Okay, as silly as the Nintendo Store app is the fact that you can also buy merch through it is kind of cute.

Start of an amazing franchise.

Reminded of the time when Mario Kart made a track set in Los Angeles and, out of all the cool landmarks our city has, decided to include the freaking oil field next to the airport.

Wow, they got so many locations from the show.

The weapon's gimmick is that it doesn't raise your stats at all when equipped. Instead, it boosts things like your crit rate, counter rate and reflect rate based on how you upgrade it.

Its weapon skill is "Trick or Treat," a move with a variety of random effects similar to "Pray" from Earthbound.

Halloween's over so now I guess it's okay to spoil it.

As some of you may have discovered, The Hallowed Update introduced New Meat's very first NEW WEAPON! The first one ever added to the game since its original launch, complete with its own unique upgrade tree and special skill.

Meet the Lantern!

Now that we know Nintendo’s “final updates” aren’t truly final that means it’s time to bring this talking point back.

The midnight hour is close at hand, and a certain pumpkin-headed horror is still feeling lonely. Sounds like a late-night giveaway is in order!

Take it away, Dr. Hallows!

And that’s credits on Pokemon Legends ZA.

A fascinating experiment of a Pokemon game, with a ton of heart and (surprisingly) one of the most engaging stories in the series’ history. If this is a sneak peek into Pokémon’s future, I’m super excited for it.

NEW MEAT UPDATE: The Hallowed Update is COMPLETE! (basically)

I'll probably tweak it here and there between now and release, but I'm willing to call this one READY FOR LAUNCH, which is THIS SATURDAY!

There'll be candy, costumes, trick-or-treating, and...something very exciting!

NEW MEAT UPDATE!

We are now feature-complete on the upcoming Halloween event! All that remains is copious playtesting, balancing and bugfixing, but I feel confident giving this a release date!

Coming October 25th, New Meat receives...THE HALLOWED UPDATE!

It’s interesting that Pokemon has done the “Electric Gym leader who’s a livestreamer with a fanbase of sycophantic super-nerds” twice in a row.

Doubly interesting that ZA handles it WAY better than Scarlet/Violet did. Almost feels like they wanted a do-over on that bit.

NEW MEAT UPDATE: Here's your first look at the upcoming Halloween Mode update for New Meat! In addition to new mechanics in the dungeon, the whole restaurant gets a holiday makeover!

It's the most ghoulish decor $25 dollars at a thrift store can buy!
