Glitch lets your horse continuously sprint in Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 3 Comments
Every horse in Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a limited amount of stamina. You can sprint for a set number of times before your horse needs to rest for a few seconds. But if you’re willing to take advantage of a new glitch, you can have it spring continuously.
The first thing you’ll need is a shield. Other than that, you’ll have to put in some work to nail some button presses.

World of Goo, Little Inferno, Human Resource Machine out in Europe next week
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 5 Comments
Update: A new blog post from Tomorrow Corporation indicates that all of its games will be heading to Europe next week. Also, there could be a physical box in the future:
“We are looking into a physical version, but it’s a lot trickier than the digital world we’re all living in now. If we do find a way to make a physical version, it will not be for a while. In the meantime, you are welcome to download the games to your Switch, and then put your Switch in a box. Is a physical version something you want? Let us know!”
Original: Tomorrow Corporation is bringing three games to the North American Switch eShop today. World of Goo, Little Inferno, and Human Resource Machine should all be out in just a bit. But what about Europe?
Over on the European Switch eShop, Little Inferno is listed for March 23. Presumably the other two games will be launching on the same day as well. Each one will cost £8.99.

Image & Form exploring physical release for SteamWorld Dig 2, open to bringing previous games to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
As of now, SteamWorld Dig 2 will be a digital title on Switch. The game could eventually go the physical route as well.
In a Reddit AMA, Image & Form community manager Julius Guldbog said the team is “looking into” the possibility of SteamWorld Dig 2 seeing a retail release. Guldbog added in a separate comment:
“No word on a physical release yet. We’re in the talks with distributors, but have nothing to announce at this moment. BUT SteamWorld Collection did REALLY well for us, so physical makes a lot of sense.”
Guldbog was also asked throughout the AMA about bringing past SteamWorld entries to Switch. Image & Form would “love” to make that happen, but SteamWorld Dig 2 is the focus for the time being.
