Remakes of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have been rumoured to be arriving next year, alongside the confirmed release of a new Pokémon Snap title. Releases this year consisted of two new expansions for Pokémon Sword and Shield, as well as multiple smaller entries such as a League Of Legends styled MOBA.
Nintendo also celebrated Mario’s 35th anniversary earlier in the year, commemorating the event with multiple games and other surprises, including a remastered version of three classic 3D Mario titles. Next year will also see Zelda’s 35th anniversary, sharing the same space as the Pokémon celebrations.
For Pokémon fans, the online-multiplayer inspired game TemTem is hitting PlayStation systems next month. Entering in an early access format, players will get a taste of the game that PC players received at the beginning of the year.
