Datamine hints at two unannounced Splatoon 3 amiibo
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in News, Switch | 0 comments
Just a few short days ago, Nintendo officially announced the release date for the new Sora amiibo. And according to a recent datamine of Splatoon 3, they’re not done with new figures just yet.
A thread from ashbinary_ on Twitter goes in-depth on Splatoon 3’s resource table, which contains references to content not currently available in-game. This includes new weapon kits, unreleased stages, and unreleased sets of gear. Two of those unreleased gear sets have the amiibo brand, which implies that Nintendo is planning to release at least two more new amiibo figures for Splatoon 3. That being said, the reference to these amiibo doesn’t necessarily guarantee their release – though it would make sense for the release of the Side Order DLC next year.

Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch eShop | 0 comments
If you’ve been looking up Super Mario RPG guides here and there lately, then you’ve probably heard of Grate Guy’s Casino. It’s a secret location that includes a bunch of unique minigames, and they’re all required for full 100 percent completion of the game. Unfortunately, you can’t just walk right into the casino – it’s hidden behind a secret passage in Bean Valley. Most of the minigames offered at Grate Guy’s Casino also, quite frankly, aren’t terribly fun. Still, if you’re looking to see all of the content Super Mario RPG has to offer, we’ve got you covered.

Super Mario RPG Monster List guide
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
New to the recently-released Super Mario RPG remake is a Monster List that tracks every single enemy in the game. When you encounter an enemy, it’s automatically added to the database. However, its entry is not complete until you successfully use Mallow’s Thought Peek spell on it. Several enemies have missable Thought Peek entries – luckily, there’s an NPC in Booster Pass hidden in a cliff who will sell you new Monster List entries in exchange for three Frog Coins. Feel free to check out our Frog Coin farming guide before you continue here.

Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
If you’ve read our 100% completion guide for Super Mario RPG, you probably know that obtaining a gold medal on the Beetle Mania mini-game is a requirement for full game completion.

If you speak with him a certain number of times, he’ll earn a high score and then give you the game to keep. From there, you can open up your menu and go to the “Play Game” section to play a brand-new mini-game called Beetle Mania.
Today, we’re going over a brief strategy to get the 5 million points you need to earn that gold medal.
