlight and feature some of the best content on the web detailing the history of gaming.
A few years ago, information about a previously unknown arcade game from the 80s called POLYBUS surfaced. It has since become an urban legend, as stories spread about the game’s possible side effects. Many claimed the game induced everything from seizures and depression to death.
However, despite the game’s infamy, nobody has been able to conclusively probe the game actually existed. To this day no one has been able to find a prototype cabinet or game ROM, although a few fan versions of the game have been published over the years.
Stewart Brown over at the YouTube Channel AHOY did a fantastic documentary about the history of this game and the impact it has had on gaming culture. In fact, it’s so well done, I believe it is on par with any documentary that’s been recently produced by a modern television network. Is POLYBUS real? Watch and find out.
So what are your thoughts on POLYBUS? Post a comment below with what you think about it.
