As promised, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have revealed more Pokemon news today. Along with new Pokemon, three new characters in the story, a brand-new feature called the Poke Finder and Ultra Beasts, differences between Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were announced. In previous games, players could discover only certain Pokemon in only one of the two versions of the game. Now, in addition to this feature, there will be a difference in the way time is set in the two games.

Hori, best known for creating some of gaming's best fighting game controllers, has designed a brand new controller for the Super Nintendo Classic Edition. In one of the best examples of companies getting together for the greater good, you can get yourself a Hori Fighting Commander this week - a controller officially licensed by Nintendo to work with the Super Nintendo Classic Edition. There have been versions of Hori's Fighting Commander controllers on a wide variety of consoles over the years, though in recent times the series seemed to have all but disappeared.

The new Fortnite update introduces the Battle Lab. Fortnite just received patch v11.31 on all platforms. Epic Games is no longer sharing specific patch notes, but the developer added a new feature worth highlighting. Enter Battle Lab, a custom mode creator that allows players to come up with their own rules, including the ability to modify parameters like gravity and other factors beyond what you typically see in Fortnite's limited time modes.

Fortnite Stormtrooper checkpoints are your hubs for completing several May the 4th challenges. Actually finding them is a bit tricky. There’s only a small handful of the points scattered across the map, usually in out-of-the-way locations. Knowing where they are ahead of time gives you an advantage if you're trying to land at them, though you'll need to take a road trip to finish one of the challenges. Where are the Stormtrooper checkpoint locations in Fortnite?

Pokemon abilities and moves are a major part of any battle, and in Pokemon Sword & Shield there are a range of new abilities and new moves you'll find attached to certain newcomers and returning creatures alike. New Abilities for Pokemon Sword & Shield Adding new abilities is a tradition with each new generation of Pokemon games, and Sword & Shield is no different in this regard. While existing skills that fans will be familiar with from throughout the rest of the Pokemon series will also be present in Sword & Shield, probably what's most interesting of all are the new abilities that come attached to some of the new Pokemon in the game.

Japan is getting an incredibly wholesome looking Animal Crossing-themed encyclopedia that's meant to be an educational tool for kids. Blathers has plenty to say about all kinds of critters and creatures in the world of Animal Crossing, but we don't always want to hear it. For those who do want to learn a bit more though, there's an encyclopedia based on all of the non-anthropomorphic animals in New Horizon coming out later this year, though unfortunately it's Japan only (thanks, VGC).

It's time for the best co-op games. Humanity is unlike any other species on Earth. Look around you - look at all we can do. I am typing my brain thoughts on some ethereal electronic space that only exists to us, transferring my ideas to your mind like some arcane telepath. It’s amazing when you really think about it. Know what else are amazing? Video games. Since the first video game released, technology has improved, fidelity has increased, and the creative ingenuity of the field hasn’t slowed down an ounce.

War: What is it good for? Pretty, pretty mushroom clouds. A couple of days ago I posted my first Civilization 6 play-through feature, where I detailed the road to my first ever victory in the game, which was a religious victory where I led Japan to make their religion the dominant cultural force in the world. Today, here's something a bit different: all-out war. This game of Civilization was one that dragged on quite a bit, and it was a particularly turbulent, war-torn world.
