Three weeks ago on this day, I featured Mega Evolution in my weekly Crashers and Climbers article, which focused on the set doing the typical evening out after the drop of a new set. Some cards were going up, some were going down, business as usual. Damn sneaker heads!

Fast forward to today, after a seemingly massive print run, everything is crashing. Literally every card you can pick out of this set is seeing new lows. For me, this is a market correction after a year of inflated prices both on the sealed and single card markets for a variety of factors I’ve discussed before.

Mega Evolution: All Crashers And Zero Climbs

Whilst I don’t think we’re seeing the bubble burst on the market just yet, we’re seeing a massive market correction that could see a decline in scalped product and more availability across the board.

If you can’t tell by now, I won’t be including a “Climbers” section today, but I’ll be diving into just how much values have crashed in the last three weeks and bag my readers a few bargains in the process.

Here’s the top cards from Mega Evolution at a glance, and we’re seeing between 8% and 33% drops in just three weeks. Full disclosure, the “Original Prices” on these cards are what I recorded on 10th October, just so we’re on the same page.

With all the indie titles being released on Steam every week, it can be hard to make your game stand out. Italian developer Fix-a-Bug accidentally gave its 2D dungeon crawler a big prelaunch popularity boost in Japan by accidentally naming the game “Shitty Dungeon” in Japanese.

Although the game’s English title is The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles, its Japanese language Steam Store page ended up displaying the title as Kuso Danjon. This means “Shitty Dungeon” or “Crap Dungeon,” if you want to be slightly more polite.

In a recent interview with Game*Spark spotted by Automaton, developer Paolo Nicoletti explained that the ‘shitty dungeon incident’ occurred back in August this year, when the team was releasing a demo version of the game and had yet to get a professional Japanese translation.

When they realized their mistake, Nicoletti says, “Everyone was cracking up, and honestly, I also laughed a lot about it. It was completely unintentional.” However the mishap did not flush the rogue-lite dungeon crawler down the toilet, rather, “It ended up bringing the game a lot of attention and the number of Wishlists soared.” Nicoletti said the name change was “the best accidental marketing” the developer could have hoped for.

According to an earlier report by Automaton Japan, the Japanese language Steam page for The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles was named Shitty Dungeon back on August 8. By August 13, Japanese speaking users had begun discussing the topic on X and had reported it on the official Discord server.

It’s still not clear how or why this mistranslation happened, but it’s worth noting that the pre-release Japanese language demo of the game had some awkward machine translations when it was picked for Tokyo Game Show’s ‘Selected Indie 80’ in September. The developers announced that these issues would be fixed in the full release, and it appears the ‘shitty dungeon incident’ occurred around this time.

This amusing mistake made the indie game stand out from the crowd of new Steam releases. It soon became a topic of discussion on Japanese social media. According to Nicoletti, this contributed to an increase in Wishlist numbers for the then-unreleased game. After all, a title that seems to proudly proclaim it’s bad can make people curious as to whether that’s really the case.

However, the quality of the game did not stink after all, and The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles currently has a ‘Mostly Positive’ rating on Steam. Reviewers have been praising its funny dialogue, satisfying gameplay loop and the overall care put into its development.

Japanese speaking commenters on X have also praised the demo and the full game for being surprisingly better than its initial Japanese title suggested. “Humor that lives up to the name,” and “great, detailed pixel art,” are among the plaudits given to the indie title. One Japanese language review on Steam noted that, “Despite the title Shitty Dungeon making me think it was a joke, it is actually quite well made.” The reviewer said that because they’d made a blind buy, “It wasn’t quite what I expected but the combat system is pretty interesting.” They also praised the game’s balance between humorous dialogue and tense combat.

Although good localizations are preferable, translation errors have produced some weirdly memorable dialogue over the years. If it hadn’t been for mistranslation, such lines would never have become so iconic. Lines like Zero Wing’s “All your base are belong to us,” and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night’s “What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets,” have endured beyond their source games to become well-known memes.

Arc Raiders has only been out a day, but it has already surpassed a Steam concurrent peak player count of 264,673, making it one of the biggest extraction shooters ever on Valve’s platform.

Given Arc Raiders ended its recent ‘Server Slam’ playtest with big player numbers on Steam, developer Embark Studio was likely braced for a bumper launch day. Which is just as well, as it’s currently one of the biggest games on Steam; just Battlefield 6, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG, and viral hit Escape from Duckov clocked up bigger 24-hour peaks.

This means more people played Arc Raiders on Steam in the last 24-hours than even free-to-play titles like Apex Legends and Marvel Rivals.

The true number of players Arc Raiders has will of course be bigger than its Steam count, as it also launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Neither Sony nor Microsoft make player numbers public. It’s also worth bearing in mind that Arc Raiders launched mid-week, so the expectation is for its player number to grow as the game heads into its first weekend. For now, we can say the launch is truly impressive on Steam, where Arc Raiders has a ‘very positive’ user review rating after over 8,800 reviews.

It’ll be interesting to see how Arc Raiders fares when perhaps one of its biggest competitors, Escape From Tarkov, debuts on Steam next month. Another key competitor could be Marathon. Arc Raiders’ design director previously said it was fortuitous timing to have Bungie’s extraction shooter launch a playtest around the same time as its own, calling it “a great A/B test for us.”

Earlier this week, Embark insisted it wasn’t worried about Arc Raiders coming out between Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, insisting: “we believe the game can launch there.”

“I know. The insanity,” CEO Patrick Soderlund told The Game Business. “People may look at that [Arc Raiders’ release date] and say, ‘What the hell are they doing?’ We have spent a lot of time looking at this from multiple angles and you know, for right or wrong, we believe that the game can launch there. This is the start of a long journey. It needs to start somewhere.”

Nintendo has won a lawsuit against a streamer who pirated games and livestreamed them ahead of their release dates.

The pirate, Jesse “EveryGameGuru” Keighin, infamously wrote to Nintendo “boasting” that he had “a thousand burner channels” to stream from and threatened to continue to use them, saying he could “do this all day.” “You might run a corporation, but I run the streets,” he wrote on social media at the time. He has now been ordered to pay $17,500 in damages.

Last November, we learned Nintendo had sued a gamer for streaming pirated Nintendo games such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom before their official release date. Nintendo filed a lawsuit in a Colorado court against Keighin accusing him of not only streaming 10 Nintendo games before they came out, but telling his viewers how to obtain them. The list includes The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

According to the lawsuit, Keighin obtained and streamed leaked Nintendo games at least 50 times since 2022, and provided links to the Yuzu and Ryujinx emulators for viewers. Nintendo alleged these actions amounted to “trafficking” in illegal “circumvention devices,” and insisted they caused “millions of dollars” worth of damage through “lost video game sales.”

According to TorrentFreak, however, the court did not agree to issue an injunction against anonymous “third parties” or order the “destruction” of the devices Keighin uses to circumvent Nintendo’s piracy systems, saying the demand was “unclear” and “unreasonable” without knowing who those third parties were or what the circumvention devices specifically are.

An injunction against Keighin was granted, though, preventing him from “infringing Nintendo’s copyrighted works, including by streaming, and from trafficking in Switch emulators, Nintendo’s proprietary cryptographic keys, or other software or technologies that circumvent Nintendo’s technological protective measures.”

Keighin reportedly did not prepare a defense nor any objections, and the judgment is now final.

Earlier this month IGN reported Nintendo was suing a Reddit moderator and alleged Switch pirate for $4.5 million, claiming the figure is “nowhere near an amount that would compensate Nintendo of America for the seriousness of the Defendant’s conduct.”

The conduct Nintendo references is the alleged “DMCA anti-trafficking violations” of James “Archbox” Williams, a moderator on the Switch Pirates subreddit who is accused of copying and distributing pirated Nintendo Switch games. Nintendo tracked down the alleged Switch pirate last year using a combination of Reddit posts and repair orders.

Fortnite‘s Sidekicks, the adorable little pets that accompany you on your Fortnite adventures, have caused quite a stir with Fortnite fans — and not necessarily for all the right reasons.

As described by Epic Games, Sidekicks are new pals in Fortnite that join your adventures in Battle Royale, Fortnite Save the World, Fortnite Festival (your Sidekick will stay backstage), LEGO Fortnite, and developer-made experiences (Sidekicks can only tag along with you if the Island Developer has enabled Sidekicks in their island). They let you “enjoy their company as they react to the world around you.” You can design them yourself, including their personality and physical traits, all of which will be locked in as “permanent” details, but you’ll be able to change their name and accessories — think hats, hoodies, that kind of thing — at any time. And no, they do not offer a gameplay advantage of any kind, nor can be hurt or killed in combat. (Phew!)

Looking for Grow a Garden codes? Plenty of Roblox experiences have codes, and Grow a Garden is no exception. Way back during the Lunar Glow Event, a code redemption system was added. Since then, however, we hadn’t seen a new code until the Zen Update. Even if they’re few and far between, every time there’s a new code in GaG, IGN will have you covered.

Working Grow a Garden Codes (October 2025)

• RDCAward – RDCAward (Cosmetic Item)
• BEANORLEAVE10 – Green Bean Chamber (Cosmetic Item)
• Torigate – Whispering Torri (Cosmetic Item)

Expired Codes for GaG (October 2025)

Unfortunately, these codes have now expired:

• LUNARGLOW10 – This gave players 3x Seed Packs.

How to Redeem Grow a Garden Codes

Now that there’s a code redemption system in the Roblox experience, here are the steps you need to follow to use Grow a Garden codes:

1. Launch the Grow a Garden Roblox experience
2. Look in the top left corner to find the Settings cog next to the icon of the backpack
3. Click settings and scroll down to the bottom
4. Copy and paste codes from this article into the Redeem Codes box
5. Press claim and enjoy your goodies!

Why Isn’t My GaG Code Working?

Code not working? There are usually two reasons why this happens. It’s either because:

• The code is expired
• The code has been entered incorrectly

If a code has been entered incorrectly or is expired, it will say the “code is invalid.” To stop this from happening, we’d recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. We check and test each of the codes before we add them to our articles. However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somewhere, so always double check there’s no additional spaces!

Where to Find More Grow a Garden Codes

Grow a Garden is a new Roblox experience that’s become incredibly popular since it launched. The gardening simulator allows players to show off their green fingers, as you buy seeds and plant a variety of crops from basic carrots to exotic dragon fruit trees.

As fruit and vegetables finally sprout, you’ll be able to harvest them to sell for Sheckles. To go from a beginner gardener to a pro worthy of awards, you’ll want your crops to experience mutations that increase their value. This can happen randomly, with Gold and Big mutations being down to chance, while weather events like snow can increase your luck of a Frozen mutation. There’s also gear, and even pets now, that can affect how fast your crops grow, their value, and more.

When is the Next Update in Grow a Garden?

Grow a Garden hosts new events each weekend, where players can come together and try out the fresh content for the ever-expanding game. The next update is planned for Saturday November 1, 2025.

There isn’t any known information about this update yet. Events now typically run for two weeks, with the first week being the time they’re introduced, and the second week when additional rewards are added to the event.

As always, to stay up to date with everything in the new event, visit our Grow a Garden guide. We put out new content as soon as the event goes live, and keep it updated all through the week.

Battlefield 6 players are trading theories about Easter Eggs and future updates after one fan discovered a mysterious hidden room in the firing range.

Speculation about EA and Battlefield Studios’ secret room began after Reddit user Mobile_Cyberdemon_as shared footage of their character clipping into a previously undiscovered, hidden area. The unlit space is tucked behind the cramped weapon testing room, with only a sealed door — which features a red “keep door closed” sign — hinting at its existence.

After a few minutes of trying (and lots of awkward crouching) on PlayStation 5, we were able to recreate the moment seen in the clip and confirm the hidden Battlefield 6 room exists. We can also confirm this mysterious hiding spot is, unfortunately, pretty boring, as it only features little more than a workbench and an empty gun rack.

It’s easy enough to see areas like this and assume they are simply unfinished assets left on the cutting room floor, but fans have other ideas.

Battlefield 6 launched just weeks ago, so there’s no telling what BF Studios could have had planned for this room when sneaking it behind the firing range. However, some details have given players more than enough ammunition to start crafting theories about what the hidden room was — and what it could be.

“Judging by the gates, it’s a vehicle hangar in the works,” one fan theorized. “I hope they eventually add a real shooting range, not just one room.”

Other Battlefield 6 fans have also proposed theories related to a firing range expansion, hoping that, if the hidden room wasn’t an official vehicle testing area, it could become one in the future. It’s an add-on the community has shown interest in for some time, as players spent the weeks since launch using precious helicopter and jet spawns just learning how to leave the ground.

Another popular theory suggests the room could could have served as a slightly smaller firing range upgrade that allows players to quickly experiment with different weapons and attachments. Commenters have even toyed with the idea of bringing the flashlight attachment into the hidden room to look for any Battlefield Easter Eggs BF Studios might have secretly placed.

Many of the ideas related to the Battlefield 6 mystery stem from desires players would like to see fulfilled. The firing range enigma could absolutely be an Easter Egg, unfinished feature, or future content update, but there’s also the possibility that players have been looking at the room long before Mobile_Cyberdemon_as made their discovery.

“You can see that stripey background in that customize weapon screen,” one popular fan theory said. “I guess that’s why the firing range loads so fast, because you’re actually in it the whole time.”

“That’s my assumption is when you’re in the menus you’re actually just in that room with your view locked to a UI and with different walls or areas serving as backdrops for certain screens in the menu system,” another player added.

For now, the hidden firing range room doesn’t seem to be much more than an extra space to run around in. While Battlefield 6 fans inevitably search every dark corner for Easter Eggs, you can see how the the online community feels about the first Season 1 map, Blackwell Fields. You can also check out everything you need to know about Battlefield REDSEC and battle royale, and you can learn about why some Battlefield 6 fans are far from happy with EA’s new standalone experience.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is getting an update that will make rewards from Ranked Battles, specifically a desirable set of Mega Stones, much easier to obtain.

In an official news post, The Pokemon Company revealed that at the start of Season 2 of its online Ranked Battle mode, players will be able to receive Greninjite at Rank Y, and Delphoxite at Rank S. Previously, in Season 1, players had to achieve Rank K to receive Greninjite (Delphoxite was not yet available).

This is a pretty big deal, as the difficulty of obtaining these Mega Stones has been a point of criticism from the community ever since they were first announced as rewards. The trio of original Kalos starter Pokemon: Fennekin, Froakie, and Chespin, are available fairly early on in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and all three of them have new Mega Evolutions. However, those Mega Evolutions can only be unlocked via the items obtained as rewards from online Ranked Battles, and aren’t available in the story campaign at all. This was frustrating for many players, as plenty of people don’t touch online play at all and would rather just play through the story only.

This update doesn’t make it possible to obtain the rewards without engaging in the online component of Z-A, but it does make them much easier to obtain. With Season 2, you’ll basically be able to get a Greninjite with a single Ranked Battle, even if you lose, as you can get rank points for actions taken in battle as well as actually winning. And you can move up multiple ranks in one go if you play well enough, making it pretty fast to go from Z to S for that Delphoxite. And it looks like Game Freak is updating how points are distributed to make it even easier to gain ranks.

Additionally, if trends continue this way, it sounds like the Season 3 update will introduce Chesnaughtite at a similar rank to Rank S, and lower the rank requirement for Delphoxite to something even easier as well. Per the announcement, “Mega Stones will continue to be reissued frequently in future seasons.”

Overall, this is a pretty good change for folks wanting to collect all the Mega Stones. A couple of Ranked Battles in Season 2 and 3 will net you all three stones with very little effort, and then if you prefer you never have to play Ranked again.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Season 2 starts on Wednesday, November 5.

I reviewed Pokemon Legends: Z-A and gave it an 8/10, saying that it “finally feels like Game Freak hitting its stride in Pokemon’s 3D era, with a fun setting to explore, a well-written story, and a total battle system overhaul that works surprisingly well.” The game sold almost six million copies in its opening week.
