Tamagotchi Plaza Resort

Bandai Namco has released a new update for Tamagotchi Plaza featuring the Maison de Poka, a new resort created by Prince Tamahiko. The shop managers of Tamahiko Town can relax and enjoy some time off at the resort, which is managed by Tamagotchi Plaza players. Players are gifted with furniture upon their first visit, and its up to them to purchase new furniture at Pariparitchi’s furniture store, “Paripari Style,” and make the resort flourish. More updates are also on the way for Tamagotchi Plaza.

Tamagotchi Plaza launched on June 27, 2025 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. As previously announced, the game is compatible with the Tamagotchi Uni device, which is sold separately. Final Weapon previously reviewed Tamagotchi Plaza, noting that it’s “a charming game with characters that are cute enough to hold their own. However, the mini-games leave much to be desired due to repetition, and the time it takes to complete shop upgrades can leave you drained.”

A total of 15 shops are made available at the launch of Tamagotchi Plaza Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. On Nintendo Switch 2, players can head to the Sushi Shop and grip the Joy-Con 2 to make and serve sushi to customers. Players can also show off their throwing skills at the Shuriken Shop or combine both of their newly acquired techniques in the Sushi Shuriken Shop. As a reminder, players who own Tamagotchi Plaza on Nintendo Switch can transition to the Nintendo Switch Edition by purchasing the upgrade pack in the Nintendo eShop.

Experience story mode for the first time in series history. Both series fans and newcomers to the Warring States and historical simulation games can enjoy this story focused on the life of Oda Nobunaga.

Marvel Rivals Adds Cyclops, New Game Mode, and New Map on June 12

NetEase has announced that it will add Cyclops to Marvel Rivals alongside the release of season 8.5 on June 12. The new season will also add a new map and game mode on the same day. 

Cyclops, otherwise known as Scott Summers, is one of the most beloved members of the X-Men. His character has recently gone through a resurgence, due to his major role in X-Men ’97. He will also feature in the upcoming Avengers Doomsday film. In Rivals, he can use his optic blasts to attack enemies at long range. Additionally, he can also bounce the blasts off of walls and between enemies. His super removes all of his limiters and deals devastating damage. 

Season 8.5 will add a new arena map, titled K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena. It also features an 18v18 mode titled Bounty Annihilation, which puts players into a no-holds barred deathmatch, with no rules or restrictions. Further, it includes a new team-up attack with Cyclops and Wolverine and a new summer event starting on June 18 (which will add costumes for Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Emma Frost, Doctor Strange, and Reed Richards). Finally, NetEase confirmed that the Avengers: Age of Ultron Road to Doomsday event will now release in late July, while the Avengers: Infinity War event will release in mid-October, so that it can polish both events. 

Check out the trailer showcasing Cyclops in Marvel Rivals below:
