Nostalgia is one of the most prevalent themes in the top August 2016 gaming ideas.

The augmented reality game Pokémon Go has become a worldwide phenomenon, appealing to a new generation of anime fans, as well as a large group of Millennials who grew up dreaming of being Pocket Monster hunters. Alongside what's officially offered through the popular app, there have been numerous apps, services and devices created to enhance the gaming experience—this includes dating sites, standalone chat apps and even professional Pokémon hunter services.

A desire to rekindle the flames of the past is also being seen from major brands like Nintendo and Sega, which both recently announced that they will be launching their own small-scale retro gaming consoles that will come pre-loaded with an assortment of classic games.
