Illustrative text-based-bangers ahoy!
If you’re already all clued up and in the know about Moral Anxiety Studio’s Roadwarden, you’ll already be in the know about how it was one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2022. And now it could be repeating success on Switch as it comes to the console on 25th August 2025.
Preorders for this one are now available on the Nintendo eShop, and it’d be remiss of us not to point out that there’s a 20% launch discount at the moment, which brings the price down to a very nice £7.91 / $8.79 until 15th September. Yessir.

This is the Ray.
We Pokémon fans are no strangers to a mispronunciation or two, and at the recent World Championships, The Pokémon Company was on a mission to put one legendary debate to bed (thanks for the heads up, IGN).
If the above image wasn’t enough of a giveaway, we’re talking about Rayquaza, the Gen III legendary dragon. As it turns out, there are a few different ways that folks have been pronouncing this one, with the big split being between ‘Ray-KWAY-zuh’ and ‘Ray-KWAH-zuh’. At least, that was the big divide, because TPC laid out the official pronunciation at this week’s competition — it’s Ray-KWAY-zuh.

Update: After previously leaking it ahead of time.
After months of teasing for Tales fans, Bandai Namco may have slipped up and revealed its hand a little too early and shown us what the next Tales series remaster is.
As reported on Push Square, it looks like Tales of Xillia will be the next title getting the remaster treatment. Originally released on the PS3 in 2011 and 2013, the game has been stuck on the older console since, so fans should be pretty happy about this

Arriving “This Fall”.
Mega Evolution is the talk of the town for Pokémon in 2025, and it looks like it won’t be long before Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket gets in on the fun too.
As showcased in the weekend’s Pokémon World Championships Closing Ceremony, the next TCG Pocket expansion will introduce a batch of Mega Evolution cards to the mobile app. While the full lineup is yet to be revealed, we got a peek at the Mega Gyarados ex, Mega Blaziken ex, and Mega Altaria ex cards, which we’re sure we’ll all be chasing when the next expansion arrives at some point “this Fall”.

A SIWIQU by any other name.
Nintendo’s own dock is a non-nonsense device that just works. You slide your console in, crack the Joy-Con off, and boom, you’re off to the races. Given the larger size of Switch 2, though, its dock is a substantial slab of black plastic and various third-party firms have stepped in with offerings that are a little more portable.
Antank is one such company, and the S3 MAX TV Dock Station for Nintendo Switch 2 — also known as the SIWIQU Dock Station in some parts — is certainly smaller than the dock that comes with the console. Weighing in at 109 grams (compared to 383 grams), you’ll barely notice you’re carrying it in your satchel, backpack, or anywhere else you care to secrete your hardware.

Last week, we looked at WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ for the GBA – a true classic and one of our favourites here at NL Towers. North America and Europe joined forced against Japan and, uh… Oh, poor Japan. The western design won with a whopping 91% of the vote! We quite like the Japanese design, there’s definitely something to it. Though if you said it was boring, we wouldn’t necessarily disagree. Hm.
