The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Are you bothered by having to wait around for runes to recharge in Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Then perhaps a new glitch will pique your interest.

Once you’ve placed an object in stasis and launched it airborne, viewing a cut-scene from Link’s memories restores your stamina and runes. The glitch allows players to use stasis several times over midair.

Here’s a look:

Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Master Works

At the end of last year, a special Master Works book for Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out in Japan. It featured a ton of concept art, a history section, developer interview, and more.

It will have taken about a year in the end, but the book is confirmed to be coming west. It’ll be localized as “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Creating a Champion”. Nintendo will once again be working with Dark Horse on the western version.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule once again, so we’re rounding up all of the different sessions in place as of today. There will be different periods for Switch, Wii U, and 3DS over the next few days as well as some downtime for using credit cards on the Switch eShop and the web Nintendo store.

Here’s the full rundown of upcoming maintenance:

Xenoblade Chronicles X

During the ending of Xenoblade Chronicles X, a certain character is shown, but only very briefly. The model is essentially obscured and players can’t really get a look at what this person looks like.

Now through datamining, TorchicFlame has managed to extract the full model. We have a couple of pictures attached below (proceed at your own risk!).

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

It’s unclear just how much Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sold during its first week in the UK. However, we do know that it was towards the top of the charts.

GamesIndustry adds that the new Switch version “already accounts for nearly 17% of the total number of copies the game has sold in the UK (physical units only). Week one sales of the Switch version were 53.7% higher than week one sales of the Wii U version (although Switch does have a considerably higher install base).”

We should have an idea as to how Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze performed on Switch in Japan this week. As for the US, we’ll need to wait for next month’s NPD report.
