Arc System Works are a developer who more likely than not, you’ll think of as a fighting game studio. I wouldn’t blame you, they’re the folks behind Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, all really beloved fighting games. That doesn’t paint a full picture though, and in a showcase held yesterday, they showed off a bunch of upcoming games, some of which they made themselves, others they’re serving as publisher for. And not one fighting game in sight! Which plenty of people made comments about, but I think those people maybe need to play anything other than a fighting game for once.
Back in April, Stray Gods: A Roleplaying Musical developer Summerfall Studios launched their Kickstarter for Malys, a roguelike deckbuilder where you play as a “former priest turned demon-hunter” that certainly looked quite atmospheric. This is the same studio co-founded by Dragon Age writer David Gaider, so it’s not like they came out of nowhere. However, it fell a bit short of meeting its goal, something that quite often guarantees that death of a game. Except it just launched into early access this week. Go figure!
I thought Locomoto would be the perfect game for me amidst the Switch 2 chaos. With all the excitement of opening new games and speeding around the track in Mario Kart World, I needed something much slower, calmer, and cosier.
And, for the first five hours, Locomoto slotted into that role perfectly. You’re the conductor of your own train which you use to ride across a surprisingly sprawling countryside setting, populated by anthropomorphic characters. It’s Animal Crossing-meets-train sim, but with a focus on community building and quests.
Right now, I can’t really tell you much of what A Short Hike developer adamgryu is working on. He shared a little look at whatever is next last week, and it certainly looks adjacent to A Short Hike vibes wise – we’ll come back to this one with the tiniest of details in a bit. At the very least, I can certainly tell you what he’s not working on: a game called Untitled Paper RPG.
Developer Mintrocket has seemingly confirmed that a free upgrade is on the way “soon” for Dave The Diver on Switch 2.
This comes via a recently-posted 2nd anniversary video on YouTube in which the developer responded to a comment from our very own community member ‘PikaPhantom’, simply stating “we will be providing free Switch 2 upgrade soon!”.

Why Isn’t My Grow a Garden Code Working?
There are usually two reasons why a code isn’t working. 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
If new codes are added to the game, we’ll update this article, so you can always check back here and keep up-to-date with the latest codes. Grow a Garden has its own dedicated Discord server where codes will be announced, as well as game updates.
What is Grow a Garden in Roblox?
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 Mega Harvest 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 June 28, 2025 and is being called the Mega Harvest. While we don’t know much yet besides the fact that the Summer Harvest event is being extended, we can guess that there will be new seeds, new pets, even more craftable items to come.

When the Lunar Remastered Collection arrived on the Switch in April, it had a bit of a rocky physical launch. This return of the classic JRPG series also saw some cool goodies, but they weren’t made available to the public.
A fusion of “belt-scroll action and fighting games expertise”.
Last year, Arc System Works lifted the lid on Double Dragon Revive, but one thing missing at the time was a Nintendo version.
Now, during the company’s latest showcase this week, a Switch version has been confirmed for release alongside other versions of the game on 23rd October 2025.
Although it’s been well over a year and a half since the Pokémon TCG’s 151 expansion of the Scarlet & Violet set came out, stock demand is higher than ever, fueled both by nostalgia for the original Pocket Monsters featured and the ongoing scarcity of cards.
From the least-expensive to the most wallet-busting, these are the ten most expensive Pokémon TCG cards you can pull in the S&V 151 set right now (ready for any potential special restocks during Amazon Prime Day, and rival sales at Walmart, Target, and more).
TL;DR – 10 Most Expensive S&V: 151 Cards
For those who just want to jump straight in, the ten most expensive cards in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet 151 set are just here, determined by their current market value on TCGplayer. The top five are all worth at least $40, with the top three going above $50.
Compared to some other sets, that’s all-in-all fairly reasonable… unlike the $500 plus you’re looking at for the rarest Destined Rivals singles right now!
While other recent sets have more expensive cards in general amongst their top ten, the special illustration Charizard ex is still among the priciest cards in the recent TCG right now, regularly floating between $170 and $185.
10. Ivysaur – 167/165
Glancing at 151’s full-art holofoil of Ivysaur, it’s not hard to understand why it’s a pricey contender to start off this list. Drawn by Yoriyuki Ikegami, who has been working on the TGC since the Crown Zenith days, this Ivysaur is a beautifully drawn card featuring the Seed Pokémon in a forest, staring into the water and seeing its former self as a Bulbasaur staring into the water.
It’s a vibrant, colourful card with a bit of emotion under the surface. Plus, this is a solid card for gameplay as well. Its 100HP makes it a bit tanky for a Stage 1 card. While it’s three-Energy Vine Whip dealing 80 damage feels standard, Leech Seed being able to heal and pepper damage at the same time is a nice bonus.
9. Charmeleon – 169/165
We’re back to a Stage 1 illustration rare, but this time of a Charmeleon drawn by Miki Kudo, a long-time Pokémon TCG artist who’s been around since the 2016 Generations set.
When looking at all three full-art versions of the Charmander evolution chain, you can see that Kudo has gone for a mountainous theme, respective to what’s thought of as a Fire Pokémon’s natural habitat.
In terms of gameplay, needing to discard an Energy each time for the already costly Fire Blast may seem cumbersome, but its 90 damage could quickly turn the tide depending on early game situations. That said, it shouldn’t be much trouble anyway if you plan on evolving it quickly.
8. Bulbasaur – 166/165
The first of the illustration rares beyond the standard 165 cards in 151, this Bulbasaur is another Ikegami card that captures what Pokémon fans love about the original Grass starter.
While collectors can enjoy its adorable face, sitting under a tree and loving life, also having Leech Seed as an attack with 70HP makes it a pretty reliable Basic Pokémon that can at least take a hit or two at the start of a match.
7. Alakazam ex – 201/165
The first among the pricey ex cards of 151 is Alakazam ex, who can quickly stack some serious damage, both by using its Mind Jack to take advantage of your opponent’s benched Pokemon, and Dimensional Hand to deal damage from your own Bench.
Drawn by Shinya Komatsu, it wouldn’t be surprising if this Alakazam ex’s design is one of your favourites among 151 like it is mine. Set in the back of a home with potion bottles and books everywhere, testing its psychic abilities with those iconic spoons, it’s a thoughtfully done yet cosy sort of card that shows Komatsu understands Alakazam’s genius and drive to gain the edge in battle.
6. Squirtle – 170/165
The illustration rare of Squirtle is where 151 starts to get pricier, but it’s not hard to understand why when you look at its artwork and who illustrated it.
Placing the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in the ocean water at the beach, this Squirtle was drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist who has been working on Pokémon cards since the TCG’s very inception and has drawn almost 700 of them.
The risk of its Withdraw attack and the two-Energy cost of a 20-damage Skullbash doesn’t make it the best gameplay-wise. And yet, with the amount of jaw-dropping detail put into Squirtle and the ocean waters themselves, this can more be considered a work of art than a playing card.
5. Charmander – 168/165
Now that we’ve reached Kanto’s Fire-type starter, it’s the illustration rare Charmander that turns out to be the most valuable among the original three, compared to Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
Also illustrated by Miki Kudo, you can see its design is much like Charmeleon’s in a mountainous canyon, but this time at the bottom. The crowning touch for this theme is further down this list, but its duo Fire attacks, one dealing damage and another removing a troublesome Stadium card, this Charmander is a must for any Kanto-based Fire deck when its full evolution chain has been added.
4. Zapdos ex – 202/165
Conjured up by the artistic talents of Shiburingaru, who has been of part ot the Pokémon TCG since 2022’s Brilliant Stars, 151’s Zapdos ex is stunning, with a majestic illustration featuring the electric bird soaring through the sky with its fellow Legendaries, Moltres & Articuno.
Its ability and moveset are nothing to overlook either. Along with Voltaic Float giving it flexibility for an easy retreat, Zapdos’ Multishot Lightning attack gives it the capability to shred through your opponent’s benched Pokémon as well as those active.
3. Venusaur ex – 198/165
A vivid and colourful card design, even more so than its pre-evolutions, this Venusaur ex looks both peaceful and intimidatingly stoic at the same time. Another card by Yoriuki Ikegami, it’s fitting for the fully evolved Grass-type starter.
Also like Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, it’s fairly tanky as well with 340HP, paired with it being able to steadily heal your team and inflict Poison plus Confusion to your enemies too.
2. Blastoise ex – 200/165
The second most expensive card in 151 is this resplendent vibe of a Blastoise ex card. Another by veteran Mitsuhiro Arita, there are multiple reasons this special underwater-themed card has drawn quite a high price.
As well as its very pretty illustration facing the final Squirtle evolution underwater, it’s just as Venusaur ex, with the ability to deal more damage. While its HP isn’t as high, its Solid Shell reduces damage, while its Twin Cannon attack can deal up to 280 damage at a time at the cost of two Energy cards, even though you have to discard Energy cards each time you use it.
1. Charizard ex – 199/165
At over $173 in market price in writing, the 199 full-art Charizard ex is both the most expensive in the Pokémon TCG’s 151 set, but also the most exquisite in terms of design. The crowning jewel of Miki Kudo’s illustrations, this Charizard completes the trilogy: starting with Charmander at the bottom of the mountainous canyon, Charmeleon slightly higher up, and Charizard itself soaring above with a fiery volcano in the background.
That, combined with the natural nostalgia for the practically priceless Charizard from the base set, is arguably why this is the most expensive card in 151 by over $100. Although its Brave Wing and Explosive Vortex attacks make it a strong damage-dealer, you might want to keep this one in a special case rather than a tournament deck if you manage to pull one.
Just like in other current sets such as Prismatic Evolutions, Destined Rivals, and even the upcoming Mega Evolution set, 151 has plenty of rare holofoil cards that have driven up a high market price on sites like TCG Player. In this case, though, it’s all of the full-art holofoil editions of Kanto favourites, also known as “illustration rares”.
