After nearly 20 years, illusionist and magician Uri Geller has given Nintendo permission to once again use Kadabra on Pokemon cards. Geller, who is perhaps most well-known for his ability to bend spoons with his mind, sued Nintendo in 2000 and asked that Kadabra no longer be allowed to be put on Pokemon cards due to the similarity of Kadabra's spoon and Japanese name to himself. In Japan, Kadabra is written in certain variations that include Yungerer and Yungeller, which are both similar sounding to Geller. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/10/25/top-10-scariest-pokemon"] Now, almost 20 years after Kadabra's last appearance on a Pokemon card in 2003, he has changed his mind. "I am truly sorry for what I did 20 years ago," Geller wrote on Twitter. "Kids and grownups I am releasing the ban. It’s now all up to #Nintendo to bring my #kadabra #pokemon card back. It will probably be one of the rarest cards now! Much energy and love to all!" Speaking to TheGamer, Geller expanded on his decision, saying that "due to the tremendous volume of emails I am still getting begging me to allow Nintendo to bring back Kadabra/Yungeller, I sent [...] a letter to the chairman of Nintendo giving them permission to relaunch the Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller worldwide." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-pokemon-review-ever&captions=true"] Geller also said that his letter was received by "two Nintendo representatives," so now it appears to be in Nintendo's hands to bring back Kadabra to the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Considering Kadabra evolves from Abra and to Alakazam, working around the lack of this Pokemon was tricky. In the past, The Pokemon Trading Card Game has given Abra the ability to skip Kadabra and evolve right into Alakazam and has offered a premium Alakazam card that needs no prior evolutions.

Microsoft Flight Simulator will get VR support on December 22, 2020, and a substantial UK World Update will be ready on January 26, 2021. Revealed during an official Microsoft Flight Simulator developer Q&A on Twitch, VR will be added in the free Sim Update 2 for all the big VR headsets, including those from Oculus and Valve. Furthermore, the VR experience will include both the gameplay and menus, offering a smooth and immersive experience throughout. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/17/microsoft-flight-simulator-review"] World Update 3, on the other hand, will create a more accurate rendition of the UK using new data and aerial images for England, Scotland, and Wales. There will also be 50-60 new points of interest, including new landmarks and procedural buildings, and improvements to certain existing airports like Land's End, Liverpool EGGP and Manchester Baron. There will be new challenges and a new flight as well. Improvements to the Northern Ireland region is part of Asobo's plan, but it may not be ready for World Update 3. The UK World Update follows similar ones for Japan and the U.S., and will further improve the already impressive map of the world that players can fly around. Additionally, Asobo said it will be returning to the U.S. in future world updates, and will improve Hawaii, Alaska, and others. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=32-of-microsoft-flight-simulators-37000-airports&captions=true"] In our Microsoft Flight Simulator review, in which we gave it a 10/10, we said that it "is legitimately incredible. It's difficult to fully describe how amazing it feels to jump into a plane and have the freedom to fly to and from literally any place in the entire world. The base game's 20 included aircraft feel like more than enough for even hardcore aviation enthusiasts, and the ability to adjust the assists to tailor the experience to whatever skill level you desire makes it suitable for anyone looking to fly the friendly skies from the comfort of their home."

If you begin Cyberpunk 2077 on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you will be able to bring your save with you to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, respectively. Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red detailed the steps needed to ensure your saves will transfer with you to your next-gen console, and they vary slightly between the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The PlayStation Plus Collection is a perk for PS5 owners that gives them access to 20 of the best PS4 games. However, some are exploiting a loophole that allows them sell and unlock these games for PS4 owners. As reported by VGC, auction sites like eBay have multiple listings of people offering the chance for them to log on to a buyer's PSN account, unlock the PlayStation Plus Collection games on PS4, and then logging out. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/playstation-plus-collection-trailer"] There are certain users that have sold this service to over 20 people, but it appears that Sony may be banning them for doing so. As VGC points out, it also may be because Sony has been known to ban people who log into a high number of users accounts in one day as a protection against fraud, but it's pretty safe to say Sony didn't intend for this to be an option. According to users on A9VG, certain user's bans are said to be for two months and the PS5 consoles involved are permanently being blocked from network services. The PlayStation Plus Collection includes such first-party games as God of War, Bloodborne, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, as well as some from third-party partners like Monster Hunter: World, Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition, and Persona 5.

Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 5.4 - Futures Rewritten - will be released on December 8, 2020, and brings with it new story content, a new raid, and so much more. Futures Rewritten's Raid is called Eden's Promise and sees players being invited by Ryne and her mysterious counterpart Gaia to the Empty to see "whether life continues to flourish in the once-barren desert."

Ah we just can't get enough of the trailer, so here it is again!#FFXIV Patch 5.4—Futures Rewritten arrives on Tuesday, December 8! https://t.co/qcrLxpTyuk pic.twitter.com/9TyM64tVLC

— FINAL FANTASY XIV (@FF_XIV_EN) November 27, 2020

As revealed in Final Fantasy XIV's latest Letter from the Producer stream, the raid will be four parts and takes players back to the Cloud of Darkness from A Realm Reborn's alliance raid. A new dungeon - Matoya's Relict - is also being added and takes place in The Makers' Quarter, which was once home to the "finest crafters Eorzea had ever seen, but it has lain in forgotten ruin since the Sharlayan exodus." Patch 5.4, and the subsequent Patch 5.45, will also see updates to the Blue Mage, Chronicles of a New Era - The Sorrow of Werlyt, a New Trial and Large-scale battle, Ishgardian Restoration Updates, Triple Triad and Demon Mahjon updates, and so much more. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=final-fantasy-xiv-patch-54-futures-rewritten-screenshots&captions=true"] The team also announced the Final Fantasy XIV Announcement Showcase for February 5, 2021, at 5:30pm PT/8:30pm ET/1:30am GMT (2/6), and while it was only teased that the team will announce "cool things," many believe it could be the announcement of the next expansion. Final Fantasy XIV's third expansion - Shadowbringers - was announced in 2018 and was released on July 2, 2019. That was two years after Stormblood, which was two years after Heavensward. Assuming no further delays related to COVID-19 or otherwise occur, it would make sense that FFXIV's newest expansion's reveal should be imminent. Oh, and perhaps most importantly, Final Fantasy XIV is teaming up with Pusheen to offer animated iMessage stickers that will soon be available on Apple's App Store. I mean, these are just the best.
