Pokemon announces trio of relaxing Pokemon games

Including a new Pokemon Snap

Published

on

Who doesn’t need more Pokémon in their lives? After a few relatively tepid months from the popular monster-catching series, Pokémon is back with a brigade of upcoming games for the dedicated trainer. Coinciding with the first Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC, the company has announced three new titles in the spinoff series: Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Café Mix, and Pokémon Smile.

Pokémon Snap

A classic title from the Nintendo 64 era, Pokémon Snap is coming to the Nintendo Switch as an all-new game — officially titled New Pokémon Snap. Much like the main battle-focused titles, New Pokémon Snap is a collecting game but, instead of throwing PokéBalls at cute creatures, you just take photos of them. The upcoming title is designed to be a much more relaxed experience as you try to fill up your Photodex. New Pokémon Snap does not have a release date yet, but it’s coming soon.

Pokémon Café Mix

Remember Diner Dash, the classic strategy game where you control and manage your own restaurant? Pokémon Café Mix follows the same plot. However, instead of beating the clock to satisfy customers, you solve puzzles to make the perfect cup of coffee. Like New Pokémon Snap, the café-building game offers a chillout experience away from the bustle of trainer battles. It will come free-to-start starting June 23.

Pokémon Smile

Sometimes, teaching a child to brush their teeth is as difficult as pulling your own teeth. Pokémon Smile aims to help with that particular childcare predicament. Using a front-facing AR camera, players can save Pokémon from bacteria and catch the newly saved Pokémon. The app can also set notifications for brushing and provide brushing advice. (Though the app is made for kids, us adults sure could use some help brushing our teeth, too. Especially for that cute Charmander.) Pokémon Smile is available now on Google Play and the App Store.

Netflix’s Blood of Zeus now in the game Immortal Fenyx Rising

In a themed quest called “A tribute to family”

Published

January 25, 2021

By

This crossover just makes so much sense. Netflix’s animated series Blood of Zeus is in Ubisoft’s Immortal Fenyx Rising. Players will be able to dive into a Blood of Zeus–themed quest and purchase an all-new character pack and weapon pack.

From January 21 to January 28, in a Blood of Zeus–themed quest called “A tribute to family”, players will take on two evil creatures of another world: Chimera and Cerberus. Upon completion of the quest, players will earn the Eagle pendant and all-new character customization options tied to “Blood of Zeus.”

The weapon pack contains Blood of Zeus–themed skins for your Sword, Axe and Bow. Meanwhile, the Blood of Zeus character pack lets you walk in the footsteps of the Amazonian warrior Alexia.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a fresh game with an action and puzzle filled open world that has humor and Greek mythology enclosed into it. You might say it can be a mix of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of wild.

  • Metro Plaza

There were some pre-order blunders the first go round but here’s to hoping there won’t be a repeat of that.
