The Capcom Spotlight kicked off yesterday, and Kuma is here with their afterthoughts on the showcase. (It is weird talking in third person.) Anyway, good morning gamers. Let’s break it down.
Games Featured during the Spotlight:
Capcom is showcasing a lot of bangers this coming season, and let’s go down the list.
The long wait for PRAGMATA is nearly over, but Capcom fittingly had to update the game’s release date one final time. The sci-fi action-adventure is now moonwalking to PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2, and PC via Steam on April 17, 2026* – one week earlier than before!
A brand-new trailer also explored previously unseen locales within the lunar setting of PRAGMATA. These levels include the surface of the moon and a lush greenhouse-like sector within the station, where formidable new foes await Hugh and Diana as they fight to escape and return to Earth.
The footage also introduces new elements found within the Shelter. In this base of operations, Hugh and Diana meet Cabin, a standalone support robot who assists with various Shelter functions. These include the Cabin Stamp Club, where Cabin Coins can be exchanged for rewards from the stamp board, with additional bonuses for completing rows. Cabin also allows players to change the Shelter’s background music via his jukebox, with more tracks becoming available as players progress through the game. This safe haven is also where players can equip cosmetic items and enjoy extras like those found in the Deluxe Edition and its Shelter Variety Pack, which includes extra costumes, a weapon skin, Diana gestures, more Shelter music, and a collection of artwork.
Pre-orders for PRAGMATA are available now and include a samurai-themed Neo Bushido outfit for Hugh and a ninja-inspired Neo Kunoichi costume for Diana as a bonus. Players can also experience the game’s unique and thrilling gameplay today with the PRAGMATA Sketchbook demo. This free public demo is out now via the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Store, and Steam.
Luckily, there is a hands-on demo running right now that we have already tried, and you can click here to watch. Capcom is releasing a solid action game where Diana will be a crucial asset in your mission to get home. It gives a Father and Daughter or Big Brother and sister atmosphere. Even though Diana is an android, it doesn’t matter as she brings in a level of care as you proect her and she protects you.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Reveals So Much:
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, as some might know, takes a turn where you befriend monsters instead of just hunting them. The Monsties grow a bond with their rider, especially since you get their eggs and have to hatch them, and then nurture them. It is a great take on a long series, and having to have your favorite Monster as a companion is fun.
Ahead of the fast-approaching March 13 launch of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Capcom released the Launch Trailer that delivers a dramatic synopsis of the engaging story and announced a special Animated Trailer offering an expanded look into the protagonist’s childhood and their journey becoming a Ranger set before the events of the upcoming role-playing game.
In Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, players will seek to uncover the truth behind a looming environmental crisis called the Crystal Encroachment that pulls two countries onto a path to destruction. The latest entry of the Monster Hunter Stories series is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, building on the series’ beloved turn-based RPG foundation with new enhancements.
To get a taste of this adventure, players can download the Trial Version now to experience the opening chapter of the game and transfer save data into the full game at launch. Linking save data from select Monster Hunter™ titles unlocks layered armor bonuses, including the Hakum Rider Outfit, Mahana Rider Outfit, Kamura Garb, and the Hope Layered Armor set for the Protagonist, while connecting a CAPCOM ID grants the Catcom Work outfit for Rudy.
Upon launch on March 13, the Gold Circlet accessory and Simon’s Wind Wyvern’s Friend layered armor will unlock as free day-one DLC. Players who pre-order the title will also receive the Eleanor: Skyscale Queen layered armor.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is dropping next week, and since I have a Switch 2 now. That might be the platform I adventure on. If interst you can check out our previous review by clicking here for Monster Hunter Stories 2.
More Mega Man Details:
The blue bomber is finally returning, and many gamers are overjoyed. The last Mega Man title was Mega Man 11, but we are here for the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and Mega Man: Dual Override. This will be the latest game coming out in 2027.
