Nintendo have confirmed that Pokemon creator, Satoshi Tajiri, is alive via Twitter.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

I know there was an article on the 'death' but I think it's pretty note-worthy that he has been confirmed alive so therefore deserves posting!
What about Masashi Kishimoto(naruto) guys anyone heard about him?
Worth noting 10s of thousands are rumored dead still... Be a miracle if no-one
'well known' is killed :( So far so good though!
Good I'm glad to hear he's okay. I know there are many that are not and my thoughts are with them. Was just playing Pokemon Black earlier. I'm glad that the man responsible for most of my childhood is alive and well.
I was also wondering about Akira Toriyama and if he was okay. I know he lives in Japan as well. I guess I would be suprised to hear anything from him since he's always been sort of a recluse. I just hope he's okay.
Who the heck started this rumour anyway? Whoever it was, what a heartless bastard they are if they did it on purpose, while Japan are going through hell right now.
