Nintendo launches its long-awaited Pokémon Go Plus device on Friday 16th September. That's next week!

If you judge a game by the questions it makes you ask when you're playing - and I appreciate that nobody actually judges a game like this - then The Tomorrow Children is quite something. "Why do I need a house?" That was an early question. "How do I get money?" "Why do I need money?" Somebody (and, sadly, I think that somebody was me) was having a strange kind of awakening.

Thierry Henry is playable in NBA 2K17.

Last night Sony announced its PlayStation 4 Pro. As the name suggests, it is being marketed as a high-end device for players with 4K kit already in their homes.

It's really tricky appreciating PlayStation 4 Pro and all the 4K and HDR rhetoric without seeing it for yourself.

The day after the reveal of the PlayStation 4 Pro, it's been fascinating to check in with the Digital Foundry team to get their reactions to the new hardware. As I suspected, Sony faces a real challenge here in communicating the advantages the PS4 Pro offers. What I saw was a nigh-on pristine, high resolution presentation paired with game-changing HDR technology. What the team - and presumably everyone else - saw was... well, very little improvement over the existing PlayStation 4.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been pushed back to 2018, with the spiritual successor to Konami's Castlevania series delayed in order to meet the developer's quality standards.

For too long, Pokémon fans have wondered about Professor Oak's family. Is there a Mrs Oak? What's going on with him and Ash's mum?

Sony's PlayStation 4 'slim' revision - codenamed CUH-2000 - follows in a fine tradition of excellent quality second-gen Sony hardware. The new console is significantly more power efficient, it generates less heat and it is palpably quieter. And as for its divisive looks? Let's just say that the photos seen thus far do not do this product justice. With one notable exception, there's no sense that Sony was fighting to bring this product in at a specific budget. You still feel like you're getting your money's worth: it looks and feels solid, and build quality is on par with the existing models.

I went into the PlayStation Meeting today as a sceptic, believing that the hardware may not be up to the task of powering a 4K display. The good news is that several hours later, I emerged from the event impressed with the quality of the experience and respectful of the wizardry utilised to make this GPU punch above its weight. However, fundamentally, there's little doubt that PlayStation 4 Pro is going to be a tough sell. Traditional gaming media simply can't capture and communicate the quality of the imagery I saw today, as there's no real way to showcase HDR meaningfully. And this is actually a key component of the PlayStation 4 Pro experience. 4K is impressive and a worthy upgrade in its own right, but HDR takes it to the next level.

World of Warcraft: Legion sales are in and the sixth expansion has done well - really well.

Warner Bros. will re-release both Lego Harry Potter games on one disc, remastered for PlayStation 4 on 21st October.

Endless Space is where it all began for Amplitude Studios and now, four years later, it's time for the sequel. This team's quadrupled in size since that first Endless game and it seems they're eager to show what they can do with all that extra manpower.

Last night Sony announced the PS4 slim and the PS4 Pro. The slim is pretty much the same as the original PS4, except it's smaller, and the Pro is more powerful than the original. There's a lot more detail in Digital Foundry's in-depth report on the PS4 Pro.

Last night Sony announced the new PlayStation 4 Pro and PS4 slim, and alongside them, a raft of new peripherals.

UPDATE: Sony has confirmed the specs of the PS4 Pro.

The focus at Sony's PlayStation Meeting event in New York is on PlayStation 4 Pro, but it's not the only Sony console that will be able to use the capabilities of the latest TV sets.

It's hard to whine too much about the fall of the futuristic racer when there's ample evidence pointing towards the genre's rude health right now. Godfathers of the form, WipEout creator Studio Liverpool, may be no more, but plenty of imitators have emerged in its wake, from neat twists on the formula such as Distance's horror-tinged racing or Fast Racing Neo's hard edges. Redout, which has recently launched on Steam, stands out as being the most fastidious student of the style, so it's no wonder people are falling so readily in love. There have been games inspired by WipEout in recent years, but none of them have been quite so much like that iconic PlayStation series as this.

Ubisoft's excellent open-world racing game The Crew is free to download on PC from mid-September.

Interplay has put all of its games up for sale.

UPDATE As expected, Apple has announced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Capcom has released a new video showing off Urien, the final season one DLC character for Street Fighter 5.
