Skirting around the elephant in the room in an interview with VGC, Pocket Pair CEO Takaru Mizobi said he'd love to get PAL World on Switch 2.

Of course, Mizobi replied when asked if the studio had Switch 2 ambitions.

First of all, I should say that we think the Switch 2 is a really amazing platform, not just for games globally, but especially here in Japan and for the Japanese games industry.

So the top gifted spots are now tracked every single day.

Kirk says, I actually think it comes down to particular outlets because VGC uses a five-star scoring system and they're highly credible and reputable.

Eurogamer are just incompetent.

Can you guys

I think you're trying to communicate that the user score is more reliable.

It's not the scoring system.

I encourage you to go to VGC, which I assume will serve as a foil for how competent journalists can use a five-star system.

Okay.

who's larger than any building in your town.

It's Jordan Middler at VGC.News. Then he just keeps growing.

There's a song about it.

VGC reports Helldivers 3 isn't in development because its biggest competitor would be Helldivers 2.

Number seven, the We News.

VGC reports that Capcom says a data breach affected more than 11 million Capcom ID accounts.

Credit card details were unaffected.

So they just got your home address and your weird passwords.

Don't worry about it.

Andy at VGC also reports that PlayStation and Insomniac's Wolverine debuted as the best-selling game of September in the U.S., according to Serkana.

According to that sales data, the PlayStation 5 exclusive delivered the highest launch month dollar sales for a Sony-published game since February 2024's Helldivers 2, helping PlayStation 5 revenue increase by 43% compared to a year ago, Sony's highest hardware month since May 2025.
