How to 100% complete Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over how to complete one of the most time-consuming challenges Nintendo has provided for us this year: Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD 100 percent completion.
At first glance, it might not seem like there’s a ton to do in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD after clearing the main story. This isn’t quite the case, however. Clearing the Dark Moon quest alone isn’t enough to earn you full 100 percent completion. When you do fully complete the game, you’ll have three gold medals on your profile at all times. These show to people you play with in multiplayer ScareScraper lobbies, too. Each gold medal is unlocked with a different set of criteria, and believe us – it’s going to take you a long time if you want to get all three. It took us around 50 hours, and that’s probably on the lower end of the time you can expect to burn here.
Examining the lore of Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 art book was released a few months back, and in addition to providing an in-depth look at character designs, it also provided a huge amount of lore via its included interviews. Xenoblade Chronicles games are famous for their lore, and all 3 numbered titles provide story tidbits at the end that sort of re-contextualize cutscenes from earlier in the game. The interviews included in the art book are with game director Tetsuya Takahashi, and a good chunk of the new lore he reveals in them re-contextualizes certain cutscenes from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in the same way. Today, we’re looking at the Xenoblade 3 art book and all of the new story details – and what they mean for the game’s overarching plot. This will contain full spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, and 3, so keep that in mind before you continue.

Boo Locations guide – Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’ve put together a list of all the Boo locations in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.
Boos are one of two main collectibles found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – in addition to gems, which we’ve already covered. Whereas some gems can be collected in several different missions, there is strictly one Boo per mission. Basically, discovering Boos requires the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until after the first few missions in the Gloomy Manor. Despite this, the first couple of levels do indeed have Boos, which means you’ll have to go back and replay them after you obtain the Dark-Light Device. To reveal a Boo, you will need to reveal a hidden furniture item with your Dark-Light Device and then suck up the spirit pieces to reveal it. From there, continue using your Dark-Light Device to bring the Boo out of hiding, and then grab its tongue and pull to deal damage to it.

The Treacherous Mansion is the final mansion in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and its gems look like diamonds. These are certainly the trickiest gems in the game, and several of them require extensive backtracking and rather difficult puzzles. We’ve also listed the missions that each gem is available in.
How to upgrade partners in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Posted on 9 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
If you’ve been playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, we’ve got the full rundown on how to upgrade partners.
Partners are sort of the cornerstone of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its battle system. Each one has their own unique set of attacks, and swapping between them at the right time can make or break a tough boss battle. Mario can constantly level up and increase his stats, but the same isn’t true for partners. Instead, you’ll need to collect and use Shine Sprites to initiate a partner upgrade. Every partner can be upgraded twice, and doing so increases their attack power and grants them access to a new move. There are just enough Shine Sprites to fully upgrade all of your partners, so don’t worry about having to make any difficult choices.

Gems take the form of Emeralds at the Haunted Towers, and they’re another form of the main collectible found in the game. Most of the gems we list here can only be obtained in a specific room of a specific mission, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled to uncover all 13 of them.

With June 2024’s Nintendo Direct all wrapped up, we thought it’d be a good time to pick five of the best Nintendo Directs and ask you: which one is your favorite of all time?
Nintendo Directs are no doubt one of the absolute highlights of being a Nintendo fan. In some ways, it sort of feels like we live “Direct to Direct” – after a presentation comes and goes, we’re already looking forward to the next one, no matter how far it is. The presentations vary in the quality and quantity of their announcements, but are always something to look forward to.
