Final Fantasy 7‘s Cloud has Sephiroth, Mario has Bowser, and in the case of Ash Ketchum, famed Pokemon trainer, there is Team Rocket. It has been a long time since fans have seen them in a new, mainline Pokemon title, however, and Team Rocket’s return in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is a big deal. The implications of Team Rocket showing up in Alola—and possibly beyond Alola as well—are many, but here are some of the most exciting ones. It’s Been Over 15 Years Since Team Rocket Last Showed Up

Call of Duty is stepping back in time, Star Wars Battlefront has single-player content again, and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus goes the whole hog with a playable version of Wolfenstein 3D. Wolfstone 3D swaps the enemies from Wolfenstein 3D for pixelated Kreisau “terrorists” and replaces the portraits of Adolf Hitler from the original game with posters of Blazkowicz. It’s clear that quite a lot of work has gone into what basically amounts to an easter egg. The rebooted Wolfenstein games strike

A post from Reddit user Chrossom on the Pokemon GO subreddit puts forward the idea that the developer might be looking to change all PokeStops into Gyms in the near future.

Talking in an new interview with Waypoint’s podcast, Heir discussed the issues with EA’s development strategies and why they didn’t work with Mass Effect: Andromeda.
