Pokemon Legends Arceus, Nintendo Dream Magazine, February 2022 Direct Speculation

Game Freak’s newest Pokemon adventure is here with Pokemon Legends Arceus! Let’s dig into some early impressions on the world of Hisui discussing the radical departure from the Pokemon formula and the dangers of giant Bidoofs. This week’s feature is all about the Japanese Nintendo magazine Nintendo Dream. Imagine if Nintendo Power never went away, and if it was in Japanese! Better late than never, I also discuss indie hits Loop Hero and What the Golf?, the huge news about Microsoft purchasing Activision Blizzard, and wild speculation about the next Nintendo Direct!
