Editor's Comments
I'm genuinely excited for the Bandai Namco Summer Showcase 2025.
The promise of a new My Hero Academia game feels like a love letter to anime fans, and the potential for Switch 2 reveals has me on the edge of my seat, especially with Nintendo's next console looming.
Bandai Namco's knack for blending nostalgia with fresh ideas—think Patapon remasters alongside bold new titles like The Blood of Dawnwalker—makes this event a must-watch.
It's a chance to see how they'll balance their iconic franchises with new adventures, and I'll be glued to the stream, hoping for a surprise or two that could redefine the summer gaming vibe.
