Nugglocke run.

Ah, The Pokémon Company and McDonald’s. Is there a better duo out there? Well, that depends on who you ask, but the pair is teaming up once again for a new range of Happy Meals packed with cards.

If you cast your mind all the way back to January 2025, you might remember maccies branches in the US landed a sweet Happy Meal range containing a bunch of Dragon-Type Pokémon cards. Well, that same tie-in has finally made its way over to the UK, and it’s available right now.

You see, Merluzzi voiced the likes of Black Shadow, Beastman, The Skull and the announcer in the 2003 GameCube racer — talk about synergy!

A Dream(cast) collection.

We love Capcom Fighting Collection 2! There, that’s the review done.

Seriously though, this is a particularly strong lineup of actual arcade Bangers (yes, with a capital B), that doesn’t have anything approaching a full-on weak spot across a stellar roster of classic titles, so it’s not really a surprise, is it? Indeed, outside of losing console-specific extra modes (which aren’t really the point here anyway), it’s not the easiest of game collections to pick fault with.

And artwork from Final Fantasy artist.

Limited Run Games has shared the release date for the long-awaited return of everyone’s favourite gaming gecko, Gex. The Gex Trilogy launches on Switch (and other consoles) on 16th June 2025, and it’s obviously getting a rather lavish special edition.
