Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom Book Returning as a Paperback satoru nintendo

Viz Media announced it will rerelease the book Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom, which is based on the former Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata's insights. The new version will be a paperback, following the original hardcover release in April 2021. It will be available again in Summer 2026. (Digital copies are still available now on storefronts like Amazon.) 

Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom is a book that is more about life, management, and general thoughts on productivity and pursuing passions. It isn't a compilation of, say, Iwata Asks topics based on his interviews Satoru Iwata conducted while at Nintendo. Think of it more as a collection of essays that commemorate his approach to work and life. While there could be an occasional reference to Nintendo, it isn't strictly a gaming book. 

Here's the official teaser image for the cover for the paperback release:

The official trailer also offered more insights into what to expect from it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeKUVacw1rs

When Viz Media first released the Hobonichi book worldwide, it only appeared in hardcover and digital formats. It is still possible to find it at places like Barnes and Noble and Kinokuniya in-stock, but  some stores like Crunchyroll no longer offer it. 

The paperback version of Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom featuring insights from Nintendo's Satoru Iwata will appear in Spring 2026 in North America.

2025 Chicago Pinball Expo Starts

The 2025 Chicago Pinball Expo, which covers both pinball and some retro gaming systems and topics, is now live at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel in Schaumburg, IL. The event this year runs until October 18, 2025. A single-day ticket for people ages 11 and up is $50. The event hall is open until 12am CT on October 17, 2025, and it stays open until 1am CT on October 18, 2025. 

While the events and autograph sessions primarily focus on pinball, arcade cabinets and retro titles come up both during panels, via special guests, and sellers in the vendor hall. For example, some of the more notable activities earlier on Friday were a Stern Pinball Tour, due to the company's factory being in the area. Some of teh panels on FRiday included Jeremy Saucier's "Preserving & Exhibiting the History of Coin-Op Games at the Strong National Museum of Play" and Stern Pinball's "Stern Technology." Some of the Saturday panels include looks into pinball tables like Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye, King Kong: Myth of Terror Island, and Star Wars: Fall of the Empire. Flipout and kid's tournaments are taking place. One of the more notable gaming attendees is Atari founder Nolan Bushnell. 

The Chicago Pinball Expo is an annual event taking place in the Chicago suburbs. 2025 marks its 41st year. In the past, it's also been combined with other events, such as suburban Video Game Summit. In 2025, the Video Game Summit was a separate event that took place in Countryside, IL in July 2025.

The Chicago Pinball Expo runs until October 18, 2025, and it takes place at Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel in Schaumburg, IL

8.5 Honkai Impact 3rd Update Adds New Elysia Battlesuit Next Week

The 8.5 Honkai Impact 3rd Hyperion Lounge stream aired and confirmed all the details about the latest update for the game, as well as confirmed a Sunright Tea Studio crossover event for the US and Mexico. The next patch arrives on October 23, 2025, and it is expected to run until December 2025. The Sunright Tea event takes place between October 25, 2025 and November 11, 2025. That Honkai Impact 3rd event will feature Elysia in her new Hi! Love Elf Battlesuit appearance. 

The Hi! Love Elf Elysia Battlesuit is an S-rank Battlesuit that uses bows to attack and deals Ice DMG. The new weapon is the Pure Love's Whisper five-star bow that can Pri-Arm to become Pure Love's Whisper: Heart's Wish, and the Stigmata set featuring her is called Blissful Days. 

The update will also feature new 8.5 Main Story Part 2 Chapter X missions. Senadina seems to be back to spend time with the Dreamseeker, with Elysia apparently also there. This comes after storylines involving The Seven Shus and Leylah. However, the teaser also shows Leylah in a new light. 

There will also be a new costume for the Kiana S-rank Battlesuit Ba-Dum Fiery Wishing Star called Wintery Wishes. That will be part of the Outfit Supply. Songque's Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer will also get a Whitewave Topper swimsuit costume, with that being a spend bonus. 

Here's the general trailer for the update:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36HCgrzsw2o

And here's the 8.5 Hyperion Lounge for Honkai Impact 3rd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypjDZ_2M3s0

With the Honkai Impact 3rd Sunright Tea crossover, there will be three drinks inspired by Elysia, Kiana, and Mei. Here's the list of the items, as well as the official image showing how they'll look:

  • Elysia's Strawberry Honey Boba Milk
  • Kiana's Lemon Yakult with Jasmine Tea Jelly
  • Mei's Blueberry Crunch Frostie

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the new Elysia Battlesuit and story missions will be live in 8.5 on October 23, 2025. The Sunright Tea event runs October 25, 2025 to November 11, 2025.

Arc Raiders banner

What might just be the most revolutionary extraction shooter is almost here, with the years-long wait marred by delays almost coming to an end.

So, if you're as excited as I am for this game, then you'll want to know when it's coming out exactly, and this countdown should give you a real-time up-to-date picture of how much more you'll have to wait.

ARC Raiders release time and date

ARC Raiders comes out on Oct. 30 on the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X. That puts it just about two weeks ahead of this article, with a full-blown open beta running between Oct. 17 and 19. ARC Raiders will not be a free-to-play experience, and instead charge a AA price of $40, which is a great way for developers to make a profit off their efforts as well as a means to curb cheating.

The countdown below will tick down to Oct. 30 at 12am CT, since official, exact release times are yet to be revealed. We will update the countdown with additional relevant information as it becomes available. In the meantime, this should give you a general sense of how far away the game's launch is.


[hurrytimer id="1130647"]

ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter with both PVP and PVE elements, focusing on giving players a high-stakes, high-tension experience that is starkly different to most other games in the genre. It's one of the most anticipated titles of 2025, and bound to be a smash hit once it does launch later in October.

ARC Raiders hiding from giant ARC tank

Every reaction I have while playing ARC Raiders during its server slam test two weeks prior to its initial launch makes me feel uneasy and anxious. And I think I like it.

I didn't get a chance to play the extraction shooter in its earlier tests this year due to scheduling issues, but I've finally been embarking on excursions in its open test today, and it's making me finally understand what all the hype about the genre is.

ARC Raiders ganeplay screenshot

The PvEvP third-person shooter is the first of its kind where I truly felt the thrill. I had a similar feeling during the Marathon play test this year, but pulling back the camera into third-person is what I think I truly needed to really "get" the hype.

Every second of a deployment in ARC Raiders is dripping with tension and anxiety. Scouring for weapons and crafting materials while dealing with both other players looking to gun you down and the menacing ARC robots hunting throughout the playable area is pretty nerve-racking, but it feels fun to me. I don't exactly know why, because my life and the world in general have plenty enough anxiety these days, but this game has a pull to it that I haven't felt in any other in the genre before.

I think some of it has to do with the fact that the game is optimized beautifully, which is disappointingly rare for a PC title in 2025. It runs flawlessly at high settings, which is a lot more than I can say for several AAA titles I've played this year. But also, I like the skill tree and sense of progression when it comes to building your character, too, so it's not just tied to loot.

I am definitely not the only one who's pumped for the prospects of ARC Raiders. For months, I've seen gamers hyping it up online after it made a great impression during earlier tests. And as I type, over 175,000 players on Steam alone are in-game during the server slam, and that is absolutely nothing to scoff at. This feels like the next big extraction shooter title, and I feel as though it warrants the enthusiasm, as it strikes the balance of PvE and PvP pretty well so far from what I've played.

And yet, even for all of the fun and positivity I feel about ARC Raiders, I don't think I will ever truly love the genre. It's inherently competitive, which is something I lean further and further away from in gaming as I age. And no matter the extraction shooter, losing all of your loot is a feeling that just plain sucks, and I don't know if I have the energy or enthusiasm to keep on trucking after a devastating L. But that seems to be a "me" problem, because everyone else I see on social media and sites like Twitch is enthralled by the game. And you know what? I get it.

I'm happy for gamers everywhere that ARC Raiders is an exciting new title, and it's one I intend to keep an eye on as it evolves over time. I do feel like it's ultimately not a habit game for me at this point in my life, but that doesn't change anything about how fun it can be and how promising it feels. And I'm thankful that I at least have a modicum of that itch that fans of extraction shooters feel for the genre.

ARC Raiders launches in full on Oct. 30 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, and the server slam playtest is available for all players for free this weekend.

ARC Raiders PvE shooter trailer

ARC Raiders is almost upon us, bringing innovative new ways to experience the extraction shooter genre. But, two weeks ahead of release, the devs decided to host an open beta for anyone to hop in and give the game a try.

So, if you're one of many eager players who wish to hop into this title as soon as possible, here's how you can do so.

ARC Raiders Server Slam - How to access and download the playtest

To access the ARC Raiders server slam on Steam, simply navigate to the game's Steam page and press "Request Access" on the playtest. Once you've done so, you'll be automatically let in, allowing you to download the game from your Steam library just like any other title.

For Xbox Series S and X, and the PlayStation 5, accessing the beta is done by downloading the game from the relevant store, much like you would other games in your library. Then, just fire it up on any of these platforms between Oct. 17 and 19, and you'll be able to play the game in full, as well as have the chance to give the devs your two cents on the game, the balance, and so on.

ARC Raiders has an official Discord server where you can communicate directly with the amazing team behind it, share your thoughts with them, or report any bugs and issues related to your playtest access.

If all goes smoothly, you'll be having one of the best gaming weekends ever, guaranteed!

Panpour, a blue monkey with a fountain-like design on its head, hangs out in a tree in this Legends ZA screenshot

Pokémon Legends Z-A is out now, and trainers around the world are setting off to catch everything Lumiose City has to offer. Included in the Pokédex are the three elemental monkeys from Unova: Panpour, Pansage, and Pansear.

You'll need these three monkeys to complete the 018 side quest named "A Pan-tastic Pot of Tea," which can be found just southeast of Wild Zone Two. A man is seeking all three monkeys to create the perfect cup of tea, and you're tasked with catching them for him. Unfortunately, though, these creatures aren't as straightforward to find as much as a Pikachu or a Hawlucha. It'll take a bit of luck and a lot of trees to find them.

Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage location in Pokémon Legends Z-A

If you check the 'Dex entry for Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage, the game tells you these Unovian species like to live in "high places" and are often seen in trees, though it won't tell you exactly where to look. All three Unovian elemental monkeys can be found sitting in trees scattered around Lumiose City or on rooftops.

Not all trees will spawn a Pokémon, though. I found the most luck looking in the trees on Autumnal Avenue in the north side of Lumiose City, sandwiched between the Magenta and Rouge sectors of the map. There are tons of trees that line this road, and I was able to locate all three monkeys in one go. Luckily for players, these species spawn both during the day and night, so you won't have to worry about finding a bench and passing time.

If you'd rather take to the skies, you can also find Panpour, Pansage, and Pansear on rooftops. I found two monkeys on the same rooftop where you can find Eevee, on the south side of the map near the Bleu Sector 7.

I recommend looking for the monkeys in trees instead of rooftops, though, since it's easier to catch them while they're hanging out in the branches. If you approach them on the rooftops, they'll act skittishly and try to run from you. But if you go up to them when they're in trees, they won't move, making it much easier to aim and throw a Poké Ball at them.

How to evolve Panpour, Pansage, and Pansear in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Once you have your monkeys, you can return to the man southeast of Wild Zone Two to complete the "A Pan-tastic Pot of Tea" quest. If you'd like to evolve any of your three monkeys into Simisear, Simisage, or Simipour, you'll need a Fire Stone, Leaf Stone, and a Water Stone, respectively. You can find these Evolution Stones by picking up random items around the city, or you can buy them from the Stone Emporium in the south of the map, north of Wild Zone One.
