New information about Saturo Iwata’s input into the development of Pokémon Gold and Silver has been discovered.
It has long been believed that Saturo Iwata was responsible for helping Game Freak fit the Kanto region, as well as the Johto region into one GameBoy cartridge of Pokémon Gold and Silver, but a new investigation suggests that isn’t the case.
A new video from DidYouKnowGaming suggests that data from Pokémon Gold and Silver actually point to Iwata’s work being related to the game’s speed.
According to the investigation, Iwata repurposed code from Earthbound for Pokémon Gold and Silver, which made the game run quicker than it did prior to Iwata’s involvement.

As shown in the video, the improvements are very marginal, with Iwata’s code saving as little as a fraction of a second in some cases. This can be seen when encountering wild Pokémon.
For years, a rumor had persisted that Iwata managed to reduce the game size of Pokémon Gold and Silver, which allowed the games to include more content, but DidYouKnowGaming actually points out that Iwata’s code made the games take up more room on the GameBoy cartridges.
Several Nintendo luminaries are responsible for large contributions to the Pokémon franchise. For example, it was Shigeru Miyamoto who suggested to Game Freak that the original Pokemon title be split into two games, each containing version-exclusive Pokémon, in order to encourage trading with other versions. This has since become a staple of the franchise.

Spider-Man 2 will receive a New Game+ mode as part of a post-launch update, later this year. As per Insomniac Games Community Director James Stevenson, just like the 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, those looking to replay the title and mop up all the side quests might have to wait a bit, though for now, simply beating it once grants access to an ‘Ultimate' difficulty setting for a fresh playthrough. For the uninitiated, a New Game + mode generally allows players to plunge back into a game's campaign in an overpowered state, as the in-game character carries over all unlocked abilities, tools and weapons, and gear upgrades.

Atlus has been busy on lots of things recently, and even if some of those things aren’t exactly what fans want, you can’t deny that they’re doing good with what they are working on. Case in point: the Persona 3 Reload title that is coming out early next year has gotten many fans talking. The third entry in this RPG franchise was the one that both saved the series and saved Atlus. It was where many of the key elements and gameplay features that became staples later on started out. Since its announcement, Atlus has been dropping tons of details to prepare players for the remake.
Yes, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes halted production on a lot of TV and movies this year.

The creepy home invasion horror movie The Strangers has become a bit of a cult classic since its release in 2008. While the series did garner a 2018 sequel, The Strangers: Prey By Night, it never quite spawned the franchise you might expect from a hit horror movie. But director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Exorcist: The Beginning) and Lionsgate are here to fix that with a trilogy of new Strangers movies inspired by the originals.
