How long it takes to beat Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Now that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has launched, some fans might be curious as to how long it takes to beat the game.
Echoes of Wisdom is available now on Switch, and it’s the first truly new top-down entry in the series since A Link Between Worlds over ten years ago. Whereas new 3D Zelda titles are notorious for taking well over 150 hours to fully complete, Echoes of Wisdom is more of a bite-sized adventure in comparison. Still, there’s plenty of content on offer, especially if you’re going for 100 percent completion.
Strange moves you never knew Pokemon could learn
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
In the early days of Pokemon – we’re talking back on Game Boy – many Pokemon suffered from incredibly small movepools. For example, Scyther didn’t have access to a single Flying-type move in Red and Blue despite being a half Flying-type itself. Fortunately, the developers have fixed this issue over the years, and now many Pokemon have huge movepools. That being said, certain move decisions are questionable at best. Some Pokemon have access to certain moves that don’t make a ton of sense thematically, and today we’re going over a big list of some of the strangest movepool additions in the Pokemon series.

7 Star Serperior guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
The 7 Star Serperior Tera Raid Battle for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is live now. It goes from now until September 22nd, and then it comes back a week later from September 27 to September 29. This time, Serperior is running Tera Grass, which boosts its signature Contrary Leaf Storms to nuclear power. That means you’d better have Sap Sipper or a really solid and bulky Grass-type resistance. If you’re looking to take down this tough opponent, check out our strategy below.

How to revisit the Grand Festival venue in Splatoon 3
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Splatoon 3’s big Grand Festival event has wrapped up, ending the game’s primary content cycle (save for maybe a couple of repeat Splatfests). During the event, all players were moved over to an exclusive Grand Festival venue instead of the standard Splatsville, Inkopolis Square, or Inkopolis Plaza hub. The seven idols took turns performing their music during the event, too. The Grand Festival venue had a ton of work put into it, and so it’d be a shame if it weren’t accessible again after the event. Fortunately, you can still go back even though the event has ended. All you need is a certain amiibo.

Examining each of Nintendo’s launch titles
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
With Nintendo’s next console confirmed to be revealed before March 2025, we thought it’d be a good time to examine something that will be very impactful on whether it succeeds or not: its launch titles. Though launch titles don’t always make or break a console’s success, they definitely play a hand in what happens next. Today, we’re going over all of Nintendo’s strongest and weakest launch titles and how they affected their respective systems.
The best and worst Salmon Run rotations possible in Splatoon 3
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Every few days, a new Salmon Run shift starts in Splatoon 3. Each one includes four different weapons, a different stage, and a different King Salmonids. We’ve already written guides on all of the King Salmonids in Splatoon 3 (you can check them out here), but how can you tell if a given rotation is good or bad? Today, we’re going over what makes a Salmon Run shift “good” – in other words, viable for farming – and what makes a Salmon Run shift “bad”, too.

The most forgotten Pokemon of all time, ranked
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
The matter of most forgotten Pokemon is always a subjective one. Everybody’s got different favorites, and they say that every single Pokemon is at least one person’s favorite. That being said, some Pokemon are more obscure than others – and there are bound to be instances where a specific Pokemon is the favorite of very few players.
Today, we’re going over a list of some of the most forgotten Pokemon of all time. Do note that we’re actually not including Lumineon on this list – it’s always on “most forgotten Pokemon” lists, and it’s so forgettable that it’s looped around into being memorable for being forgettable (if that makes sense). We’re including Pokemon who really aren’t talked about very much.

How to use and counter every sub weapon in Splatoon 3
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
With Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival coming up soon, we figured now would be a good time to make a guide on sub weapons aimed at casual or former players who might be returning to play the event.
If you haven’t played much of Splatoon 3 just yet (somehow), there are tons of sub weapons available in the game that each serve a different purpose. Some are area-of-effect damage-rackers, while others are purely defensive or for support. Still, how well you use your subs can make or break individual games. Some are better than others, too, so we’ll be going over what each one does, tips for using them, and how to counter other players using them against you.

The hardest Shiny Pokemon to get, ranked
Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
Today, we’re listing off some of the hardest Shiny Pokemon to get. Most of these are from games prior to the Switch generation, but can still be transferred over to modern games.
At the time of writing, Pokemon Bank is still open for business – at least for those who’ve already downloaded it. In the past, we’ve discussed easy Shiny hunts you can do on DS and 3DS-generation Pokemon games. But how about some of the most difficult? Indeed, all of the Pokemon games prior to X and Y have a decreased Shiny rate of 1 in 8000 (roughly), which means there are plenty of tough and time-consuming Shiny hunts to do before Pokemon Bank eventually closes. Get ready for some tough hunts!

It goes from September 6 to September 8, and then comes back the following weekend from September 13 to September 15.
