The magician Uri Geller has taken to social media to apologise for getting the pocket monster Kadabra banned from the official Pokémon Trading Card Game many years ago and has now given Nintendo permission to use it once again. “I am truly sorry for what I did 20 years ago. Kids and grownups I am releasing the ban. It’s now all up to #Nintendo to bring my #kadabra #pokemon card back. It will probably be one of the rarest cards now! Much energy and love to all!” Back in the year 2000, Geller attempted to sue Nintendo for £60 million…

A new bug in the PlayStation game Spider-Man: Miles Morales “turns Miles into various inanimate objects, including bricks, cardboard boxes, and even a trash can,” reports GameSpot: Despite Miles’ changed appearance, he can still perform many of his heroic antics, including web-swinging and beating up bad guys. It’s an important lesson to all of us in these trying times: You might look like trash, but you can still do your job. Today Engadget reports that the glitch even turns Spider-Man into a patio heater: If you’ve ever wanted to keep people toasty warm while fighting crime, now’s your chance. Slashdot…

Sony has dropped a PS5 system update designed to improve system performance – but it’s still unclear what the patch specifically changes. The 20.02-02.26.00 system update weighs in at 886MB and, like last week’s update, its details read simply: “This system software update improves system performance.” If you want to download the update manually, head to: Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software.Sony traditionally doesn’t comment on the contents of its system updates, and hasn’t responded to requests for comment on the recent patches either. Last week’s patch did appear to…

[ad_1] Nintendo operates in all parts of the world and one of these locations happens to be Australia. In this same country, the global video game giant has been running an eBay page where fans can purchase Joy-Con battery packs, replacement parts for Labo Kits, amiibo and even 3DS cover plates. As of 30th November though, the store will no longer be in operation.

[ad_1] Sonic’s 30th anniversary is coming up next year, so how could Sega potentially keep this long-running series feeling fresh? What if it was to hand it over to Yakuza series producer, Daisuke Sato… In an official Sega interview recently, Sato was asked what Sega IP he would like to work on that he’s never touched before. His response – Sonic the Hedgehog. If he was given the chance, the industry veteran says he would likely come up with a “completely different” kind of Sonic game. Here’s his full response: “It’s an IP that I haven’t come to before. In…

[ad_1] Pokémon Go’s Electabuzz Community Day will take place on Nov. 15 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. in your local time zone. The event will feature Electabuzz spawning in abundance, with a high chance to find the Pokémon as a Shiny, as well as several other perks. Keep in mind that Electabuzz does need a Sinnoh Stone to evolve, but it’s likely that these will be rewarded from Field Research throughout the event. How do I get a Shiny Electabuzz? Since Electabuzz will be popping up everywhere, just tap every Electabuzz you see until you get a Shiny one.…

[ad_1] The Harmonix office must be an absolute nightmare. Plastic instruments everywhere, like an elephant graveyard of peripherals, gathering dust and leaking memories of Rock Band parties long past. Do they use the fake drum sets as plant stands? Are the guitars mounted on the wall as if they used to belong to Van Halen? Or do they just chuck ’em all in the bin as soon as the games go out of production? Fuser, perhaps, is the answer to this imagined plastic mess: a music game with no peripherals at all. The DJ game takes place entirely on the…
