LEGO 2K Drive physical download code

LEGO 2K Drive is seeing a retail release on Switch, but probably not in the way that most would have hoped. Rather than including an actual physical cartridge, it looks like 2K Games is opting to simply including a download code.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen something like this, and it definitely won’t be the last. However, given that LEGO 2K Drive is a fairly significant game release, it’s somewhat of a surprise. Not everyone will care – especially if you were planning on going digital in the first place – but it’s still worth bringing up.

Nintendo Russia import ban

We heard last year that Nintendo had halted shipments to Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. However, it’s being reported that the head of Nintendo’s Russian division seemingly set up a secondary company to import and sell games to get around the ban. Meanwhile, the Big N itself has also weighed in with an official statement.

Kommersant reports that Metroid Prime Remastered is being sold in Russia through Achivka. Yasha Haddazhi, who’s leading things over at Nintendo Russia, is apparently importing Nintendo games and consoles. Haddazji apparently founded Achivka last December and is the majority owner. Ksenia Kachalova is also a minority owner.


zelda breath of the wild sound effects

Sound effects are an important aspect of game development, but it took on an especially big priority in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. There’s a greater emphasis on exploration and nature, so it isn’t always filled with bombastic music that the series is known for.

In a piece published on Nintendo’s recruitment site, developer Takuro Yasuda provided some insight into the creation of sound effects in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Interestingly, it was shared that he used his own voice for the Yiga Clan. Yasuda also touched on how he came up with the idea of different sounds being played for Link’s bag depending on which foot the character was stepping on.

Our full translation of the piece regarding sound effects in Zelda: Breath of the Wild is as follows:
