Old school game fans have a new title to look forward to snapping up next month called Retro Winter Sports 1986.

Konami has announced that their upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh based collectible card game, called Duel Links, will be launching globally soon. So far this game has soft launched in Japan back in November 2016 and has already racked up over 5 million downloads within 2 weeks just from that region alone.
Another day, another Pokemon GO piece of news, or in this case, some news along with a game update. Niantic Labs has pushed out a new update that brings with it a few helpful new features for trainers to use. However, inside the game’s code, more goodies have been found, but this time it looks to be about holiday costumes coming to the game in another update before Christmas.
Last month we reported on Zen Studios and that they had begun teasing their upcoming release of Bethesda Pinball.

Usually Nvidia takes CES each year to announce their next products in the mobile gaming space, whether that be a new iteration of a current product, or a whole new device.

According to an anonymous source, this is exactly what will be happening regarding the Nvidia Shield Android TV.
Developers Terrible Toybox originally got their upcoming game Thimbleweed Park funded on Kickstarter and announced back in March of this year.

Luckily it isn’t too much longer of a wait.
Sony has decided to follow in Nintendo’s footsteps by announcing today that the company is planning to bring 10 Playstation games to Android and iOS devices. It’s a bit odd to say that Sony is following Nintendo as this isn’t Sony’s first time in the smartphone gaming scene at all. The company had the Xperia Play Android gaming phone, and also had the Playstation Mobile store where Android users could purchase games for Xperia devices, some of which were Playstation titles.
The other news regarding Pokemon GO yesterday, about the 100 new 2nd generation Pokemon making their appearance on December 8th, seems to have either been off or has changed. The chances are, since this will arrive as an update, that it is the latter of the two options and Niantic has decided to change when they are arriving because of the leaked Starbucks document.
In a double-header of Pokemon GO news, it appears that Niantic Labs has teamed up with Sprint for… something.

One of the problems with mobile gaming isn’t so much the games themselves, but the download sizes. This holds true with not just your initial update of a big game, but also the subsequent updates that games and apps get that also are big. If you have unlimited data on your plan, then this doesn’t matter much either way. However, if you don’t have unlimited data, the last thing you want to do is chew up a large chunk of your data downloading a 1GB game update.
