Pokemon Scarlet Violet Hidden Treasure of Area Zero icons Switch Online

December 7: Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will be wrapping up The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC next week, and to celebrate, fans can get their hands on new Nintendo Switch Online icons.

Characters, backgrounds, and frames are up for grabs. You can nab character icons for 10 My Nintendo Platinum Points each. The backgrounds and frames go for 5 Platinum Points each. All icons you redeem now are yours to keep forever – even if your Nintendo Switch Online subscription expires.

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age are coming to Nintendo Switch Online via the Expansion Pack tier next week, Nintendo has announced. Both are due out on January 17, 2024.

Golden Sun originally released on the Game Boy Advance in 2001. It was followed by Golden Sun: The Lost Age in 2002 (2003 in the west).

A couple of new videos have come in for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown ahead of next week’s launch. Along with the launch trailer, we have a graphics comparison courtesy of GameXplain.

As noted in the technical analysis post, the Switch version of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown turned out very well. It’s a bit downgraded compared to other platforms, but not in an overly significant way.

Original: Switch 2 speculation won’t stop until Nintendo makes an official announcement, and the rumor hill is heating up again with Ai Shark claiming that the console will launch in September 2024.

The news is tucked away in a press release about another matter, which is that Altec Lansing is the first licensee of Ai Shark’s gaming software. Furthermore, Ai Shark will be bringing back the GameShark brand in a different way. As old-school gamers will remember, GameShark is a series of cheat code devices. But now with Ai Shark, it’s AI-enhanced software that is designed to aid “individuals in improving their gameplay over time.”


Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown frame rate resolution

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is almost here, and we’ve got insight into the game’s frame rate, resolution, and more courtesy of a technical analysis from Digital Foundry.

The easiest way to break everything down here is that the Switch version turned out very well. Both frame rate (during gameplay) and resolution max out what’s possible on the system.
