How Many Pokemon Are In New Pokemon Snap?

New Pokemon Snap features a ton of Pokemon to photograph in their natural habitats. While the full Pokedex isn’t represented in the game, the Switch spin-off boasts a nice selection of Pokemon taken across all eight generations of the series, from old favorites like Caterpie and Pikachu to more recent pocket monsters like Grookey and Scorbunny.

How Many Pokemon Are In New Pokemon Snap?

New Pokemon Snap features 214 Pokemon in total. As previously mentioned, the Pokemon are pulled from across all eight generations of the series’ history, so you’ll find monsters from the original Red and Blue versions all the way to the series’ latest mainline installments, Sword and Shield.

As in the original Nintendo 64 game, many of the Pokemon in New Pokemon Snap can be spotted right out in the open as you travel through the game’s different levels, but you’ll need to get creative with the tools at your disposal to discover some of them. Certain Pokemon will only emerge from their hiding places if you use the scan function or lure them out with apples fluffruit, for instance, so you’ll need to make liberal use of both if you’re hoping to fill out your Photodex.

Research levels also play a part in the Pokemon you encounter. As you raise a course’s research level, new Pokemon will start to appear. Monsters may also vary depending on the time of day, so you’ll need to revisit islands multiple times and increase their research level to discover all the Pokemon there are to find. You can see the full list of Pokemon in New Pokemon Snap below.

Doctor Strange Was Cut From WandaVision, MCU Boss Kevin Feige Says

One of the biggest surprises of Marvel Studios’ WandaVision wasn’t one of the show’s cameos or twists, but rather the lack of one. Many fans expected Doctor Strange to appear, and were left baffled–and a little disappointed–when he didn’t show up. In a post-finale twist, we now know that he was actually supposed to, thanks to a new interview of MCU boss Kevin Feige and WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer by Rolling Stone.

According to Rolling Stone, Feige explained that Marvel had made a deal with Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch to appear in WandaVision’s finale, but ended up writing him out late in the process. He explained why:

“Some people might say, ‘Oh, it would’ve been so cool to see Doctor Strange,” Feige told Rolling Stone. “But it would have taken away from Wanda, which is what we didn’t want to do. We didn’t want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie.”

While Strange’s presence would’ve pleased many fans, Feige’s statement speaks to one of the biggest criticisms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe–that everything that happens is a cliffhanger or announcement for the next thing. Even one of the show’s big twists–the truth behind the reappearance of Wanda’s brother Pietro Maximoff–seems to be an intentional bucking of that trend.

According to head writer Jac Schaeffer, WandaVision‘s strange commercials–pun definitely intended–were meant to come from the Sorcerer Supreme himself as messages to Wanda. Cumberbatch was even supposed to appear in one of the ads. This decision even meant that even the upcoming film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, had to be rewritten to some degree to account for the change.

While many fans will ultimately be disappointed at the idea of what could’ve been, it’s also cool to see Marvel Studios making character-centric decisions that push against the expectations of the Marvel movie-making machine.

The Marvel process, Feige said, is “a wonderful combination of very dedicated coordination and chaos. Chaos magic.”

Tetris Effect: Connected Is Coming To Steam This Summer

Tetris Effect: Connected is headed to Steam this summer, and the game’s store page is now live. As its name implies, Tetris Effect: Connected is an enhanced version of the original game of that title, only with better support for multiplayer Tetris as well as new single-player content.

The game originally came out as a limited-time Xbox console exclusive back in November 2020, and it’s set to come to PC and PS4 later this summer. Tetris Effect: Connected includes both the usual competitive Tetris, but it also includes a three-player cooperative mode. The game is directed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, a Japanese designer and producer well-known for his synaesthetic output, including the cult hit Rez and its re-release Rez Infinite. Developer Enhance recently confirmed that it is working on a new project.

In GameSpot’s Tetris Effect: Connected review, critic Mike Epstein praised the game for its mesmerizing aesthetics, as well as adding in more creative modes to the central Tetris action.

“But there’s no time for regrets in Tetris,” he wrote. “The next piece is falling and you only have a few seconds to put it in place. Then the next piece, and the one after that. Some people meditate to clear their minds. Other people cook, or build models. Tetris Effect has a similar capacity to clear your mind. In 2018, that made Tetris Effect feel special. In 2020, it feels essential.”

New Hitman 3 Season To Be Revealed This Week

Although developer IO Interactive has said that it’s taking a break from making new Hitman games, it isn’t done putting out new content for Hitman 3. The studio announced that it will reveal the next season for the game on May 5.

In a tweet, IO Interactive stated that the reveal will be streamed on Twitch and will include sneak peaks at new content, Q&A with the developers, discussion of upcoming patch notes, and a new trailer coming to Hitman 3. As of right now, we don’t know much about this new season beyond its name, Season of Sin.

However, we can get a decent idea of what to expect based on Hitman 3’s current season. Season of Greed, which runs through May 9, added a few paid DLC items and activities such as a suit, weapons, and a three-stage Escalation Mission. In addition, there were a handful of free timed events, including Contracts, an Escalation Mission, Elusive Targets, and an Easter egg hunt.

The paid content for each season individually costs $5. Otherwise, all of the seasonal content comes as part of the Seven Deadly Sins DLC, which costs $30 total.

In other IO Interactive news, the studio is taking a hiatus from the Hitman series because of its upcoming James Bond game. Although very early in development, the studio is bringing on an army of people to work on it and other in-progress games.

Mayans MC, FX’s Sons Of Anarchy Spin-Off, Renewed For Season 3

Get ready to ride again. FX announced today that Mayans M.C. will ride on for Season 4 in 2022, just ahead of Season 3’s penultimate episode.

Details on Mayans M.C. Season 4 are light right now. The show’s third season began this March after being pushed out of its Fall 2020 spot by COVID-related precautions and delays. FX has not yet set a date other than that simple 2022 number.

“I am deeply indebted to everyone at FX and 20th for allowing us to continue to tell the stories of the characters that [co-creator Kurt Sutter] and I created and whom our cast and crew took to new heights in season 3,” said executive producer Elgin James in an official statement. “In season 4 we look forward to diving deeper into each character’s truths, exploring the danger of the combustible world they inhabit, and for each writer, cast member and crew to stake out our place as storytellers.”

Mayans M.C., spun off of FX’s Sons of Anarchy, follows the once-rival gang and its life on the California-Mexico border through new member Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes. Season 3’s final pair of episodes will air tomorrow, May 4, and then on May 11.

Leaked Epic Games Store Documents Reveal Money And Downloads Numbers For “Free” Games

A leaked document from the ongoing Epic Games v. Apple lawsuit appears to reveal the number of downloads that each free game offered on the Epic Game Store amassed, as well as the lump sum paid to each developer. The document was posted on Twitter by GameDiscoverCo founder (and former Gamasutra editor) Simon Carless, and the numbers run for nine months, from January to September 2019.

As usual with these sort of leaked documents, we can’t speak to the absolute veracity of these numbers, but considering the sort of info that has to be prepared for large lawsuits, it’s definitely plausible. Carless said that he obtained the document from the public Apple vs. Epic document repository hosted on the cloud content site Box.

The numbers themselves give a rare look into the cost of “free” games. For example, according to the document, Epic paid Warner Bros. $1.5 million to offer the Batman Arkham series as a temporarily free game on the Epic Games Store. Most of the fees are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, including hit indie games like Subnautica and Celeste, though Metro: 2033 Redux was apparently given for $0.

The document also shows the number of Epic accounts and the percentage of accounts that were new to Epic, as well as a column that calculates the amount of money Epic spent on each new user. That metric is abbreviated UA, for “User Acquisition.” The whole purpose of these free games was to drive new users to EGS so they can establish a foothold against Steam. While these UA numbers are quite high, the colossal amount of money that Fortnite has made over the past few years has allowed Epic to finance this expensive strategy.

This leaked document is the latest in the unfolding saga of the Epic vs. Apple lawsuit, which began May 3. For more details on what the two tech companies are fighting over, and how it’s likely to shake out, check out our updated explainer.

Pokemon Go Marill Limited Research Event Set For May 9

Niantic is holding a new Limited Research event in Pokemon Go this Sunday, May 9. This event runs from 8 AM to 10 PM local time and gives you more chances to catch the Water/Fairy Pokemon Marill, including its Shiny variant.

Throughout the Limited Research event, Niantic will offer event-exclusive Field and Timed Research tasks that will lead to encounters with Marill, giving you more opportunities to catch the Water Mouse Pokemon. On top of that, Niantic says that Shiny Marill will be available during the event. You can read more details on the official Pokemon Go blog.

In the meantime, Niantic is kicking off the Luminous Legends X event starting May 4. That event introduces a handful of new Dragon and Fairy Gen 6 Pokemon to the game, including Spritzee, Swirlix, Goomy, and the Legendary Xerneas. The latter will appear as a five-star Raid boss until May 18.

Niantic is following that with a Luminous Legends Y event from May 18-31. While the studio hasn’t shared many details on that event just yet, it did confirm that the Legendary Pokemon Yveltal will be featured in five-star Raids, and it seems there will be increased Team Go Rocket activity.

Niantic has a few other May events lined up for the game over the next few weeks, including May’s Community Day. That event is set for Saturday, May 15, and the featured Pokemon this month will be Swablu. Immediately following the Community Day, Mega Altaria will make its debut in the game.

How To Unlock Call Of Duty’s New CARV.2 In Warzone And Black Ops Cold War

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s upcoming DLC weapon, the CARV.2 tactical rifle, isn’t officially available yet, but players are getting their hands on it early. Releasing with Cold War’s weekly Thursday update on May 6, the tactical rifle is already showing up in some player’s matches.

Activision describes this new burst-fire weapon as one that “stands out in the tactical rifle class with its high bullet velocity output, offering powerful damage, solid recoil control, and a large ammo pool from the start.” It’s unclear if there’s a licensing issue that changes the name, but the gun is very reminiscent of the burst-fire G11 assault rifle from Black Ops 1.

Players have been successful in testing out the CARV.2 in both Warzone and Cold War’s Zombies mode, but both methods are pretty random and fated by RNG.

For Warzone, you’ll need to launch the “Warzone Orientation” option, which is found under the “Private Match & Practice” tab. You don’t need to go through the actual Warzone training process. Instead, drop your 1911 pistol to get a primary weapon to appear in your hands. There’s a chance you’ll be holding the upcoming CARV.2, but the most common outcome is that you’ll have the FARA 83 equipped. I tried this method three times, and each time I was left holding the FARA, but luck or persistence may grant you a chance to take the CARV.2 into the firing range to shoot and inspect.

Zombies players posting footage of gameplay with the upgraded “pack-a-punched” version of the weapon, which was rewarded from completing Trials in either standard Zombies or Outbreak mode. Simply locate and activate the Trials computer terminal on a Zombies map, and keep activating and completing trials until your reward has reached the “legendary” rarity status. This is the reward tier that doles out upgraded weapons, but you’ll really need luck on your side for this method. There are a lot of guns in the Zombies weapon pool, so you’ll either get one of many upgraded weapons, a wonder weapon, or a perk as your reward.

If you’re not in a rush, you’ll be able to get your hands on this new tactical rifle soon, as the CARV.2 tactical rifle officially arrives to Black Ops Cold War and Warzone Thursday. To unlock it, you’ll need to complete an in-game challenge, but Activision did not release any details on what that challenge will entail. Alternatively, players can buy it through the “Plastik Prototype” DLC bundle that will also hit the shop with this week’s update.
