[Let’s Talk] Favorite kingdoms in Super Mario Odyssey

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 22 Comments

It’s crazy to think about, but Super Mario Odyssey has already been around for a month. At this point, many of you have likely completed the game – or at least reached the ending. That probably means you’ve seen a good chunk of what the game has to offer when it comes to kingdoms.

Kingdoms are obviously a huge part of Super Mario Odyssey. Each area is very distinct and has its own challenges. Some are big, a couple are small, and others fall right in the middle.

Out of the kingdoms you’ve traveled to thus far, which ones are you favorite? And on the opposite end of the spectrum, are there any that you’re not a fan of in particular? Let us know how you feel below. If you’re reading other comments, be warned that there may be possible spoilers.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has plenty of audio options

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 23 Comments

Audio shouldn’t be an issue when playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Those with early access to the game have confirmed that Monolith Soft has included a plethora of volume options. Players can modify the volume for cut-scene voices, game background music, game sound effects, game voices, battle narration, environment volume, and system volume.

It’s worth pointing out these options since the audio in Xenoblade Chronicles X was a common complaint. The Wii U RPG didn’t offer much in the way of tuning volume to your liking. This was an issue throughout the game. As one example, music during cut-scenes sometimes made it difficult to hear what characters were saying.
