Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is shutting down after a run spanning 7 years. Nintendo recently announced the news, thanking its dedicated fanbase for keeping the game afloat. The free-to-play mobile spinoff was released in 2017 and adapted many of the features of mainline games. Decorating, visiting campsites, and doing daily tasks were all key components of its gameplay. With the game maintaining a sizable player base, this news will likely shock many who play daily.

While it’s true that Gamescom is about to start, another gaming event will drop right after it, as it starts on August 30th. We’re talking about PAX West, one of the most fan-friendly gaming events in the world. The entire PAX brand is great, and many developers show up to those shows, as they know that there will be droves of people who want to play games and see what’s coming up next. Case in point: Nintendo will be at PAX next week, and they’ve provided an insight into the games you’ll get to play there. Two of the titles are ones that haven’t even come out yet!

The Xbox brand has been getting tons of headlines over the last 24 hours, and not in a positive way. There’s been plenty being shown and said during Gamescom that makes many wonder what the brand’s fate will be going forward. Naturally, the team is attempting to “wave off” any “misgivings” that may appear obvious, including by trying to cloud the news with some reveals. For example, Microsoft dropped a trailer highlighting three new types of Xbox Series X/S models that players can get. Each has its own “unique variation” to separate it from the others. Here’s how they all break down.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

In an age where most video games tend to get ported or remastered at some point, there’s a dizzying array of PS2 games that still haven’t been released on modern platforms, even if they were released on other platforms at the time.
