With the hotly-discussed Pokémon Scarlet and Violet hitting the shelves last year and news of Ash and Pikachu leaving the anime for good, it is sometimes easy to forget that Pokémon cards are one of the most enduring elements of the franchise. While some will have fallen off the collecting bandwagon as the years have gone by, this returning storytelling feature was enough to make us consider getting back to the packs.

Take a look.
Nintendo’s marketing campaign for Fire Emblem Engage is now well and truly underway. Following previews going live, it’s now released a brand new overview trailer that runs for close to nine minutes. One catch is it’s only been uploaded to Nintendo’s YouTube channels in Japan, so you’ll have to watch the whole thing in Japanese.
