There is still no word on a release date outside of Japan, but in its first week of Japanese availability it has already sold 214,208 copies.

Hopefully worldwide too Nintendo of Europe has just announced that the fabled Mewtwo amiibo will launch on July 08, 2025.

Wind and earth join the fray I am a little surprised that we have not yet properly talked aboutRivals of Aetheron Destructoid. Aside from abrief mention among dozens of other games, we have not looked at the 2D pixel artSmash Bros.-like fighting game.

It’s no wonder why we’re getting a re-release. The confusingly phrased “enhanced port” is still coming westward in September, a whole seven months after Japan received it. Dubbed “Catherine: Full Body,” this PS4 (and Vita, in Japan: RIP) port boasts new content and enhanced visuals, as well as a Japanese audio track for the localization....
