Pokémon Scalpers Are Ignoring Tornado Warnings Just To Nab Latest Card Collection

Nobody was hurt in their confusion.

Pokémon scalpers going to insane lengths just to secure a new card collection isn’t anything new, but this story might just be the craziest we’ve heard for a while (thanks for the heads up, Polygon).

Reddit user Expensive_Age_3406 took to the r/GameStop group last weekend to share their experience of trying to nab the latest Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection — a new bundle spun out from the immensely popular Eevee-focused set. As we’re sure you can imagine, it doesn’t sound like the most pleasant experience.

Review: Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny (Switch) – A Solid Remaster Of One Of PS2’s Best, But Stick To 4:3

Blade of glory.

When Onimusha: Warlords launched for Switch all the way back in 2019, we had optimistically assumed that its sequel would be right around the corner. How naïve. A bit of patience has been required, but now, more than six years later, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny has finally been given the same remaster treatment. We can’t be too mad at the long wait, mind you; with Capcom looking to fully revive the series with Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 2026, now might be the best time to remind players of what could well be the best entry.

In terms of what’s new with the Switch remaster, you can look to the original for a pretty solid benchmark. Visuals have been given a nice boost, and while there are no enhancements here akin to what the Resident Evil franchise has enjoyed in the past, the bump up to HD is still pretty nice. Certain areas can look a little muddy in handheld mode, but it’s a fine-looking game for the most part, bolstered by strong art design.

Like its predecessor, FAST RMX, Fusion looks to take full advantage of the new hardware’s capabilities to produce blistering performance at the highest resolution possible.
